de” by Warren Goodrich POST OFFICE DEFICIT LAST YEAR COSTS LOCAL CITIZEN $10,677.88 For tax payers of Nevada City the $558,000,000 deficit of the post office department in the federal fiscal year which ended June 30 will mean approximately $10,677.88 in terms of general federal taxes, acording to a study released here by the Council of State Chambers of Commerce. The county’s share is $92,851.20. . The study explained that this . . figure is Nevada City’s propor. tion of California’s ‘share: of the . overall loss sustained by taxpayers ‘through’ the-:failure ‘of the federal. government ‘to run the post office within its income. , The council’s study showed that except for a few scattered years the post office has. been doing -business at a loss for “60 years. Since. the end of. World War II these losses‘Were found to total $1,758,044,299: which means roughly an extra’ tax of $12 for every man, woman and child’in the U. S.

General Donaldson in April or. dered such economies as a re-. duction from two to one in the’ number of mail deliveries daily in residential areas, fewer mail box collections, etc. But the; House of Representatives recent. ly voted against these economies. . Whether they will stick. remains . up to the Senate. In addition to this. 28-million dollay saving, the’ study urged! theHoover commission recom. mendations for putting the post office on a business-like basis be -carried out. Finding the post office and the Bell Telephone system comparable in size, numberéof employees and the nature of their services (communications), the study observed that the private enterprise operated at a profit and paid federal, state and local taxes last year totaling $346,144,000. It also pointed out that the Bell system acted as tax-gatherer for the government, collecting from subscribers and other users $445,000,000 last year in federal excise taxes on telephone calls.
