following question inthe Legal
Column of Saturday's Malt & Em-
pire '
Is It lawful to pi ace the rural
mall box within four Meet of the
traveled road?
(2) In case a Vehicle is broken by
coming in contact with the snail
box who would be responsible for
the damao'e?
Ans.—The regulation with regard
to placing rural mail post boxes
is. that they r &hall be placed nem)
enough• to the traveled road to
enable tae ooutier to deposit'lths

]ng from his vehicle.' Ishouid
think that the post might bo plac-
ed
lcoed even nearer to the: travc I:c1
road than four feet.
(2) If the posts .have .bjeen l egr l l
placed near to hie traveled road,
these driving, vehicles along- the
road 'should: take care not to run
into those postr. The posits are
there for the convenience of the
public, just as bridges are placed
on the highways for the conv en-
ience of the public. If a traveler
domes into contact 'with the side of
a bridge and injuries his vehicle
he would. not have any 'legal, right.

Mrs. Geo. Thorne to cross the At-

10, 1912, on her :maiden trip to
