Abuse of Roads by Heavy Mall Trucks
In Washington DC a clerk directs mall service to use four ton trucks though two ton trucks suffice. Heavy trucks tear up roads in spring and rain, causing delays and damage. Four trucks sit on a hill, with two stuck in mud and two blocked. The Duchesne Record criticizes departmental orders and urges common sense to prevent mail delays and road damage.
