Is UP TO THE PEOPLE
Postmaster Allen Wants Them to
Decide About Closing Sundays

Postmaster Allen Wants Thorn to
Decide About Closing Sundays
Postmaster s. Brown Allen yester-
day issued the following statement
which is addressed to the Staunton
public:
am advised by the Post Office De
partment in Washington of their de-
sire to close this Office on Sunday if it
is the wish of It's patrons, and tn this
end I want to ascertain the sentiment
of the community in respect to it.
1 would be glad to have the various
churches III the city take the matter
up and advise me Of the result of their
deliberations.
would be glad also for the business
men Of the city and the Chamber Of
Commerce to give expression to their
views on the subject through the news
papers or otherwise.
If the office is to be closed on Sum
day, as I think it should be, I will ex-
poet the cordial cooperation of the
people.
Very Respectfully,
s. BROWN ALLEN,
Postmaster.
Sentiment here seems to favor the
Sunday closing and Stannton in all
probability will fall in line with the
other Virginia cities which have adopt
this rule. It has been in force in
Richmond tor several weeks and has
met with no opposition from any con-
siderable number Of people. Lynch
I burg will also close its Office on Sum
day as will Winchester.
Sunday closing is the result of q
move which originated in some West
ern cities, several months ago, and
which is sweeping over all the coun-
try. In few weeks it will probably
extend to every first and second class
office in the United States. 1t has been
recognized for some time that calling
at the postoffice on Sundays was q
matter of habit rather than necessity,
and probably 33 l-3 per cent of Sun
day callers receive no mail.
Under the new arrangement the gen.
eral delivery window will4be open for
one hour on Sunday for the accommo-
dalton of the travelling public. The
one collection from boxes which is
made on that day will likely be done
away with, and no mail will be dis
tributed to local people.
This will not apply of course, to
special delivery letters, which will be
taken out at once IS heretofore. Bust
ness men who desire their mail regu-
larly on Sundays can rent boxes at the
full rate, even though their mail is de-
liversd by carrier on other days of the
week. Any patrons desiring any i'm
portant personal letters delivered to
them ON Sundays can be accommo-
dated upon payment of the prescribed
fee for special delivery service to be
left with the postmaster the day be-
fore.
Some changes might be made in the
schedule here outlined, but the general
idea is as set forth.
