As a result of a resolution passed Monday night at the meeting of the City Council and submitted to the postal authorities for their consideration, McHenry is well on its way toward having delivery of mail. Although there is no definite step in this direction, the resolution shows that a large majority of people favored the city delivery and considered it a progressive move. When this movement was started previously, some objections arose doe to the fact that many people were under the impression that they would have to travel a long distance from one end of town to the other for postal services. Under the present plan, there would be one post office on the east side of McHenry, with a sub-station in West McHenry. The sub-station would operate the same as the present West McHenry post office by giving the west side residents the same services for mailing packages, buying stamps, government bonds, <#tc. Under the delivery system! it b understood that two deliveries would be made each day. There would also be one delivery of parcel post. In addition, if the volume of parcel poet warrants more than one delivery, arrangements will be made for such. The point has also been brought <Mt that there would be increased employ- ,p ment under the new system, since mail carriers would be required. . . -..jJ In the event that this resolution should be put into effect, if there are % . any persons desirous of continuing - j under the present system oi renting ; boxes in the post office^ th*>£ would ^ be permitted to de so.' • .. ^ ' , T „ X vkj
