Postmaster Wise received telegram
from the Postoffice Department at Wash
ington this afternoon telling him to re-
move the Office to the new building of the
Bellaire Goblet Company on Union street
the first OF Of July next. This is the end
of the postoffice squabble recently referred
to in this paper, when it was predicted that
the result would be just as it is, but the
Belmont street people are very indignant
and threaten to refuse to rent boxes in the
office, and to attempt to influence the Post
office Department at Washington. With
out any positive knowledge in the matter,
We believe Belmont street lost the post
Office because OF there not being a suitable
building on that street. The people on
that street, however, state that they in
tended to build one. There has been more
importance attached TO the location OF the
postofiice by both the Union and Belmont
street people than the thing demands, and
we opine that when they all cool down
Belmont street people will not think they
lost much; neither will the Union street
folks think they gained great deal.
