Rensselaer Residents Are Now Delaying Free Mail Delivery.

Considerable complaint has been made against the rnayor and the city council for the delay of the city street markings in preparation for free city mail delivery. The streets have been marked and the defllay is now caused by the residences not being supplied with man boxes. This must be done before the delivery can be established. Postmaster Littlefield informed the editor today that if the boxes are put in place he will 'Have an inspector come at once and that there is no doubt that the free delivery will be granted. The boxes can Ibe secured at the local hardware stares and for the very nominal sum of seventy-five cents. If you want free mail delivery in Rensselaer put up your mail box at once. .
