Yesterday morning Post Office Inspec-
tor Pendleton OF Westerly was in town,
looking over the room just vacated by
Schofeld's undertaking establishment,
and a full account Of it, the measure
ments, requirements, rent and conditions
sent on to Washington TO the Post Office
Department, and an answer is expected
in a few days. The location will cost $500
a year u being a second-class Office the
fixtures will have TO be supplied by the
one leasing the building, which Mr.. Irons
has agreed to do. 1t is most likely that a
favorable reply will be given soon, as the
present quarters are far from adequate
for the town.
The subject so often discussed at pre-
Nlous hicctluSS, bdiiCiy tuc VIC llDTdTs
clock was then brought up by Mr.. Grant
one OF the committee, and the advisabillty
of the association taking upon itself the
burden of standing the expense of It's illu-
mination was discussed at length, the
general sentiment being that the organi-
cation should not be called upon to meet
this extra bill, as it was already difficult
enough to pay running expenses.
