Whether or not Stamford is to have
new postmaster or lose its postoffice
entirely and become annexed to the
North Adams Office by an extension Of
the rural free delivery system is the
question which is agitating that entire
town today.
The facts, or several OF them at least
in the case became pubic yesterday,
when petition, circulated by A. w.
Wilmarth, was sent to the first assist
art postmaster general at Washing
ton, praying that A. B. Sanford be
appointed postmaster for Stamford to
succeed Mrs NJ. L. Whitney, the pres
ent incumbent
1t now developes that this is the sec.
ond petition to be forwarded from
Stamford within the past few days,
Mr. Whitney, quietly put wise" TO
what was doing, it is said, by Con
gresham Foster of Vermont, having
petitioned for the continuance of the
Office.
Whether or not the Office Is to be
continued it is certain that neither Mr.
nor Mrs Whitney will remain in charge
notice having been received from a
United States postal inspector, who re-
Gently visited Stamford, to the effect
that neither of them could hold the
position.
The postofiice has been in the Whit
ney store for many years. twas there
when c. T.. Winchell, now OF North
Adams owned the place, and Mr. Whit
ney became postmaster when Mr. Win
chell sold out to him. Under Cleve
land administration p. j, Morrissey,
who had just opened his store, was
appointed, but on the election of Nc
Kinley, contest arose, Mr. Morris
sey claiming that he was a gold demo-
crat aud supported Mckinley against
Bryan, and Mr. Whitney seeking the
office again. MIR Whitney was sue
cessful. At the time of the last APP
pointment Mr. Whitney was town clerk
and therefore could not hold the office,
so his wife was appointed.
