DRIVE - IN CHUTE

Members of the council were unanimous in a resolution to send a letter to the Post Office to have a drive-in mail chute in- sorted on the Richmond Street side of the building.

The new chute would enable persons to deposit their mail without leaving their vehicles. thus relieving the parking pro- blcm in front of the Post Office.

Arthur Wright noted that the telephone Company was also lflyrfl public property for the purpo e of gain. with its telephone booths on var- ious corners of the city.
