RECOMMENDS REMOVAL
OF DOVER POSTOFF|CE

Dover-FoXcroft, Me, Jan. c9-William
c. Woodbury., treasurer of the Piscat-
aquis Savings Bank, received on Sunday
evening telegram from Cong Frank L.
Guernsey, who is In WASHINGTON. In
which Mr.. Guernsey stated that he had
just seen the report made the postoffice
department ls Inspector Charles c. Hart
of Boston in which the inspector rec
commended the removal of the postoffice
from Merrick square to the Anderson
building on South street. Cong Guern-
sey also stated that he had talked the
thing over again with the third assist
ant postmaster general and that Robert
f. Hill, Esq, of Dover would visit the
department Monday and inform the post
al officials of the feelings of the patrons
of the office regarding the moving
scheme.
News that Inspector Hart recommend
ed the moving of the office came as a
decided surprise to Dover people who pre-
fer to have the office remain on Merrick
square. Inspector Hart, who comes from
Boston. attended a hearing held at the
courthouse which was largely attended
and at which many prominent business
men and residents of the town in general
spoke in protest against the change in
the location of the postoffice. Not a per-
son appeared in favor of the scheme
While Inspector Hart did not, while
in Dover, hint as to what his report
would be, it was anticipated that he
would report against the removal of the
office to Postmaster Anderson's building
Considering the real feelings of the peo-
pie regarding the matter it is rather puz-
zling to the office patrons as to what
caused the inspector to wholly ignore
public sentiment in the matter as ex-
pressed at the hearing held for his In
formation and benefit

Plans are now under discussion for
the formation of a branch organiza-
ton of the Seton Indians among the
boys of the Winthrop street Baptist
church Sunday school. This organiza-
ton is much the same sort of boys
association as the American Boy
Scouts. except that it does not lean
so strongly toward the military, but
rather emphasizes nature study and
the lore of the big out doors, woods
craft being taught the members by
their leaders, and a great deal of
wholesome recreation results from the
jaunts taken by the clubs. If the boys
show sufficient interest in the project
there is little doubt that it will result
in strong local bovs' organization
which will prove a factor for good.
