House Seeks Post Office Cuts to Save Millions
The House Appropriations Committee urged the Post Office Department to curtail services and live within reduced funds, proposing a 16 percent cut to its request and advocating zoning of second and third class mail. Star route and Saturday services face reductions, with possible daily star route service cutbacks and reexamination of night city delivery. The move aims to save about five million dollars and avoid a fiscal debacle of 1937 as next year’s budget is debated.
