Pelletier has entered inâ€" to a contract with the International Mail Equipment Company for one hundred thousand rural mail delivery combined â€" letter and parcel _ post boxes at $4.25 apiece. â€" All these boxes are to be delivered and paid for within three years. ‘The comâ€" pany was the highest tenderer, but its offer was accepted on the score that its boxes were the most satis factory. This is the American comâ€" pany, with a branch factory installâ€" ed at Toronto under agreement with the exâ€"Postmaster general, Hon. Roâ€" dolphe Lemieux, for the manufacture of one hundred thousand rural | mail delivery boxes at $3.00 apece. it will be remembered that when Nr. Lemieux made his contract with the Company there was â€" very strong Conservative criticism, and the pat riotism and honesty ‘of the contract were called in question. _ Now _ Mr. Pebletiet has entered into a _ miuch larger contract with the same conâ€" cern for an additional hundred thou sand boxes at a higher price, but of course it is all right for a Conservaâ€" live (Government to do things for which a Liberal Government is conâ€" denined. ‘The announcement of the improveâ€" ment of the mail service _ between Waterloo county towns, which _ apâ€" prars in another column _ will be doubtless welcome news to the resiâ€" dents of all the places affected. During the past few years . there has been a growing tendency in the post office department to make imâ€" provements in the mail service . out provements in the mail service . out of the larger centres to the smaller cities and towns at the expense of the smaller places; or at least withâ€" out any corresponding improvement 1 in the means of communication â€" beâ€" tween the people of the smaller cenâ€" tres. In this way Berlin has, during: the past few years, been _ largely cut ofi from Elmira (which has _ a direct mail service via the C. P. R. from ‘Toronto),. St. Jacobs, . New Hamburtg and Baden. Nominally there were two mails a day to these points but in reality but one, as the eveâ€" ning mail arrived too late for *disâ€" tripution the same day, with the result that a day more than necesâ€" sary was required in getting a reâ€" in later than Tuesday noon. .

Indirectly this was also a handicap. on local merchants, who are _ interâ€" ested in getting then newspaper anâ€" nouncements in the hands of _ the readers at the earliest possible moâ€"l ment. A realization of these condiâ€" tions ied the Telegraph to take the matter up with Mr. W.

As the second mail does not get out until the 9.38 train, it arrives too late for distribution the same _ day, so there was virtually but one mail a day to these Waterloo _ couaty points. It was suggested that the service could be greatly improved by despatching mail on the 6.18 train, which would permit of the delivery of the mail on tne same day. Mr. Weichel assured the Daily Telegraph that he would take up the matter with the Deputy Postmaster Gemer&l, Dr. Coulter, with the reâ€" sult that on Wednesday Postmaster Niekaus received official notice from the Department at Ottawa that the suggestions offered by the Telegraph had been approved and would take eefiett on Thursday, KEPHALDOL is now sold in Canâ€" ada by druggists in 50c tubes ot may be had by sending 50c direct to Kephaldol Limited, 31 Latour Strtet Montreal. The firstâ€"class mail for St. Jacobs and Elmira and Baden and New Hamburg will hereafter close at 5.30 p. m., and for secondâ€"class mail at 5.15 o‘clock, in ample time to be despatched on the 6.20 and 6.18 trains respectively. In addition to the above improvement there is now a late delivery to Galt, Preston and Hespeler, the mail closing at 4.30 o‘clock in time to catch the & o‘clock car for Preston. dress in the majority of cases until the next morning. The question of an improved mail delivery was taken up a few weeks ago by the management of the Daily ‘Telegraph with the Postâ€"Office Deâ€" partment, through Mr. W. G. Weiche!, M.P. It was pointed out that at present the only mails from Berlin to Elmira close at the Berlin postâ€" olfice at 10.30 a.m. and 7.30 p.im. The latter mail, however, does . wot leave Berlin until 9.38, and is not distributed in the Elmira post oifice until the following morning. Thus there was really but one mail a day to St. Jacobs and Elmira. In order to improve the . service _ it _ was suggested that two lock bags, that would carry first and second _ class mail, one for Elmira and one for St. .Jacobs, be made up at Rerlin and despatched on the 6.30 G.T.R. train for these points. The Telegraph takes this opportunity of thanking Mr. Weichel _ for the businessâ€"like manner in which he has dealt with the matter, and asâ€" sures him that the improved service will" not only be appreclated _ by this great family journal, but by the citizens of the various towns _ and villages fSat will be benefitted by this greatly improved mail service.
