CRIPPLING OF P. O. SERVICE MOVE TO DISCREDIT HARDING What is claimed to be a direct attempt to discredit the Harding administration, a considerable cut by congress in the Federal appropriation for the Postoffice Department, is having its effect in curtailing service not only in Anaheim, but all over the south; it was declared here today. An alheim is now receiving one or two deliveries in the business section instead of two or three, according to the size of the mail only one in residential sections, and today it was announced that no more overtime will be permitted. Santa Ana is in the same predicament. Reports of the dropping of carriers or giving up of plans for necessary increases are being heard every other day. Anaheim, in spite of its pressing needs due to the approximate doubling of its population, has had to wait two years-for two more carriers and an extra clerk, and it is uncertain even now that the city will have filled its second requisition for the added help. On March 4th Postmaster General Habert Work became Secretary of the Department of the Interior and Ex-Senator Harry S. New of Indiana succeeded him. Today Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn announced that on April 1 a fee of 20 cents would be charged on first class registered mail valued at more than $50 and less than $100 and the recovery in case of loss raised from a maximum of $50 to a maximum of $100. Up to a value of $50 the fee always has been a flat 10 cents. With the distinction in fees and values the question of contents enters, and if a loss is suffered the loser must make affidavit of value. Parcels post and second and third class mail cannot be registered and such values recovered. The Orange Postoffice reported today that service had been cut to the minimum, both inside and outside the office. Plans for extensions because of population growth have had to be abandoned. No more overtime is permitted. Deliveries in the business section have not had to be cut so much as in Anaheim, because the same carrier who covers it covers part of the residential district. Postmaster Overshiner of Santa Ana said that overtime for carriers was ended on March 1 and for clerks yesterday. Deliveries in the business section often are cut to two per day; instead of the previous three. Residential sections receive only one mail per day. The Rural Free Delivery service is not yet affected. FULLERTON POSTAL LINCOLN, eNb.
