Facinglosses that could approach $2 billion this fiscal year, the agency iwdbeen consideringcuttingback to five days, eliminating Saturday deliveries. But, after a prelim inary study, the postal Board ofGovernors decided to drop the plan. After reviewing management's primary findings, examining five-da- y delivery, the board decided to cony tinue with existing delivery service," Robert F. R ider, board chairman, said at the groups meeting in Evansville, Indiana, Tuesday. The threat ofacutbock had drawn heavy criticism from Congress, the mailing industry and the public. One member of Congress had called the plan a mistake that could destroy the agency. This is one of the most proposals I've heard in my said at a life, Rep. Bob Barr, hearing in April. If there's one thing the Postal Service mu Id do that would guarantee its demise, its eliminate service onSaturday. The agency has halted most construction and msdeother cuts to ease the hisses caused by the shrinking economy and the sharp increases in the cost of gasoline. Rep.

Sam Parmelee, a vice president of tlie National Rural Letter Carriers Association, said reduced service could cause other problems. The day you dont deliver mail it stacks up, said Parmelee, whose group represents about 100,000 rural and suburban carriers.

According to court documents, the lydas claim that Ballard officials discriminated against them by enforcing a zoning ordinance which they allegedly failed to enforce against other alleged violators. The Lydas further claim that when they requested to see records of the ordinance, they were reftised and were told the designated minutes could not be found and that there were old town ordinances that had never been signed or dated. The Lydas also claim that these same unsigned ordinances were then taken outofthe city offices by the city manager, Carey Wold, and returned, signed. Ballard Mayor Vaughn Parrish, declined to comment on the case. He did say that he and the other defendants were totally surprised by the summons. He referred all questions regarding the case to the lawyer who is representingthe defendants, Craig Bott.
