Letter: Make mail accessible

By James H. Barhitte, Ridgefield
Published: July 15, 2018, 6:00am

I find it outrageous that I have to pay over $100 for a post office box to get my mail, when people in many other places get it free. In other places I’ve lived, I always had mail delivered to my house. But where I’m living currently, delivery is not an option. I travel three-quarters of a mile to get my mail. Something should be done about this!
