Proposition of Free Mail Delivery System To Be Considered. Rural Delivery Route May Also Be Established Here Mayor Garrett has called a mass meeting tor next Wednesday, Aurcu XUlli, at i :3U p. in., m the courthouse to consider tlie matter ot tree delivery ot mail in our city. The Post Office Department is willing to put in a free delivery system in Nepin providing the citizens will make tne necessary changes to take care of the work. The free delivery of mail would be a great accommodation to the people ot this city, whose homes are located a long distance trom the post oitice, and it would provide work for at It may least two men, as carriers. also be possible, to establish a Rural Delivery Route from the Nephi office at the same time, which would deliver the mail to the farmers who live out of the city limits between Nephi and Mona. Before this system could be installed, the city would have to arrange for the naming of all the streets, and the numbering of the houses, and the citizens would have to install mail boxes at their homes. The installation of a free delivery system would help materially to get work started on the new Federal building, and there is no doubt but what the people of Nephi will accept the offer of the government.

The City Council are considering the question of paving Main Street, for two or three blocks, providing they can get help from the County, and also from the State Road Commission. Mayor Garrett has a comprehensive plan for the improvement of Main street, which, if put into effect, would place this city in the forefront in the way of civic advancement. This paper is heartily in accord with the plan, as outlined by the Mayor, as it would be a move in the right direction, and would be the best advertisement this city could get. Our main street is sufficiently wide to permit ot parking the center, with the pavement on either side.

The law which has just been signed by President Wilson, makes available the huge sum of nine million dollars for roads and trails within or partly within the National Forests. The law also authorizes the Secretary of War to transfer to the Secretary of Agriculture material, equipment and supplies suitable for highway improvement and not needed by the War Department. Our own forest near Nephi will undoubtedly receive an appropriation from this big sum, and the road to the Rangers Station at the back of be Mt. Nebo will, without doubt, put in first class condition, which will make it much more convenient for the people of this city who wish to take a ride in our canyons on a summer evening. The Forest office at Ogden informs this office that the plans are already approved for work on Utah Forest Roads, and that a prompt start will be made as soon as weather conditions will permit. Under this law preference will be given to the employment of honorably discharged soldiers, sailors and Marines, for the required labor. Three million of the appropriation is now available, and another three million dollars will become available on July 1st. zens to pass upon the question.
