Randle Highlands Protest Minneosta Ave Post Office Move
Randle Highlands Citizens' Association protested the proposed relocation of the Minneosta Avenue and Nicholson Street Southeast branch post office at a Monday meeting in Randle Highlands Church. They argued retrenchment should target other costs, noting the branch salary of 150 dollars yearly and community service outweigh the small expense. The group instructed its executive to discuss with the postmaster and also stated support for earned pensions for those injured or justly entitled, while opposing blanket pensioning. President U A Clark presided.
