Congressman Stephens Bids to Buy and Sell Postoffice Boxes
Our congressman introduces a bill requiring the government to furnish postoffice boxes to citizens who pay the first cost. The government would buy boxes now in use and resell at first cost, allowing patrons to trade freely. The measure aims to end postmasters owning and renting the boxes at high rates. Judge Ocie Speer carried Hood and Brath counties in last Saturday’s primaries, with Montgomery second, signaling an inside track.
