Rural Mail Patron*
All duties connected with rural mail delivery do not fall on the mail carrier. There are duties,,for the patrons, as 'the following re* minders will show.
These are excerpts from the , Postal Bulletin, October 26, 1950:
“Where weeds along a highway might cause the drifting of snow, postmasters should recommend the removal of the weeds before the beginning of the snow season. At the approach of the winter season, postmasters should inform patrons that' they are expected to see that roads are put in auchi condition after heavy snows that it will be possible for rural carrier* to travel them.
“Postmasters should remind patrons that they are required to keep clear the approaches to their mail boxes by promptly removing obstructions, including snow, which render it difficult or impossible for the carrier to deliver mail to the boxes without alighting from his vfehide.
“Carriers are not required to perform service on foot when roads cannot be traveled with the conveyances ordinarily used by them, but, they are expected to make every reasonable effort to serve as many of their patrons as possible.”
The rural box holder should keep the approach to his mail box . clear and free from all obstructions if he expects delivery service. The Postal Bulletin recommends that the box holder make arrangements to relocate their boxes or make other arrangements to'receive, their mail dining the’ winter weather if the road is not open for the rural mail carrier to drive up to the box.
The rural mail carrier has available for the convenience of the rural mail patron a supply of stamps’ahd stamped envelopes. Patrons are requested to keep the necessary supply on hand as it will greatly help to make possible
