that eight new members had been
received. West Gardiner has already
begun to get new members.

New Interior Floor Space-Sec, ton in LObby-Larger Driveway

Bids are being received at the post office and at Washington for pro- posed improvements at the local of- flee. Post master William Delaney is in receipt Of maps and specifications from the treasury department at Washington regarding these new ad- ditions. One--of the improvements planned will he that of | mezzan'ne floor. This floor will be suspended from the large center rstrter in the Building and will extend across the entire length of the post office on the south side. On this new floor VIII be placed the carrier benches and It will be reached by stairways. This new addition will eliminate the benches on the ground floor as there is hardly enough room at present to allow for proper handling of mall delivery and parcel post.
 Another plan is to build struc- ture of wood and glass at the left of the South High street entrance in the lobby. It will measure about ID feet by 24 feet long. In this place will probably be placed the money order department. This structure IS called a Kiosk.
 The present driveway will. also. be enlarged in order that automobile trucks will be able to pass. The place is now too narrow to make this possible. Bids will be received until June 2i at the local office or the!de- partmcnt at Washington. "'t
