POST OFFICE
MUST VACATE
Lease on Present Quarters
in Hover Block Expires
First of The Year

The Kennewick post office will be
in other quarters next year, accord
ing to Gordon C. Moores, who states
that he has notice from the owners OF
the building that the present lease
will not be renewed. The post office
has been in its present location for
ten years.
Ten years ago, when the office was
moved to its present location from
the Beach block at the lower end of
the street, the business men in this
end of town contributed toward the
rental of the room. Since that time
so many changes have taken place
that gradually the practice was drop
ped and the government, it is under
stood, pays but fifty dollars month
rent, which includes. heat, water and
light and repairs. This amount, the
owners figure, is not sufficient to
pay the costs.
The postmaster is entirely at a
loss for suggestion as to the future
location, but no doubt by the time it
is necessary to move suitable To-
cation can be found.
