KICKS NOW IN ORDER.

The POstofiice VIII be Removed to the
 OddfeIIOWs' Building in July-NOtice
 of Surrender Served Upon Mr Lamp
 son To-Day.
 The postoffce site is settled and the Oddfellows' building must now be christened the 'postoffice block" Post master D. E. Fitzpatrick received two let ters this morning signed by the new post master general, w. L. Wilson. They were dated April 6. One was q notification to serve on Edward R. Lampson stating that the postofiice department would surrender his premises on July 10. The other was an order to notify all interested parties that the proposition to lease rooms in the new OddfelIows' building had been ac- cepted and that removal should be made when the building was in readiness, at the lowest possible expense. Mir Lampson was duly notified of the departments s recommendations. C. II. Hart, secretary of the Oddfellows' association, also re- ceived notice this morning that their offer had been accepted.
 Mir Hart was seen by DEMOCRAT re- porter and said that work would be pushed as rapidly as possi- ble on the new building. There was no doubt in his mind but that the
  by July 10, the time specified He knew that the site had been selected before h. spector O'Brien left the city. The latter told him he would recommend the Odd fellows building. but desired nothing said about it until official notice came When asked AS to the amount of rental MT Hart declined to answer. He said that he pre- ferred not to tell the amount. In fact it is understood that 1t was voted in Odd fellows session that the price should not be given out That Is all Mir Hart had to say.
 The new office will have 3,240 square feet or floor, twenty seven feet front and l2O feet deep. On the north part of the building will be A small store twelve by forty feet. The front part of the new office will be in the middle of the build Ing. When it goes back forty feet 1t will widen out so AS to takc in n space thirty nine by eighty feet This will give plenty of light from the windows in the north. The Oddfellows association owns ten feet north of the building so that if the Dime Savings bank officials desire at any time to build clear up to their lines, they will not interfere with the light to the post office quarters. With the rest of the office paraphernalia, which the new landlords will put in, will be a fire proof vault There will be a rear entrance from Abbott avenue. Here teams can drive in, all mail can be delivered by this way and it will also be an entrance for the letter carriers. There will be but one front en- trance. All the furnishings will be new. An inspector will be here to superin- tend the work. when everything Is in readiness to begin moving.
 The notification received to-day ends all controversy, as it is the same as con tract. The notified change has already awakened considerable discussion. Many who have rented boxes for years claim that they will now discontinue them. as the carrier system is sufficient for them to receive their mail. The majority of these of course, are in the vicinity of the pres ent office. This will be counterbalanced, however. by people in the vicinity of the new office securing boxes.
