An order was issued from the post office |
department last April by which it is in
tended to equalize the rental fees for the
use of the boxes in the different post offices
all over the country. Under this new reg
ulation the prices for the boxes will De
raised in some places but the rates will be
uniform in all offices where practically the
same amount of business is done. This
will raise the rates for the boxes at the Of
fee in this village and at the time Mr..
Webster received notice of the change he
wrote the postal department stating that
a large percentage OF the patrons of this
Office were parties among whom the in
crease would be felt far more than among
Offices patronized more largely by business
concerns. and received a reply that the
order would not go into effect here until
later. It is expected that it will soon take
effect here and Mr.. Webster has had the |
instructions printed and a copy will be
placed in every box to show the reason for |
the increase.
