ANOTHER ECONOMY MOVE
Postal Service In
Dunn Is Cut Again
Latest econqpijp move by the Post Office Department
to affect Dunn Mins that 8 p. m. will b$ the late limit

this probably will catse greater in
convenience to his staff than to
Post Office patrons “not
too much'' mail wait, coming in
between 8 and 9 p.m^jp^,;
But he expects he will have to
increase his night staff from two
to three persons in order to have
mail processed and ready to leave
In time to meet the kdbedvile.
The change came about because
the ‘ highway post office" Which
had been running from Ritdgnond
to Sanford (via DunJ» now, runs
from Richmond to Fayetteville. la
stead of being at 3:30 pm., its*
stop here is now 7Jop.m.
“A lot of other places besides
Dunn are effected," sold Wade.
“The Star Route from Ralelib to
Fayetteville is cut out altogether
and there are a lot of other chang
es."
ECONOMY MOVE
This is one of a series of economy
moves made by the posO-office
since 1960 when the succeeding
postmasters-general began to boil
about the yearly deficit in their
operations.
Most dramatic change fras the
shift frqm two-a-day dehyfcries in
residential districts to the present
one-aiday. Criticism of, JR* move
has got abated.4nd therals D*ri -

The present postmaster-general.
Arthur Summerfield like his pre
decessors is seeking to secure legis
lation which would authorize rais
ing regular mail to four cents, air
mail to seven cents curing the
deficit problem that way. ! “
Wade said today. “You see, nine
ty percent of the post-office ex
penses are in salaries and those
are set by Congress.. The depart- ‘
ment cant do much about that
About the only way they can save
money is to make cuts in service.’’ ,
The most serious local change of
recent date was when the mail
messenger service between the
post-office and depot was con
tinued at nights. That caused more
trouble than the present economy
move is likely to, said Wade.
