a new Federal Building in Oxford,
Pa. as quarters for the Post Office in
that borough.
A year or so ago, inspectors Wis
tied the borough, and several sites
were considered as available, but
no decision as to the location of
the building has been made.
A recent survey indicated the
needs Of new quarters, as the pos
tai business at Oxford has been
steadily increasing, and the avail
able space in the present building
is crowded. The Post Office has been
located in the Masonic Building
for the past forty years or more,
and new building will be welcomed
by Postmaster Robert G. Moore and
