Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 209, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 August 1912 — Postoffice Will be Closed Tight All Day Tomorrow. [ARTICLE]

Postoffice Will be Closed Tight All Day Tomorrow.

The postoffice will be closed all day tomorrow and the patrons of the office will be compelled to wait until Monday for the mail they could have just as well on Sunday. It is probable that the lobby of the postoffice will be open a portion of the day but as no mail, will be distributed it is hard to see of what benefit this will be to the public. A few days ago Postmaster Murray received orders not to open the postoffice or distribute mail on that day and as he has received no later orders the office will not be opened. At Monticello the postmaster interpreted the order differently than it was here and the lobby will be open all day and mail will be distributed but holders of lock boxes only will be able to get their mail. At Michigan City and many other cities the same rule will be observed and all hut the general public, who have been accustomed to go to the general delivery window and get their mail, will be able to get their mail, as in the past, ——- It is hoped that by another Sunday the patrons of the Rensselaer postoffice will be able to enjoy the same privileges as their neighbors.
