WHITING NEWS
Awaits His Commission.

James ]. Nedjl will assume his new
duties as postmaster as soon as he
receives his commission. The post
office inspector was here on Tuesday,
and the only delay now is the commits
sion.
The rumor that the postoffice will
be moved to the Klose building at One
Hundred and Nineteenth street and
New York avenue, now occupied by the
Setter store, has gained quite a foun-
dation. In speaking of the affair Mr..
Nedjl said there is absolutely nothing
to the story, at least, as far as he
knows. The present location in the
Schrage building in New York avenue
is leased until July. The greater part
of the fixtures are the property of Hen
ry Schrage, formerly postmaster, and
the government pays Mr.. Schrage the
sum of $21.66 per month for both the
building and fixtures.
Mr.. Nedjl said he thought at the
present low rent the government would
object to paying $50 per month for
the Klose building.
The postoffice changing hands and
location is now the chief topic of con-
versation, but it will soon be a thing
of the past, as Mr.. Nedjl, who will be
our fifth postmaster. expects to enter
upon his new duties in few days.
