We feel that the deterioration which has occurred in mall service In Southeastern Utah Is a direct result of the discontinuance of the railway Post Office service on two trains operating between Salt Lake City and Grand Junction, Colorado," Sen. Bennett and Rep. Burton said. We have heard a great many reports from postal patrons who have been seriously inconvenienced by the delay in receipt and forwarding of mail from Monticello, Blanding and other communities In Southeastern Utah," they said. The truck service which was substituted when the railway Post Office trains were discontinued is much slower and has resulted in late deliveries to businessmen as well as private patrons."
