from the Hendersonville superin

Other lcgislalors received similar

could get their mail. The town of
ficials, and police department offer
ed their cooperation in policing the
building, as well as locking up if
necessary.
Postmaster Howell said regula
tions of the department do not al
low anyone except employees of
the office to have a key, which i t0 ut tne money into books on
meant the police could only pull a
door shut with a set spring lock,
unless the department ammends
the regulation
Postmaster Howell said keeping
the lobby open until 10 o'clock
would be a saving to the govern
ment, as a janitor must now re
main two hours after the office
closes in order to close the lobby.
"This two hours overtime would
be saved," he said, "and the only
other cost ould be the extra lights
burned."
Representative Redden in dis
cussing the matter with the officials
in Washington, said in part: "It
has been suggested that the office
be left open during the summer
months, since Waynesville is a
tourist center for summer visitors,
but this would not be satisfactory,
as the inconvenience would still
exist to the residents. I am sure it
can be worked out to the entire
satisfaction of all to let this office
remain open until 10 p.m. each day
without any inconvenience what
ever to the post office officials of
Waynesville."
Postmaster Howell received a
copy of Mr. Redden s letter to
the department, and said: "I have
said so before, and repeat, I am
not going to do it, and will not ask
any employee to come back and
lock the front doors at ten o'clock
at night. If the department wants
the lobby left open until that hour
they can put a spring lock on the
door, and turn the responsibility
over to the police or anyone else.
I am not taking the responsibility
for closing the doors. If the de
partment wants to( they can give
the police or anyone else a key and
keep the present locks on the lobby
door. That is for them to decide.
