Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 254, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 October 1916 — Not the Monon’s Job By 47 Feet and 5 Inches. [ARTICLE]

Not the Monon’s Job By 47 Feet and 5 Inches.

You wouldn’t know what the above meant if you had read that far and stopped. The distance between the Monon riepot and the Monon postoffkf? has been measured again for the forty-elcvefith time to determine whose duty it is to tete the mail from the depot to the postoffice—the Monon Py, Co., or the XJ. S. The last measurement shows that the postoffice is distant from the depot exactly 47 feet and 5 inches farther than the 80 rods, which ds the limit for the delivery of mail by the railways of the country. There have been a number of surveys cf th& distance, but none of them ever agreed as 10 the exact measurement. The last survey or measurement was made bv a representative of the Monon. Nacurally the people of Monon are much relieved to have the exact distance from the postoffice to the depot at last definitely settled.
