Rural Money Orders for Rural Free Delivery Planned
The department plans a new order to extend rural free delivery to allow rural carriers to pay post office money orders up to 100 dollars. Patrons may cash money orders without visiting a post office, with equality to city services. The change will not be immediate, likely in the next year, and retains current processing by the issuing office. A separate anecdote recalls a humorous Scottish tale of a condemned man requesting his Sabbath blacks.
