INAUGURATION.

During the Inauguration Of Cover
nor Edge at Trenton, N. j., 100 scouts
were stationed at various points for
the purpose of directing delegates to
the capitol. Others acted as guides at
the railroad stations and assisted the
traffic officers. A triangle was formed
behind the reviewing stand during the
exercises to prevent the enthusiastic
crowd from closing in upon the new
governor as he walked from the capt.
tol to the stand.
The police department and many in
dividuals have complimented the work
Of the boys in the highest terms. The
governor himself was well pleased to
see so many of the boys serving SO
faithfully on such cold day. and he
commented on their work and sturdi-
ness and general character.

Postmaster Bion B. Anderson. The
decision to reconsider the order was,
according to Congressman Guernsey,
due to the action taken at the special
town meeting last Saturday when res
olutions were adopted protesting to
the Department against the proposed
move. 1t is now expected that public
hearing will be ordered by the Wash
ington officials at which everyone in
terested may have an opportunity to
express his or her opinion upon the
question.
The postoffice matter has been q
bone of contention since Postmaster
Anderson announced that the Depart
ment had leased his building on South
street for period of 10 years and had
granted him authority to move the Of
flee. The Anderson building is located
over a half-mile from the present Of
flee and within 1000 yards of the Fox
croft postoffice. Protest after protest
went in to the Washington authorities
but everything seemed in vain. The
special town meeting which was at
tended by over 700 representative men
and women patrons Of the Office was
result and at the meeting everyone
had the opportunity to express their
ideas. Not word in favor Of the move
was spoken and it was apparent that
sentiment against the proposed move
is practically universal. The patrons
of the Office are confident that at
public hearing they will have little
difficulty in convincing the postal off,
Gals Of the absurdity Of the proposed
move.

Within the next few weeks, as soon
as the necessary cable arrives the New
England Tel. &; Tel. Co. will extend its
aerial cable plant on Riverside Drive,
from a point near North Belfast avenue
for distance of over three miles. For
some time past the growth in that part
of the city has been such that the ca
pacity of the pole line. using open
wire, has been taxed. After the plac-
ing Of the new cable all the local lines
will be included in it. making room for
additional toll circuits as needed in the
future. About one and one-quarter
miles will be cable containing so pairs
Of wires and beyond that two miles
containing Is pairs. The cost Of the
work will approximate $4,000.

Considerable additional work will be
done on the board at the same time.
including 100 additional answering
jacks or terminals, cord circuits. etc.
This gives places on the board for six
