The lluntcrdon Democrat Of last
week informs rs that Pennington IS to
have a new Post Office The Demo
crat also says that rumor has II that
llcmington's new office will have the
l.ambcftvillc Office faded, and that the
Lamberlvillc Office IS considered 4
model
II then proceeds 20 enumeratc the
devices, &c, that the new Remington
office will contain Among which we
note IS some sort OF a patent delivery
window, that will hide the face OF the
laif attendant ! he installation of a
window oil this character will. the Dem
oerat says, Facilitate the business OF
the Office, because with that fair face
hidden from view there will bc no in
duccment for cnamorrd swans To hang
around the window any longer than ~
necessary for them 10 be waited upon,
which will be, not only Il great saving
of time, but OF much annoyance as
well To other patrons ct the office, who
for reasons OF then own tand which,,
we presume. reflect no disercdli ON the
attendants"

Gus OF Remington lie County Seat
should haVe the verp best available mail
facilities which they do mol now have.
lhe proposed new Office does not meet
the requirements oil the service. W
think, however, that the requirements
OF the service and the convenience Of
the patrons OF the office, could be much
better met by remodeling the present
Office, the location Of which. rom our
view point, IS admirable
In short, ii IS past our understanding
how the people of Remington, twilhoul
a carrier service, which ii is not proba
bic they will have for years to GOMEZ,
can stand for having their Post Office
removed to the suburbs, the proposed
location OF the new office, does not
seem to MS, as meeting the require.
ments Tor convenience in any particular.
In short, II the new Office Is located
as proposed, it would seem to us that
business houses, banks, county offices.
hotels, and by far the greater number of
the patrons OF the office NJ Remington
would do well 10 petition the +. O.
Department at Washington, To place

think it would be more convenient.
However, II the people OF Pennington
are satisfied with the proposed location
OF their new office, we presume its not
Tor us to object, but we cannot under
stand II, unless perhaps the people OF
Remington are exceedingly magnln-
nous and desire to place steady ten
