- Description:
- The postmaster of Watts, Oklahoma is petitioning the Post Office Department to change the mail route from star route to rural route service in order to improve mail delivery for residents. The petition outlines the disadvantages of receiving mail from an out-of-state office and requests that the route be originated from an Oklahoma post office for more efficient mail service. They argue that using a division point like Watts would provide faster delivery, especially for perishable items like day-old chicks. The postmaster urges the congressman to investigate the situation and make the necessary changes.
