Show Support Js Needed - - Mail Service Might Improve A few weeks ago the Vernal Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation co-operation with the postmaste; at Vernal began a movement toward improving their mail service . . . They wanted to have east-bound mail, that, eomes out of Salt Lake City delivered de-livered in their city before 10 30 a. m., the approximate time it arrives there now. . Someone started the ball rolling roll-ing in the post office department, depart-ment, and today there is a possibility pos-sibility that the Uintah Basin might soon be enjoying mail ser. vice on a par with any other rural area over 100 miles from Salt Lake not served by a railroad. rail-road. The supervisor of mails m the Salt Lake office, who is directly di-rectly over the mail in this area I has recommended a proposa that, if okeh'd by the higher-ups, in the department, would give us two mail trucks going west daily. It would get Vernal's first-class mail -to them- by 6 a m and make west-bound mail destined for delivery in Salt Lake available for early morning morn-ing distribution. - - Recently William Linck, present pres-ent mail carrier for the Basin, qiened a contract- with the Des tret News and Salt Lake Tribune Tri-bune to deliver their papers daily a service formerly rendered ren-dered by Wycoff Stages Inc , of Salt Lake City. He has a truck that arrives : in- Vernal about 6 a. m. daily, which could carry the first class mail from Salt Lake. That same truck would return in the early afternoon, after-noon, picking up first class mail along the way and have it delivered de-livered in Salt Lake before 6 a m the next morning. This, according to an investigation, would meet train service, thus insuring your first class mail , would reach its destination almost al-most 24 hours earlier than it does now. All that has been done on the new service has come from the request Vernal made that mail arrive in "their city about 8:30 or 9 o'clock the time it gets in Roosevelt now. Mr. Linck. who is the mayor of Mvton, has made an offer to the post office repartment, and has not been an instigator of the idea except ex-cept as a citizen of the Basin. Help is needed from the various var-ious service clubs, city Officials, and interested people who would like to have this dream of better mail service realized. The Roosevelt Roos-evelt Chamber of Commerce, Ki-wanis Ki-wanis and Lions, as well as ths mayor and city officials and political po-litical leaders, have been asked, or will be in the near future, to send on resolutions asking for the new service. |
