Looking for a different collector's item at a reasonable price? How about a somewhat old-fashioned post office box with a simple combination lock, priced at only $5?
They are available at the new post office building in Hatch, constructed to serve the town's small population of 100-plus residents. Postmaster Ivadell Yardley said the old combination boxes have been replaced with new lock boxes.As an added convenience, the boxes are in a separate part of the post office from the service area so patrons can get into their boxes after regular service hours.
The new building is on Main Street and is seven times larger than the previous one. It provides easy access for the handicapped, has auxiliary power for lights in case regular electrical service is temporarily lost, is equipped with security doors and has bars on the windows. The project includes a large parking lot.
