WANT LETTER BOXES IN ALL THE HOUSES Postmen Are Delayed In De- livery--Request Made to City Council. John Drew, Toronto, superintend- ant of letter carriers has been in the city the last few days and has ac- companied the letter carriers on their walks, He réports that there are a great many houses that have no letter boxes, on one beat alone there being sixty houses without the boxes. This delays the letter car- riers and causes them to lose a great deal of time. Some years ago Postmaster Stewart asked the city council to see that the houses had letter boxes and the request was turned down. The postmaster will again ask the council and will also bring it before the Board of Trade, to see if the people can be made to have letter boxes. The following are cities and towns in Ontario that have by-laws compelling the people to have letter boxes: Belleville, Brampton, Brock- ville, Fort Willlam, Kitchener, Nia- gara Falls, Port Arthur.
