This was RA. 1, Hamilton, and the contractor wend, ed ,his way for seven miles to An - caster and return. When the system was introd,uted, it was confined to existing stage routes, but strong claims were made by those on other roads with the result that by 1912 under im- proved regulations, all persons re- siding along well defined roads over a mile long became eligible for rural mail delivery. Another advantage was that rural route couriers were permitted to sell postage stamps, take applications and accept money for money ord- eys and postal notes. By November of that year, over 25,000 boxes were being served on 900 routes. Over the years, the number of calls has continued' to increase and on almost all country lanes the -horse and buggy 'has now been replaced by an automobile. A few hours travel by car covers a route which required a day to complete formerly. As happened in the case of the original service, some rural routes are the forerunners of letter carrier delivery as Canadian cities continue to expand. In 1951,•. iii an effort to provide mail service to isolated groups' of families on the Newfoundland coast, several "Water Rural Routes" were started. They were over thirty miles long and patrons were served by motor launch once a week. There were no mail boxes involved as patrons met 'the beat at Ole 'whorl/VS 444,' nducted7their poita/ business On the spot. In reporting to Parliament tbIO year, the Honorable Vlfilliam Hum- ilton, Postmaster General, indicat- ed that some 600,000 householders are now served loSr • OM • theliSand lion !rates are travelled annually by the R.R. couriers. He also stat- ed that over 4,000 group mail boxes now accommodate 40,000 patrons. • The water buffalo of India and other parts of the. east is enorm- ously strong and qiiick.
