CHANGE MADE TOMORROW
A SHIFT IN POSTMASTERS
Postmaster Surface Retires This Ev.
ening and Mr.. Spekenheier viii As
sumo Control Of Affairs Tomorrow
Morning-More Carriers are wanted.

This will be Postmaster Daniel
Surfaces last day in office, and to-
morrow, the first day of July and the
first day of the fiscal year of the of
flee, j. A. Spekenheier will assume
the management of Uncle Sans af-
fairs in Richmond. Mr.. Surface re-
tires with the best wishes of the
postoffice employees and the public
in general. Next week he will go to
Chicago on visit with his daughter,
Mrs. Thad Alice, and little later he
will go to Bass Lake. Ind. for an
extended stay. Mr.. and Mrs Alice
will accompany him. Mr.. Surface will
continue to call Richmond his home.
though very likely he will be here
but little of his time.
Mr.. Spekenheier goes into office
tomorrow under favorable conditions
and his past record as public officer
indicates that he will serve with
equal ability and distinction in this
position. The growth of the postal
business in Richmond has been
steady for good many years and
now that a good postofice building
has been provided the next effort
to be made is to improve the service.
II is understood that one of the first
things the new postmaster viii do
will be to interest the department at
Washington to the extent that adj
ditional city carriers may be provid-
ed.
