Postoffice Allowances For Third Class Offices Outlined
Scott of the Postoffice Department has completed rent light and fuel allowance estimates for third class post offices for the new fiscal year. There are 2043 offices, up from 2033, and the total current allowance runs to 505,080 dollars. Scott allocates about two thirds of the expenditure across office classes by salary, with distinct rent amounts per 1000 to 1900 salary bands, and similar lighting rules. The projected need for rent and fuel light is 412,730 and 88,012 respectively, while next year’s Postmaster General plan sets a higher total of 572,000 dollars though still short for larger offices.
