 Needs Many Improvements
 The Kensington post office is in need of modern equipment and many Improvements, according to Postmas- ter Sidney M. Cowles, and it is to this end that the special post office in- spector for this district is working.
 A notice has been posted in the post office asking for bids on the lease of post office accommodations. The lease will extend over a period of from five to 10 years. The building must be equipped with heat, light, water, toilet facilities, safe or vault, furniture and equipment. Sealed bids have been asked for.
 The present office space is ade- quate, but the equipment is old and there are no facilities. There is heat, to be sure, furnished by a stove dur Ing the winter, making the place more or less comfortable. There are also lighting fixtures. But withe re- gard to water and toilet facilities there are none. The safe in the post l office is an old one and a new one is | asked. The equipment is in bad con- lition, having been in constant use for | he past 25 or 30 years.
 MT. Cowles stated today, that since he offices change from third class to second class last July, no improve nents in equipment have been pro- 'ided. He claimed that third and wen fourth class post offices in the states are provided with up- o-date equipment, even if they do not ake care of more than six or seven etters day.
 He said that it is the idea of the ost office department to standardize Il equipment in second class offices, o that if there are any changes or if
 post office is closed, there will be 0 losses and the equipment may be ent to some other office, where 1t can e used. II
 It is not likely that there will be lany bidders on the question, but as [ he inspector pointed out, there may ( @ someone in Kensington who will s uild structure on vacant lot, that s therwise would be drawing in no r avenue. The person so. doing would e sure of deriving steady rental for il years. The location must be cen- V al, the notice states. It is probable, f owever, that the building now being b sed, will continue to serve as the t ost office building. q
