Box on post is unnecessary

To the editor:
The local post office is trying to create an all-driving route in our city.
Last year I erected a rural mailbox on a post that was across the street from the house at the demand of the post office. So did the lady to the west of my house, only to have both boxes destroyed by a driver of a car — not an accident, but as an act of vandalism.
I talked to the postmaster about not wanting to put the boxes back up and requested the regulations or where to locate them more than six months ago without any reply. She could care less about the cost of the mailbox and post; too bad, so sad.
The postmaster left a note in the house mailbox asking if I would please put up the post and box so the mailman doesn’t have to get out of the truck to deliver the mail. No answer to where does it say that I must have a mailbox on a post.
Please contact your postmaster and demand a copy of the regulation, if it exists, or Web location of the information that forces you to spend the $100 to $300 for a mailbox that you don’t need.
Thank you,
