government Re-Advertises for Carriers
on Local Star Routes.
The post office department has turn.
ed down all bids made on the three star
routes heading from the GrangevilIe
office and has re-advertised, the bids
under the new bidding to be on file
with the department at Washington not
later than March 81. No reason is given
the government simply stating that the
bids were unsatisfactory.
The three routes leading from the
Grangeville office are the Grangeville-
Mt. Idaho route, Grangeville- Clearwater
and the Grangeville- Meadows. The
first named route serves the Mt Idaho
office and is three miles in length
The bid calls for thrice "a week SER
vice, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
The Clearwater contract calls for
seven day week service and the Off
cial route requires travelling over IS
miles. The town of Harpster is served
by this line. The Grangeville- New
Meadows line is 80 and one half miles
long and six-days week schedule is
maintained up the Salmon river to the
railroad on the south. On account of
considerable discussion over the parcel
post and the increased weight some who
would otherwise have submitted bids
have been frightened off. A careful
analysis of the parcel post as it has
effected these lines will indicate there
is not as much to the bugaboo as some
have been led to believe, and no doubt
the prospective bidder can take it for
granted that the policy of the govern
ment is to pay just and fair compen-
sation for labor performed.
