the since then post office vary from 2 to 5 per year according to the size of box and that the rates have not been in creased since 1928 when they were 1 and 3 last week an editorial in this paper gave the impression that rates had been increased re cently which is incorrect in tor onto persons who have boxes at the post office pay from 8 to 10 they are used by large firms who have bags of mail and employ a carrier to deliver the mail to them many times a day the tribune is not complaining about the rental charges for boxes but the fact that some persons get their mail carried to their very door whereas others go to the posupffice and pick up their mail and pay for the privilege through box rental our suggestion might be to make a small annual charge on those people who have their mail delivered at the door having made the suggestion we are inviting a flood of protests from our city readers perhaps likewise farmers get a free service that would net the government quite a sum if paid
