Miss Dickinson Plans Protest Over Tucson Post Substation Bid
Miss Ellen M. Dickinson of 438 East Prince plans a Washington protest over losing the postal substation No. 5 contract in Tucson. She bid 50 dollars for operation, but Mrs. Robert Mabry won with 65 dollars. The acting postmaster cited that awards go to the lowest acceptable bidder and declined to comment on the recommendation. Dickinson argues Truman era politics influenced the decision and vows to appeal to the postmaster general. Mabry has operated the station since April and the contract runs July 1 to July 1, 1951, as an extension of a months old agreement.
