16 Out of 70 Vote No
Inspector Gives Suggestions
Concerning Mail Deliveries
By ALLEN PENGELLY
Battalion Assistant City Editor
Suggestions for securing resi
dential mail delivery service for
College Station were offered to
Dr. T. O. Walton, postmaster, by
the postal inspector who recently
conducted a survey to determine if
the city is eligible for home deliv
ery.
This report, prior to being sent
to the Postal Department in Wash
ington, suggested that fallen street
markers be replaced, that a sur
vey be taken throughout the areas
to receive the home deliveries to
determine whether or not the citi
zens wanted to have the service,
and that a new entrance to the post
office at the North Gate be con
structed or the old one be kept
open at all times.
Rapid Reply Requested
The College Station Chamber of
Commerce has mailed out question
naires to the residents to determine
how many would be in favor of
home delivery seiwice. An early
count of cards returned showed
that out of 70 people, only 16 were
against the delivery to the home.
President of the Chamber of
Commerce Joe Sorrels issued a plea
for all residents to return their
questionnaire as soon as possible
so the report my be turned in to
Postmaster Walton.
“Should the city receive the home
delivery service, the following areas
would be entitled to this aid: North

Baylor University.
Harold Edwing Bates, junior
from College Station, and Ann
Elizabeth Chambless, sophomore
from Bryan, are among the 60
men and 60 women to be included

Gate, College View, College Hills,
Oakwood, and Southside,” said
Walton.
To put the proposed service into
action, the post office would need
to hire two substitute carriers and
one reserve carrier. These men will
be selected from a register contain
ing the names of qualified personel.
One Daily Delivery
There would be one residential
mail delivery per day beginning at
8 aim. with an additional delivery
made to the business sections of
the 1 city in the afternoon. Because
the mailmen are required by law to
carry only 25 pounds of mail at one
time, collection boxes _ would be
placed in strategic sections of the
city to facilitate speedier pick-up
serice.
The postmen would carry out the
full duties of a regular rural car
rier in that they would sell stamps
and cany postal money order ap
plications. Residents would com
plete the forms and. return them to
the postman along with the money
and will receive their receipts the
following day.
“Residents will have to comply
with postal regulations before they
will be allowed to have the delivery
service,” said Walton further.
“Regulations require that each!
house must be properly numbered
and that regulation mail boxes
must be erected in the front of
each residence to receive delivery,”
he continued.

Rogers.
