|R There seems to be little doubt now
that the United States Post Office De-
parlment will close with the Coombs-
Dry Realty Company, of Wildwood,
for the lease of space in the new struc-
ture soon to go up at the corner OF
Pacific and Oak avenues, on the site
formerly known as the Poplars. The
assembling of material has already
begun. The Government is negotiating
for a oom In this proposed building
81 feet front on Pacific avenue by 6S
feet Or SO feet in depth. The height OF
the celling.will be about IL feet. Should
the deal go through a lease will be
executed for a period of ten years. 1t
is understood that in making contracts
of this kind the United States postal
service requires a bond Of lessons in a
sum equal to 25 per cent. OF the gross
amount involved, which in this case
will range somewhere between $50, 900
and $50 1000. The object of the bond
regulation is to guarantee the faithful
performance Of all stipulations. Opinion
OH all sides seems to point to the loca-
ton designated as an ideal centre for
the Wild wood post office. A final con-
clusion In the matter Is expected within
a very short time.
Strange things happen in politics
sometimes. This year it occurred in
New Jersey, when SO Republicans were
elected to the Assembly and only one
Democrat. 1t is said to be an unheard

In the majority. The House of As
sembly includes two ministers, two
women, a colored doctor and a solid
Republican delegation of twelve as
semblymen from Hudson county, a
Democratic stronghold, in which Jersey
City is located. The House caucus has
decided upon George S. Hobart, of
Essex county, for speaker. He is a
nephew of the late vice president of
the United States, Garret A. Hobart.
