Department Will Discuss
Closing II Post Offices

said that the United States Post
Office department has agreed to
discuss With him the diScontin-
uance of these offices before final
action is taken.
Abbitt recently protested to the
department against what he call
ed "Whosale closing of rural post
offices without proper regard to
the service needs of these people. .
Abbitt has received reports
from the department recommend
ing the closing Of sEarls and Mat
toax post offices in Amelia
county: Guinea Mills, Sunny Side
and Tamworth post offices in
Cumberland county and Fine
Creek Mills, jefferson, Michaux,
Belona, Macon and Trenholm in
PoWhatan county.
Il therefore believe that it is
incumbent upon the post office
department not only to make
surveys to see how much money
is being spent for salaries and
compare these with receipts for
the latest years and contend that
the difference in the two figures
is a basis for eliminating our
smaller offices. but that the
people to be served should be
heard from to determine not only
the sentiment within the local
community but the service needs
1t is absolutely ridiculous to base
any decision on t he figures
alone. Abbitt said
Abbitt said he plans to make a
strong case for these offices in
the Fourth District which l be-
lieve definitely are essential to
the proper distribution of mail. 1t
Is theoretically possible to elimi
nate Just about all of the rural
pos. offices by extending star
route and rural route service. but
by the same token an over
extension of these routes will
merely serve to delay mails and
be an additional cost to the de-
partment. | feel that all these
matters should be taken fully
INTO consideration as wen rs the
views OF the people to be served
before any final decision IS
made.
