PUTNAM
Government Order indicates Speedy Work on New Federal Building Michael keane Dies from Lockjaw- Carol Singing by Congregational Choir

An order received here from the postoffice department at Washington directs the clearance of all buildings and materials from the site purchased for the new federal postoffce build - ing. The clearance must be completed within 60 days from Dec. g, and while the information to that effect has not been given out, it is understood that the actual work of construction is to begin almost immediately
 This announcement comes as a very pleasant Christmas surprise for the people of Putnam, who have long awaited definite an15uncement that construction work was to begin In- dications now are that by next Christ mas the postofice building will be completed or nearly so.
 The buildings to be removed from the site include the dwelling house of Dr. M J. Bullard a garage and an other small structure Who is to have the contract for making the clearance has not been announced; neither has anything been said as to who is tH have the contract for the erection of the postoff1ce building.
 The location. selected and purchased by the government, answers about all of the requirements of the postoff1ce department It is on high ground, has sufficient clearance on all sides and is within S00 feet of the point where mail is taken off trains, which fact will re- quire the railroad company to meet the expense of getting the mail to the postof7ce instead of the government paying for the service.
