Laws for Postmasters and Subscribers in Newspaper Subscriptions
Postmasters must notify when a subscriber does not take a paper from the office and may be held liable for payment. Any person removing a paper from the post office is responsible for its cost. Discontinuance requires full arrears before ending service. Stopped papers sent after a specified stop date must be paid if collected from the office. Refusing delivery or leaving papers unclaimed is prima facie evidence of fraud.
