STAMP SCARCITY IN GREBNVILLE

The residents in the vicinity of Green
vile avenue and the Boulevard, or in
fact all those living on the extreme west
side. are complaining because the Cow
ernment took away the stamp agency
which was located at Linden avenue and
the Boulevard. Since the stamp agency
was taken away, some weeks ago, some
of the residents waited on Postmaster
Jordan. to see if they could get relief.
They were informed that the only way
in which they could be benefited was by
petitioning the authorities at Washing
ton. The agency on the west side was
abolished because of the rule of the au-
thorities. which stated that all agencies
not Of a years standing were TO be done
away with. There is only one sub-sta-
ton in the whole of Greenville, but some
pharmacies keep stamps just to obfige
customers, hut they cannot be bought in
quantities except at the sub-station.
This sub-station is located on Ocean
avenue, etween Linden and Danforth
avenue. The residents on the west side,
for more than a mile around, are forced
to sgo that distance for stamps. A petit
ton will be circulated shortly and it is
thought that 1t will have over a thou
sand signers. The petition will be for a
sub-station and it will be placed in the
Postmaster's hands,, to be forwarded to
Washing ron. Those who are behind the
movement hope to be successful in the
attempt to establish a sub-station in that
section.
