POST OFFICE LOCATION

Nothing further will be done in re- gard to the removal of the post office until the return of the inspectors from the interior. They are expected in about three weeks.
 There is but little doubt that on the return of the inspectors, the removal of the post office to the city hall, out of the saloon district, will be agreed upon. At present there are ten sa- looms surrounding the post office and within a block of it, and the inspec- tors do not regard this as very desir- able. The partition under the stairs between the old police court room and the building to the north will be torn out, and the entire area thrown into one room.
