 There is very little probability of
 action ever coming upon the sugges-
 ton that the site of the burned high
 school be taken over by the govern
 ment for a post office site. The most
 evident reasons are that the post of
 flee has but recently moved into a
 new location which no doubt will be
 made to suffice for many years to
 come, another reason being that the
 Stratford office at the present time is
 in reality a sub-Station of the Brid ge-
 port office, and the third and best
 reason at the present time is the lack
 of funds for federal buildings, which
 is evident from the fact that in many
 localities sites which are already owned by the government are not be-
 ing built upon, no funds being avail able
