Tacotna Commercial
Club Petitions for a
Money Order Office
Tacotna, April [5.—At a meeting of
the Tacotna Commercial Club, last
evening, the following petition, asking
that the Tacotna postoffice be made a
money order office, was given unani
mous indorseraen t,and is being sigoed
by residents of the district generally:
Tacotna, April 14, 1922.
To the Third Assistant Postmaster
General, Washington, D. C.
We. the undersigned residents and
p atrons of the Tacotna postoffice, here
with petit hat you grant and make
the Tacotna postoffioe a money order
office at your earliest convenience.
We deem it Deeessary at this time
for you to grant us this service, on ac
count of the growing population using
this office, and, from all indications,
the future promises a greater patron
age of a money order service, on ac
count of the manv new enterprises
starting in this section, one new dredge
being started last sumine", with two
more now on the ground and to be in
operation this season; also the Gov
ernment, road construction work which
was started last summer, and expected
to continue through this seen m for
several years to come, with a general
revival of mining activity in general.
In view of the fact that we have to
travel eighteen miles by winter trail,
or sixty miles by water during the
summer, to McGrath, or twenty-two
miles to Ophir, to secure money orders,
much to the inconvenience and expense
of the patrons of this office, there being
no bank or any way of sending money
out, especially of uneven denomina
tions, without making a trip to one of
the above-named offices.
Trusting that we will receive the ex
tended service as asked for, the above
being endorsed and passed on by the
Tacotna Commercial Club.
(Signed) J. Esiteman, President.
