GENERAL POST-OFFICE, ST. MARTIN'S-LE-GRAND.—
The scaffolding has now been all cleared away from
the central entrance area, the five horizontal lights
which have been fixed in the roof having
effected the desired purpose of throwing an ample
volume of light into the interior. On the right on enter-
ing further alterations and improvements are in progress,
in order to move the poste restanfe, and other depart
ments, to that side, and reserve the left hand portion for
general posting purposes. It ha long been felt that the
inquiry windows were much too great a distance from
the floor ; this inconvenience will be rectified in the im-
provements in progress, for all business in ' which per-
sonal transactions will be done are intended to take
place at counters of a convenient height, such as them.
