Enlarging The Postoffice

The carpenters have been at work for the past day or two clearing out the stand located in the postoffice and throwing the whole first floor into the postoffice proper, which has been badly crowded both in the corridor and on the inside. The partition at the end of the east corrider will be extended to the east wall of the building and two more carriers' windows placed in it to make room for the two new carriers. The long line of No. i, will, when the improvement is completed, be placed in the east corrider, which will then be about twice as wide as it is now. This will relieve the crush near the stamp window which has made it difficult for citiz.ens, and more especially for the ladies, to purchase stamps in the evening. Mr. J. E. Beal, the owner of the postoffice, building very kindly and willingly ordered the improvement made when the necessity of it was brought to his attention. It will undoubtedly be a very pleasing change to the public, who have long been obliged to submit to much crowding at the office.
