OFFICE RELEGATES
TO THIRD CLASS
Local Office Drops From
Second To Third Glass
Clerical Allowances
Decreased

Postmaster Alva White Is author
ity for the statement that the re-
ceipts of the Mountain Home post
Office fell short during the year 1924
to such an extent that the govern
ment has ordered a reduction in the
classification from second to third
class The classification OF a post
Office is based on the stamp sales for
the preceding year and inasmuch
as last year was one of the hardest
that this community has ever exper-
fenced the post Office sales were like
wise reduced. In order to maintain
the standard of a second class Office
the stamp sales must equal $4,000
and the local office fell short in the
amount of approximately $1,000.
This step on the part Of the govern
ment Is indeed regrettable owing to
the fact that very likely the sales
for the present year will hold up to
the mark Of $4,000 thereby putting
the Office back into its present clas-
sification.
In addition to the reduction of the
classification there is also an ac-
companying reduction in the post
masters salary and his clerical al
lowance. The allowance for clerical
help will be reduced from 1920 at
the present time to s1S52 per an
mum. This will necessarily cut out
one clerk in the Office In addition
it will mean that clerical help viii
not be under civil service rules and
if the present clerks desire to re-
tain their civil service classification
they will have to secure transfers to
other Offices.
Owing to the fact that there are
now four star routes running out of
the local office, to Bruneau, Grand
View, Thurman and Rocky Bar, a
vast amount of parcel post and mail
is daily handled and progress with
the reduction of the clerical allow
snce will necessarily have to be ham
pered.
