Rural Free Delivery Rules and Petition Requirements
The Independent outlines how rural free delivery is established. Petitions for each route must be signed by at least 100 heads of families for routes twenty four miles or longer, with separate petitions for each route. Petitions filed are investigated by a rural agent, routes planned to minimize future changes, and boxes installed at roadside with approved specifications. Carriers deliver and collect mail at patron boxes, require proper handling of registered and pension letters, and postage rates remain unchanged except drop letters prepaid at two cents.
