Brooklyn Residents Want Rural Deliv
ery Have Star Route Now Guard
Florimond Coming for Installation
Frost-Andrews Wedding. '
A petition with more than one hun
dred signatures of persons residing
within one mile of the postoffico at
Brooklyn has been sent to the postof
fice department requesting that a rural
free delivery route be established from
that office. The yearly amount of ex
pense attached to the establishing of
such a route would amount to $825.
About fifty families living within a
mile of the postoffice call there for
their mail, which 13 brought and tak
en from Brooklyn to Danielson over a
star route, the carrier making four
trips a da v. The yearly expense of the
star route is $585.66. Only one other
town in the state has a star route ser
vice four times a da.
The question appears to be whether
the postoffice department will be will
ing to establish a rural free delivery
route from an office that is at the ter
minal of a star route also. Such an
arrangement woirtd entail a yearly to
tal cost for the star route, which must
be continued, and tha rural route of
$1,410.60.
