'a Neighborhood Mail Boxes Will Be Coming Soon Neighborhood Delivery and Collection Units (NBlTs) are all in place in Kanab, but service will not begin for several weeks, according to Postmaster Theo McAllister. Cement pads have all been poured and the posts and boxes installed at strategic comers around town where in the future most Kanab residents will pick up their mail. This will be a new experience in the life of Kanabites, and as Ernest Kirby reminisces in his column "Emestly Yours" on page 2 of this weeks Southern Utah News it may eliminate "the most exciting thing that happens" to many of us each day. McAllister says as far as the installation of the boxes goes all has been completed on schedule. They were to have been constructed and ready for use by April 1, which they are. However, there is still some time necessary to get all the paper work ironed out along with assigning boxes, making sure proper addressed are assigned and etc. "We are waiting for people from the Salt Lake City office to in readiness.

Before that time notices will be placed in the boxes letting the residents know what their addresses will be.
