Since, inception of the system, estab- <br />lished c7m� unity boundaries:frequently have coincided with mail <br />processing requirements._ In these cases,•ZIP Codes have been <br />assigned accordingly. However, mail distribution, transportation, <br />and delivery requirements together with topographical considerations <br />in certain areas make the assignment of individual ZIP Codes to <br />every established community impracticable. <br />The assignment of a separate ZIP Code for the Ramsey Branch <br />wou lamsey i caa continue usepthatiname asoaemailing ddress. <br />• A proliferation of ZIP Codes along boundaries inconsistent <br />with mail processing and delivery areas would be costly and <br />adversely affect postal services. <br />If I may be of assistance in the future, please let me know. <br />Sincerely. <br />Stephen M. Gordon <br />Senior Representative (Acting) <br />Government Relations Department '.' <br />
