Through the efforts or the postmaster, the office was moved, to its present location on Whiting street and under his administration an inter-town mail service was ob- tained-
 Two carriers were appointed and retain their positions yet. Gordon Hurtson and Pearl Smith were the men who received the appointment At that time the carriers received minimum salary of $500 per year but with the new salary schedule eff fective July 1st their salary will have been increased s1.000, making d maximum of s1,S00 per year. This new scale includes all clerks and carriers. Of this increase, two and one-half per cent will have to be re- turned to the government to provide for the pension fund according to the new bill that had been passed.
