Junk Mail Causes Post Office Jam in Local Office
Postmaster S C Clark reported heavy holiday mail and large volumes of junk mail clogging the local post office. He noted first class mail is moving, but calendars, circulars, and other third and fourth class ads pile up, with tax forms from the Internal Revenue Service not deemed urgent. Two trips a day would not ease the backlog, as routes are longer and carriers carry heavier loads. Clark said the public shows more approval than criticism for single daily trips.
