Undoubtedly the time will very soon arrive
when a new post Office building will have to
be erected in this city The business of the
office is certainly increasing, and the present
quarters are altogether too contracted, both
for the postmaster and his assistants, and
those who wait at the boxes and the delivery.
No better location could be selected than the
present one, but the expansion of the business
creates want which can only be supplied by
the erection, at the expense of the general
government, of a building especially adapted
to the purpose. Let it be of such a character
that it will compare fayorably with the best
specimens of architecture and help to beautify
and adorn our city. To give an idea of only
one branch of the business of the Office in this
city, we will state that the sale of stamps
alone the past year amounted to over $50 900.
An immense amount of mail matter is re-
ceived and sent off every day, and extra
working force is required to carry on the
business Of the Office. - = ~ - "a ~ o.
