Guilty pleas to mischief, driving charges
EXETER - Only one case was
hoard when Judge RGE limiter pre-
sided in provincial court in Exeter
on January 24.
Danny A. Hennessey, Exeter,
plcaded•guilty to causing damage of
Icss than S1,000 to the windows of
Zurich Wood Products, and to driv-
ing with a BAC ovcr80.
Hennessey was in- a car which
was stopped by police on Zurich's
main street on July 31, 1988. The
driver failed the ALERT test, as did
1-fennessey when he asked to take
the test.. Police told Hennessey not

Letters
Dear Sir:
I would like to comment on the
upcoming Supermail boxes. Have
people thought of some of the con-
sequences and facts? -
a) Except for those people in the
.core arca you will no longer be
meeting friends and neighbours in
the lobby of the existing Post Of-
fice.
b) Have- business people
thought, that with pet)plc not corn-
ing to downtown to the post office
to pick up -mail it may affect -their
business - I can surely see an in-
crease in convenience stores further
away from downtown.
c) This venture is not saving the
Post Office any money whatsoev-
er.
dj The Exeter Post Office is a
proven money maker for 1987-8K
total revenue S430,338. Total Sal-
ary and November Salary expendi-
tures S245,2(X).00.
c) How much is all this plan-
ning and erecting of Supermail
boxes costing?
f) Approximately 75% of the
boxes presently at the Post Office
will become vacant, collecting dust
after the installation of superboxes.

ticle, headline dated January 14,
1987 "No Superboxes Here". If
you -don't call Mr. Cardiff to ex-
press your views it will no doubt
be assumed you fully agree.
