Show Local P. O. To Remain Open All Day Saturday Reports Postmaster General Advice to the effect that the St. George post office would be kept open on Saturday afternoons was received Tuesday by J. Lawrence Wadsworth, president of the St. George chamber of commerce, from Ambrose O'Connell, first assistant as-sistant Prostmaster General, at Washington, D. C. Asserting that the closing of the St. George post office at noon on Saturdays was working a hardship hard-ship on local businessmen and citizens, the St. George chamber of commerce urged that the office be kept open. When they received no encouragement from the division divis-ion office in Salt Lake City, chamber cham-ber of commerce officials took their problem up with the post office department in Washington, D. C, with the result that they received word from Mr. O'Connell that the matter would be taken up with Postmaster William Brooks to "the end that adequate postal facilities are furnished patrons". |
