SECOND CLASS OFFICE
Sank Centre Postal Receipts in Tx
cess of $4,000 Per Year-Addi-
tiOnal Clerk Furnished.

Under the rules and regulations of
the Post Office Department when the
receipts of a postoffice exceed $4,000
per year that office passes from the
third into second class office. At
the close of the last fiscal year the
Sank Centre office exceeded this sum
by $50, but the excess was so small
that it was left in the third class.
This year the receipts exceeded the
necessary sum to such an extent
that beginning with July first it was
raised to the second class. The new
classification gives the office an addi-
tional clerk and Frank T. Pangburn,
formerly with L. S. Bishop Co., has
received the appointment. 1t also
means that all the clerks will be paid
by the postoffice department. Form
erly Postmaster Boobar was compell-
ed, owing to the large amount of
work, to pay several hundred dollars
out of his own pocket each year for
clerk hire. The change also increases
the salary of the postmaster one
hundred dollars per year.
The raise in class not only betokens
the rapid growth of business in Sank
Centre, but also indicates the careful
management of Postmaster Boobar.
Hereafter the general window will
open at 7:30 a. M, and will close at
Up. m. The money order window will
open at 1880 a. M, and close at

Grade Crossings
To Be Eliminated

The elimination of grade crossings |
seems to be the order of the day all
along the Pacific Highway and other
roads of consequence up and down
the coast, according to press dis
patches in the city papers of Oregon
and California. The following from
the Portland Telegram tells of the
outcome of years of effort along this
line at Portland:
Proceedings for the elimination of
the grade crossing at the intersection
of Sandy boulevard with the Oregon
Washington Railroad and Navigation
Company's tracks in Sullivan's Gulch
are to be begun by the council as soon
as the proper papers can be prepared.
This was determined at conference
between the council, representatives
of the Railroad and Navigation Com
pany and the Portland Railway, Light
and Power Company, and residents
of Rose City Park. This will necessi-
tate the lowering of the track of the
main line of the Washington
Railroad from East Twenty-eighth
street east to the city limits, at
cost of more than $250,000, and the
boulevard over the cut. The lower
ing of the track as proposed will
eliminate all grade crossings on the
line and result in faster running time
of trains through that part of the
city. The entire cost will be met by
the railroad company. The viaduct
over the railroad tracks will be more
than 400 feet in length and either Of
steel or reinforced concrete. 1t will
Enecessitate change of grade, which
has bitterly been fought in the past
by property owners affected. The
cost of the proposed viaduct will be
| divided between the Portland Rail-
way, light and Power Company, the
Oregon Washington Railway and
Navigation Company and the proper
ty owners benefited. For years the
residents of the Rose City Park dis
trict have been endeavoring to have
this grade crossing eliminated, but
each time have been defeated. The
new proceedings will be instituted
under the present charter provisions
which give the council almost arbi-
trary power to make such improve
ments.
