WEST HavEs,s PosToFF1oE.

Men who Have Their Eagle Eyes
Upon the PosftIOn-It Pays About
SIX Hundred Dollars Net Per AM
mum.
Now that postofice appointments are be-
ing made considerable speculation is being
INDUCED in in our enterprising suburb, West
Haven. as to who is to be the lucky winner
of the prize of the West Haven postoffice. 1t
is supposed that the present incumbent, Mr..
Wilmot of Wilmot & Warner, will not be re-
appointed, icing strong Republican if not
one of the deepest dye. His term expired
March 4th. The pay of the position is
81 900 per annum and the net income from
it is about 5000. The other $500 goes to pay
Office rent, clerk hire and other expenses.
The present efficient and popular postmaster,
Mr.. Wilmot, owns the lock and call boxes.
He had them made and put in the Office and
his successor will no doubt buy them of
him. They are valued at 5000. Among
those named for the position are Fred. W.
Bishop, the manufacturer of patent adjusta-
BILE poles, George Fl. Thomas, now in Viii
mot & Warmers store, Cleveland Smith,
JAS Andrews and Dr. Barnett. Gossip places
Mr.. F. w. Bishops chances for the place as
Thomas chances second, and the rest of the
names on the list are speculated upon pos
sib1e dark horses. The postoffice involves
considerable work after all, for West Haven
is growing borough and has been growing
steadily for some time. 1t is of Importance
that the place be filed we'll and if it is filed
as satisfactorily by the new man it has
been for years past by Mr.. Wilmot all will be
well in the borough far as the postofice is
concerned.
