New Tuppers Plains Postmaster To Be Named by Democrat Board
U S Post Office plans to remove postmistress Mrs W E Matlack at Tuppers Plains for unsatisfactory service. Democratic Central Committee endorsed G R MacPherson as acting postmaster pending permanent appointment urged by Senator Robert Bulkley. MacPherson, a local garageman WWV, is likely to receive the permanent post, with Matlack’s son in law J W Arbaugh opposing. The office pays about 802 dollars yearly, with poultry shipments boosting receipts to justify a higher post.
