In Montpelier a dispute with Uncle Sam over Star route service follows a fall bid by Martin Winter after he spent over 4000 dollars preparing for the Montpelier to Afton line. Winter sought reconsideration as new bids were invited but Washington upheld the existing contract. He faces debt and a new bid, while critics blame the Post Office for arbitrary action and warn of government agents pressuring independent builders.
