Bristow Reverses Policy on Establishing Post Offices
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow inaugurates a new, broader policy to establish post offices wherever there is sufficient business or population. The prior administration favored a conservative approach, limiting offices to avoid clustering, with some exceptions for location and demand. The rule against offices closer than three miles is not fixed and many exceptions are made. The policy aims to improve mail facilities and serve more people, balancing practicality and cost.
