Rural Route Threat Highlights Road Repair Pressure
The Memphis News-Scimitar reports a post office threat to abolish about thirty rural free delivery routes in Shelby County unless the county court funds road and bridge repairs. Assistant Postmaster Sol Lewies delivered the ultimatum to James H. Barret, urging a reply by December 5, with Washington pushing for safe year round access. The piece notes prior warnings and disruptions during rainy periods as carriers protest poor infrastructure.
