W. S, D., St. Marys,—Qu.—Is it
lawful to place the rural mail box
within four feet of the travelled
road ?
(2) ;In case a vehicle: is broken, by
coming in contact with. the mail box,
who would be responsible for the
damage 2
Ans.—The regulation with regard
to placing rural mail post boxes, is,
"that they shall be placed near en-
ough to the travelled road to enable
the courier to deposit the mail in
the box without dismounting from: his
vehicle." I should - think that the
post might be .placed ever nearer to
the traveled road than, four feet.
(2) If the posts have been legally
placed near to the traveled road;
those driving vehicles_ along the road
should take care not to run into.
those posts. "Phe posts are there
for the convenience of the public,
just as bridges are pleced,on the•
highways for the canvensenpe of the
public. If a traveler comes into
contact with the side of a bridge and
inur,o his, vehicle he would not have
any legal ;right to claim; damages
from. anybody, and on the saline grin-
ciple a travoler,coming into collision
with a rural mail box post cannot.
claim damages from anybody, but the
traveler may have to pay for the
damage done to the post.
