POST MASTER AIIIJS CEEIIKS
Without, any authority from Wash- '
ingfcon, but solely on his own re- \
sponsibility. R. S. Hickman, post
master of Knsl.ey. plans to place two
extra mail carriers to work Monday 1
morning. It is stated that at this ,
time Ensley is not receiving in the j
residential section but one delivery;
per day of all mail and that as a l
result tlie; mail is getting heavier j
and heavier resulting in delays and j
incomplete deliveries even this early
in the holiday rush, It, is under- i
stood many appeals have been made i
to Washington for some relief but '
so far nothing has been done, result- <
ing in Mr. Hickman determining to
give Ensley one delivery on his own
authority. The hope is entertained
that the liberty Mr. Hickman plans
will be looked upon favorably in
Washington and l>usley given the
service to which the city is believed
entitk-d.
