Congressman Harris B. Nc
Dowell, Jr, (D-Del.) has am
nounced that the General Services
Administration has approved the
! installation of air conditioning
equipment in the Lewes Post Of
! flee.
Congressman Mcdowell urged
| the Regional Office of the Post Of
flee Dept, Philadelphia, to provide
air conditioning at the Lewes Post
Office. He also urged that lighting
be improved in the postal area, and
that the heating system be con-
verted from coal to oil.
Congressman Mcdowell said:
81 am pleased that the Lewes
Post Office is being modernized
and up-graded
This will provide much better
service for patrons of the post Of
flee.
A major factor will be the i'm
proved morale of the postal en-
ployees themselves.
The citizens of Lewes are just
as entitled to safe and efficient
postal service as the employees of
larger cities.
1t takes a long time to move
from the suggestion to the, work
stage, but l am confident the peo-
pie of Lewes will be happy and
satisfied with the results.
ann happy to have been able to
be of assistance in this matter"
