Report suggests cut in postal deliveries WASHINGTON (AP) — Mail deliveries should be cut back to five days a week and taxpayer subsidies of the Postal Service increased, but even these actions won't keep postal rates from soaring, a federal study commission said yesterday. The commission said the first-class rate could be "held" to around 22 cents by 1985 if reduced deliveries and higher taxpayer subsidies were adopted. The rate was 6 cents in 1971 when the Postal Service was established. The Commission on Postal Service said mailing a first class letter would cost about 28 cents by 1985 if mail service continues on its present course. delivering the mail would go up rapidly no matter what the Postal Service did. THE REPORT is expected to set off a debate in Congress on what to do about the defect-ridden Postal Service. There has been considerable opposition in Congress to previous suggestions to eliminate Saturday delivery or to increase subsidies. The commission told Congress and President Jimmy Carter that the cost of The commission said public opinion surveys that it had ordered found "that the public is willing to forego some postal services and increase its demands and limit congressional approval." The commission found 'the public generally satisfied with the Postal Service but concluded that the service faced a crisis of future' if it continued on its present course. Work to begin in summer on satellite union tunnel A 400-foot-long tunnel carrying heating pipes from the new University of Kansas School of Law building to the proposed satellite student union will be laid this summer, even though construction on the union will not have begun. Keith Lawton, director of facilities planning for the Lawrence campus, said last week that about half the length of the tunnel would be under law school grounds and that the other section would be under satellite union grounds. The law building, located northwest of Allen Field House, is scheduled for completion June 7. Construction on the satellite union, which will be just south of the law building, will start in late summer or early fall. An earlier construction plan called for digging the tunnel in two sections. The section under law school grounds would be excavated and the construction of the law school was under way. built when construction started on the satellite union. The remaining section would have been Instead, KU's office of facilities planning decided to dig the entire tunnel at once. Lawton said construction would be easier to handle under one contract. In the next few weeks, Lawton said, the service drive at the law school site will get a vehicle from the construction team, making it usable until construction is complete, relatively inexpensive covering will be torn up where the tunnel crosses the. The entire drive will remain in the concrete asphalt when the tunnel is finished. Original plans for tearing up the road during tunnel construction called for tearing out both layers of covering. Because of new terms in the contract, KU will get a credit voucher for not putting the surface on now. "We decided to take a rebate on the top coat for now," Lawton said. "We're working it out in a different manner, but it'll accomplish the same things."
