City Delivery Route Extensions
Requested By Postmaster Blakely
Postmaster W. E. Blakely has
requested, In a letter to the as
sistant postmaster genera] dated
November 8, a department in
spection with a view to extending
ciiy delivery routes, according to
report by the postmaster this
vieek.
In the letter, Mr. Blakely point
ed out that only very minor addi
tions to established routes had
btn?n made in the past six years
and that the heavy growth of the
city had brought many petitions
for city carrier delivery service.
He asked that the postoffiee de
partment send an inspector here
to investigate the need for route
extensions.
Postmaster Blakely also found
in the recesses of the postoffiee
files an aged letter addressed to
then ? Postmaster S. S. Weir con
cerning the authorization of car
rier delivery in 1928, At that time
the postoffiee here had only one
regular clerk, plus an -auxilisry
?a* ? fJSSitiOL
clerk, in addition to rural route
carriers, Mr. Blakely said.
To<!ay, two city carriers work
full time at the business of get
ting the mall to Kings Mountain
homes, with one substitute carri
er also spending a portion of his
time at this work.
Kyral route service has increas
ed heavily too since 1928. In that
year, Mr. Blakely said, rural car
riers spHt routes averaging 30
miles each and serving only 46
boxes. Today, Rural Carriers Al
j fred F. Collins, Bryan Hord and
Lloyd Phifer have average routes
of 53.7 miles, and serve an aver
age of 467 boxes each.
"The figures show the heavy
growth enjoyed by Kings Moun
tain during the past 24 years,"
Mr. Blakely said.
During the period, receipts at
the postoffice here have grown
to the point that the Kings Moun
tain postoffice is now listed In
first-class status.
