Ice Major Cause Of Injury
good damper or insert, it costs
you money because your heat is
going up the chimney.
•Let the sunshine in. Open
curtains in the daytime to let
heat in, and close them at night
to keep it in. “Sunshine is free,”
said Ollis. “We don’t send out a
bill on that ... yet.”
Tips on saving on water in
clude:
•If your water bill is higher
than normal, have your meter
checked.
•Check the back of com
modes. if water is above the
overflow, it is running 24 hours
a day and over a month’s billing
period will result in several
dollars.
•Repair drips. A drip in the
kitchen sink will cost a dollar a
month.
“If there’s a water leak, you
need to get it fixed, because it
could cost you money," Ollis
said. “If there’s a gas leak, you
need to get it fixed because it
could cost you your life. If a
citizen smells gas, he should call
and keep calling until somebody
gets there.
“We have an excellent electric
system and a top-notch water
system and we’re working to get
a top-notch gas sytem,” Ollis
said. “We’re spending a lot of
money and man hours to update
our gas system.
“Many pieople may ask “what’s
in this for the city?’,” Ollis said of
the meter reading classes. “K we
cut everybody’s usage 15 per
cent, we can sell to 15 percent
more people without having to
pump any extra water or buy ex
tra gas.”
The meter reading classes will
be continued, Ollis said, as long
as the citizens demand them.
“We’re available almost
anytime,” he said.

Ice-covered sidewalks and
steps were the cause of injury to
literally thousands of Postal Ser
vice employeed last year, accor
ding to Postmaster Fred
Weaver.
“More than 16,000 postal
workers across the nation were
hurt when they fell or lost their
balance,” Weaver said, “and ice
and snow was the primary cause
of those accidents.”
“We do everything possible to
deliver the mail regardless of
how bad the weather becomes,”
Weaver said, “but we want to re

and ice on steps and sidewalks

Postmaster Weaver said he
realizes it’s not always easy to
remove ice and snow, but car
riers are not requried to risk per
sonal injury from unusual
hazards to deliver the mail.
To allow a carrier to drive up
to a curbside mailbox to deposit
or collect mail without leaving
his or her vehicle, rural or curb-
side boxes should be kept clear
of snow, vehicles or other
obstructions.
