Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 June 1906 — MUST DISPLAY SIGNALS. [ARTICLE]

MUST DISPLAY SIGNALS.

On and after July 1, 1906, patrons of the rural delivery service will be required to display signals on their boxes when they leave mail in them for carriers to collect, as, after that date, carriers, when serving their routes, will not be required to open and examine any mail boxes except those to which they have mail to deliver and thosp on which signals are displayed to indicate there is mail for carriers to collect. Those patrons whose boxes are not provided with signals must attach thereto some device which, when displayed, will plainly show passing carriers there is mail to be that such device shall be either complicated or costly; a very simple arrangement will answer the purpose. Carriers must lower the signals on the boxes after making collections, provided no mail is left therein; and must display the signals when they deposit mail for patrons, unless the patrons have made request to the contrary.
