Postmaster Denies Government Lease Overcharges
Mr. Van Cottis denies charges that property owned by Reglies politicians was leased to the government at high rates. He claims no inquiry is needed and asserts rents are fair, noting a station at Fourth Street and High Street leased at about $6,500 per year for ten years.
