Show REDUCTION IN RENTS. Postmaatar Itrntoa hat AncomplUhail Much for flox Itantara. On and after July 1st next there will be a big reduction in the price of post-ollice post-ollice ooxes. The small boxes will rent for 50 cents per quarter and the large boxes for $1 per quarter. Postmaster Post-master lionton has secured this reduction reduc-tion from the department after repeat-ti repeat-ti efforts and is pleased to make the news public. Ily this act he has shown himself to bo nnsellish and to be working work-ing for the benefits of tho patrons of the oflico. In the reduction of tho box rents the revenue of the ollice will be reduced about $1:200 per year and a clever slice will be chopped off Mr. Benton's salary. This of itself should convince the public that Mr. Kenton is endeavoring to afford the best service at tbe lowest possible rate. As for the old key redemption act there will be more on this subject, it is understood, later in the month. At present about 1000 boxes have been rented, the remaining re-maining 500 going off at the rale of ten or fifteen per day. |
