In Striking Distance

The Democrats at the next session
viii find themselves in q more power
ful position than previously because
OF increased numbers and thus will
be better able to attempt TO carry out
their plans than in previous years.
Although they have not gone on rec
ord officially. many Democratic mem
hers have expressed opposition to the
proposed tax on gasoline. Some have
argued that the collection of the tax
would cost so much as 10 make it IN
profitable.
The outright repeal of the State
tax law and the enactment Of an en-
tirely new law probably viii not be
attempted. Tt Is certain, however,
that an effort VIII be made 10 shear
the tax board Of some Of its powers.
One Of the questions which has been
discussed is that OF whether the board
should be allowed to retain its appel
l2re powers over bond issues or
whether power over bond issues
should lie entirely with officials Of
taxing units affected. IT is almost
certain that an effort VIII be made
TO take away from the board the
power to fix any tax levies.
In considering road legislation. the
committee drafting bills has consid-
cred the repeal either of the three
mile road law or The county unit
road law. Both are not needed, It Is
held. and the expense Of operating
beth is too great.

List Of Proposals
Some Of the proposals which have
been discussed informally include:
Abolition of the conservation COM
mission. going back to the old system
Of separate departments with the ad-
diuon ofsa department Of public parks
and the limitation of the number Of
employees in each department.
Abolition of the oil inspection de-
partment and the placing of oil in
spectIon duties in the hands Of high
way department district superintend-
ents.
Placing the insurance and banking
departments under the direction Of
The Auditor of State.
Limiting the expenditures u nu-
meroUs other departments.
The department OF conservation was
created under the Goodrich admins
uratiOn. Since that time It has grown
considerably. The 1921 year book
gives it's expenditures for that year
as s219, 447.44 and its receipts. S172,-
1927. The receipts given are excIu-
sive OF appropriations. The depart
ment includes the divisions Of ento-
mology, geology. fish and game and
enCinee~inE-
The banking and insurance depart
ments were originally a part of the
auditors office but were made separ-
ate departments under the Goodrich
administration.
The oil inspection department has
Ions been an eyesore to legislators
bent on reform, but it has also been
n political power. Many have argued
that such a department is Unneces-
sary.

We have at various times devoted
| considerable space in these columns
in an attempt to explain to our read
ers that Bradford was very much
alive and fine place in which to
live. We feel we would be passing
up very important feature in the
business life of our town if we fail
ed to offer bit of information per-
tanning to the workings of Uncle
Sans place of business here, the
post Office, without which of course,
it is safe to say, our communication
with the rest of the world would be
somewhat limited.
Very few people realize the amount
of mail handled at the local office,
and still fewer of our citizens under
stand how rapidly the various kinds
of mail have to be taken care of.
Take for instance. Monday morning.
No mail is received from the south
after midnight on Saturday until
nine o'clock on Monday morning. The
real fireworks usually begin about
nine o'clock, or possibly few min
utes later. on the arrival of the mail
from the south. There is an average
of one ton of the different classes of
mail in this instalment, which ordin-
arily means about 1000 pieces to be
sorted, as we'll as prepare the mail
going south, which averages from
six to fifteen sacks, including as it
does the mail coming in by stage
from West Corinth, Corinth, Waits
River and East Corinth, and which
has to be sorted after reaching
this Office. Now, if we were asked to
do this little stunt we should want
at least the remainder of the day,
but nothing like that goes with
Uncle Sam. The south mail leaves
the office at 9.35, thus giving the
postal clerks just 35 minutes to COM
plete the above mentioned task

scribe can truthfully say they sure
did "step lively" for the 35 minutes

the inside" recently. But the end
was not yet, as in just few minutes
another good sized pile of sacks from
the south bound train was presented
for consideration. At 10.45 every
thing was cleared away, and the sort
ing room looked as neat as woman's
pantry after house cleaning; the
stages to East Corinth, Waits River,
Corinth and West Corinth, and the
two rural carriers had secured their
allotments and gone on their way re-
joicing. 1t might be well to add that
in order to accomplish this work in
the given time it was necessary to
close the general delivery window for
about 80 minutes after the arrival of
the mail from the south, but we also
drop box during this period was
properly taken care of. In fact not
single piece of mail was left un-
touched. The postmaster informed
us that this was really the most
strenuous part of the daily routine,
although the afternoon and evening
mails bring in good excuse for
some more work. but they are usual
ly not so heavy, and the clerks are
not so hard pressed for time. Prac-
tically this same routine is the
schedule on which the office force
puts in the time six days a week,
while about three hours in the morn
ing completes their Sunday labors.
Postmaster Andrew Peters inform
ed us that when he took over the
office about seven years ago, the
mail comprised one pouch
of letters and one pouch of papers,
and that probably ten or a dozen
sacks were handled during the whole
day, while at the present it is not
to handle over a hundred |
sacks in one day. Mr. Peters also
let US know that he does not confine
himself to union hours, as he is on
he job between $50 and 600 o'clock
every morning, and two evenings
Zach week keeps his Office open until
line o'clock.

with a power plant to supply light
and power to yards and shops, will
employ about 100 men in normal
times, and will be equipped to make
all running repairs. Four ear re-
pair tracks will be provided.
The main body of the yard,
which is more than a mile long will
have 20 tracks. In the past freight
trains have been unable to switch
or pass through through the juno
tion while passenger trains were
in the station. The new yard does
away with this difficulty and pro-
vides ample room for doing the
freight work.
Other improvements include a
modern vertical coal handling
plant, at which four locomotives
can coal at one time; steel towers
with clusters of flood lights to IL

for drinking purposes from all ar
