the possibilities of accidents caused
 by children crossing from the side of the street with the sidewalk to the
 postoffice which would be on the side
 without a sidewalk. Mir Kilby is the
 owner of all the land in the neigh
 borhood of the office and had antici- -pated building a new shoemaker's
 shop to replace the one which was
 burned to the ground some time ago. With the new plans which have now been submitted to the department he has decided to build the office,
 and turn the old building into a shoe
 makers shop. The new building will
 afford ample room for the handling
 of the mails for Kensington, and will
 be up to date in every respect. Post
 master Pagan has been consulting
 with the agents of the postoHice de-
 partment for some time past in re-
 gard to the improvement in facilities
 for handling the mail, and at his
 suggestion agents were sent here to
 look over the present building and
 the sites for the proposed new build
 ing. If the estimated cost of upkeep
 for the new proposed building is sat
 isfactory to the officials of the de-
 partment, the building will be put
 under way soon.
 More Trucks Stuck.
 In addition to the large number of i trucks which were stuck in the mud during the past few days on the turn pike near the bricl1yards, four more large touring cars were added to the list of those sunk without warning today. The parts of the road which sunk today, are places which were believed to be absolutely solid, and it is now believed that no parts of the road in that section of the turn pike are strong enough to stand the traffic for another year without being repaired. Besides the several places which gave way yesterday, two new
 places went through today, and In each of the new holes two cars were lodged. To prevent the road from going to pieces altogether, it Is prob ablo that within few days traffic will be switched off the road until a solid foundation can be built. FraternaI Notes.
