 1862 59,783

The big drop in revenues shown in 1859 needs explaining, Post master Lamme said. In that year postage rates were raised, but such increases in sales are not allowed in computing the status of a post office. After the raise the depart ment began allowing 82 per cent of sales only, so while part of the drop would be due to economic conditions, including reductions in forces at the adjacent naval sta tion, the postmaster believes the 82-per-cent formula is unrealistic for the Kodiak office and that part of the drop is due to that factor.
 All the figures above from 1859 on are adjusted figures to deduct the increase due to the rate raise. For instance, actual sales and box rents for the Kodiak office in 1862 were $73,8O6, but this figure can not be used due to the formula. A new formula will go into effect for the new increase this year, the postmaster said. The local office must maintain sales of $40,OO0 an nually to keep its first class status and Kodiak is one of the six first class offices in Alaska, he added.

and stated that the increased
traffic and school load would
create serious problems for the

Talks Strive
For Solution
On AB&W

AB&W Transit Co. officials
and union spokesman were
meeting today to attempt to
resolve the wage dispute that
has deadlocked the signing of
a new labor contract.
The union members have
voted overwhelmingly to au-
thorize a strike if their wage
demands are not met or if the
company refuses to submit the
issue to binding arbitration.
Martin j. Bond, president of
local Division 1871 of the Anal
gamated Transit Union, today
said of the prospects for quick
settlement: Frankly, it doesn't
look good"
Among the negotiators is
John NJ. Elliott, international
president of the transit union,
who entered the negotiations to
help work out the differences.
The Alexandria City Council
last night offered its services to
avert the threatened bus strike,
which, the council said, would
endanger the livelihood OF
numerous Alexandria citizens.
Mayor Frank E. Mann said
5000 Alexandria children ride
the buses to school and a strike
would cause a tremendous i'm
pact on our school system"
The union a week ago re-
| jected a company offer of a
25-cent hourly wage increase,
additional fringe benefits and
a cost-of-living escalator clause
in a three-year contract.

ing, but my retirement papers
are already in" said Mr.. Kan
ten.
| Discussing the shift in the
main responsibility for snow
removal from the sanitation
division to the Highway De-
partment, Mr.. Xanten said that
he recommended such a change
as long ago as 1919.
He explained that in the
majority of cities snow fighting
is the responsibility of the
highway or street department.
Most Of the money for snow
removal here comes from the
Highway Department budget,
he added.
Recalls Worst Storm
Mr.. Xanten, who started
working for the District as a
payroll typist when he was 10,
said that 1T really gives me a
sad feeling to think about
leaving"
Asked what has been the
most difficult part of his job,
Mr.. Xanten replied unhesitat-
tngly snow removal"
He said that the worst snow
storm in recent years hit here
in January, 1861, on the night
before the presidential inau-
guration.
Il will never forget that night
If I live to be 1000" said Mr..
Xanten.
Hanging on the wall above
his desk is a framed letter from
President Kennedy expressing
appreciation for the work Mr..
Xanten and his men did in
clearing the city's streets for
the Inauguration.
Mr.. Xanten, who has been
superintendent of the SANTA
ton division since 1896, said
that "the loyalty Of the people
who worked for me for all these
years stands out like a beacon
light.
We've had no disruption of
our refuse collection service
during this time, even during
the war years, although some
times we had to use ingenious
to keep going"
The city's four incinerators
and a refuse transfer station
were built during Mr.. Xanten's
term as sanitation superintend-
ent. He received an engineer
ing award at an American Pub
lie Works Association meeting
in 1851 for the originality of
the refuse transfer station at
New Jersey avenue and K
streets Sc. which is specially
to prevent offensive
odors from escaping.

a political dispute, made the
suggestion in a congratulatory
letter to newly elected super
visors. In the letter, which
Mr.. Newman said he sent the
day after elections, he invited
the new supervisors to come to
the school board meeting to-
morrow night.
Mr.. Newman said yesterday
that, although he would like
to continue to serve, he Speci-
fically omitted any sug-
geStion of his own reappoint-
ment in his letter to his own
incoming supervisor, Demo-
crat Joseph Alexander of Lee
district. Mr.. Newman was
appointed by Republican Super
visor William H. Moss, who re-
tires in January.
Mr.. Newman said he asked
the supervisors to retain the
present board Tor the sake of
continuity for the school
board" which he said is parti-
cularly important because a
new budget comes up in Janu-
airy when the new supervisors
take office.
Mr.. Newman said he wrote
the letter as part of his pre-
rogative as chairman, but that
he had subsequently talked to
the other members and mo
ones made any objections"
However, the Falls Church
School Board member, Mrs.
Sarah Lahr, said she was
stunned" when Mr.. Newman
told her Of his letter yesterday.
Mrs. Lahr said she made no
objection then because the plea
for continuity had already been
made. But this is something
Il would not have DONE" she
said.
Calls Plea Proper
John L. Beerman. recently
elected Democratic supervisor
from the Providence district,
said he feels there is no i'm
propriety in Mr.. Newman'S plea
to retain the school board
which Mr.. Newman heads.
John D. K. Smoot, hoolI
board member from Dranesville
district, died today he thinks
the supervisors have an excel
lent opportunity" now to begin
an informal rotation of school
board terms.
He suggested that two new
school board members could be
appointed this year and two
next year, which would provide
continuity of experience.
His idea corresponds with an
issue in the last election cam
paign-that of giving school
board members tenure or
establishing staggered terms
or both.
Planned to Write

intended to write Supervisor
elect Beorman of Providence
