NO GREAT UNANIMITY or APPROX

Fair Haven East People and the Larger
Part of the Business Community Said to
Much Regret It-what is Said on the
subject-Christnas in the Churches
Personal Notes.
The people of Fair Haven are not by |
any means unanimous in joyful con-
graduation over the change in the To-
cation of the postofiloe, and the senti-
ment on the question is varied by sew
eral citizens, as followsi "The resi-
dents of Fair Haven East, from which
section no small part of the patronage
of the local postofflce comes, are al
most unanimous in disapproval and re-
gret at the change, while large por-
ton of the business community of Fair
Haven and of Fair Haven East are
likewise outspoken in the same direc-
ton. The postoffice in its new location
is far from being as handy and conVen-
lent 81 spot for large majority oil the
business men to reach, as was the oiu
spot The old place was central point
for most of the business community,
the merchants and oyster dealers, ana
others. 1t accommodated them far
better in location than the present To-
cation does. The claim made that the
present location is the more central mas
fictitious weight and bearing, FOR Whlie
it may be more central for the reslaeh-
tiaI section, it is less central Tor the
business community, whuch furnishes
g the largest part of the local office pusl-
ness while for Fair Haven East peo-
pie. who use the mails freely, the
change is bitter inconvenience, espe-
cially in inclement weather. Inc claim
that larger accommodations FOR the
postoffice could not be had in the OLD
place is offset by the assertion appaf-
entity we'll founded, that the owner OIL
the premises, Mr.. Bradley offered TO
build on sufficient addition IL IL was
desired Had the change not peen con-
summated so quickly it is certain that
a strong effort would have been MADE
to have kept the postofnce Wheie II
was. But the change was MADE so sud-
denly that there was no time LOT Or
ganiZed effort. ,,,
