We congratulate our sister city,
Havre de Grace, upon the completion of
handsome postoffice building erected
for the use of the Government by Mr.. A.

zens of the place. The structure'is built
of granite androck-faced concrete blocks,
and is distinct ornament and valuable
addition to the town. There is nothing
by which visitors so rapidly and correct

its public buildings, and we congratulate
Havre de Grace upon this addition to
her enterprising display. The upper
story of the building will be used as a
lodge-room for the fraternal order of
Eagles.
