Rural Free Delivery Report Details Costs and Safety Gaps
The annual Postoffice Department report outlines rural free mail delivery expansion, costs rising by 24 million over prior year, and plans for more routes. It notes 2,000 rural carriers, stamp value, and salaries, while warning lax penalties for dangerous items in mails and praising attempted safety measures. A separate cemetery policy in Owosso restricts Sunday funerals unless necessary, with a $5 sexton fee. Lincoln quotes and local anecdotes appear amid varied notices and personal lawsuits.
