Bill to solve mail problem introduced by Towner
Congressman Towner introduces a bill aimed at standardizing rural routes and pay. It would shift authority from the postmaster general, setting routes for horse drawn vehicles to 24 miles at 1200 dollars per carrier and routes of 50 miles or more for motor vehicles at 1300 dollars annually. The measure restricts auto service to hard surface roads, ensuring Iowa retains shorter horse drawn routes.
