Postmaster General Benjamin Bailor urged the Postal Service Board to establish a 13 cent citizen rate for personal letters even if business rates rise to 16 or 17 cents next spring. He noted potential savings from ending Saturday deliveries and said the rate changes await the Postal Rate Commission review. Bailor stressed public interest and warned a 3 cent increase would burden many users while defending ongoing cost cutting and reassignment efforts.

Valley fire readiness lacking hydrants across Cedar County
Cedar City Fire Inspector David Bentely reports only four of 28 subdivisions in Tron County have hydrants. Tests show water supply varies from 110 to 259 gallons per minute, with power failures disabling all systems. The department operates three trucks totaling 2,000 gallons, enough for about 19 minutes. Summer allows irrigation water, winter lacks sources. Bentely urges the Iron County Board to require above ground storage, a reserve automatic well, hydrants within 500 feet, and subdivision buyable hoses while noting frequent home losses and high insurance costs due to inadequate protection.
