Mail Delivery Expanded to All Concord Residents on April 16, 1925

New Carrier Added to City Mail Service. . . Postmaster Ward Announces the New Streets to Have Postal Delivery—Parcel Post Delivery Speeded

Postmaster W.B. Ward made announcement this morning of the addition of a new city carrier, to take up his new duties April 16th. This addition will enable the local postal authorities to extend the service and give delivery to practically all points in Concord. It will also enable more prompt delivery of parcel post from the fact that “in the past a carrier has been handling first class mail in the morning and early afternoon and leaving parcel post until late in the afternoon,” according to Mr. Ward.

“People living on the streets that are to be now placed on the city delivery should furnish the local post office with a list of all persons receiving mail at their number, and provide mail boxes near the front door. No mail can be delivered until boxes are put up.

“The re-arrangement of the routes and schedules may cause some confusion for a few days, and the local office asks the indulgence of its patrons until this new service fully established and working smoothly.”

The city delivery limits have been extended to include the following additional streets:

From intersection of East Depot and Ashlyn Avenue to city limits.

To end of Loan Street.

East end of March and south end of Vance.

Meadow Street to city limits.

North end of Vance Street to American Avenue.

American Avenue to North Church Street.

Waddell Street.

North Church Street from St. Marys to city limits.

Carolina Avenue.

Douglass Avenue.

Caldwell west from North Spring.

Second Buffalo west from North Spring.

Bruton Street.

St. John Street from North Kerr to Ann.

West ends of Fink, Elm, and Odell streets.

Buck Street.

James Avenue.

South end of Tournament to High Street.

High Street from Tournament to Broad Street.

Broad Street from Chestnut to end of pavement.

South Spring Street from Tribune.
