    Mail service will not be interrupted in the least, according to word given out by Postmaster Overmyer. It is excpected that the entire change will be made during Saturday night.

    In some ways, the arrangement of the lobby room will be better in the temporary home than the present room.

    The partition to the room will be near the front and will run north and south. At the north end of the partition will be the lock boxes. Then the partition turns to the west and around the corner will be will be the money order window. nother turn to the south and we have the parcel post, stamp and general delivery windows running north and south in the order named.

    All incoming and outgoing maul will be handled through the rear door. This has been impossible at the present office and will do away with the congestion of traffice of the office when mail carriers and other vehicles are near.

    Postmaster Overmyer has not as yet been advised ny the postmaster-general whether any new equipmet will be allowed for the new building

    The local equipment has been used here for a great number of years. and it is hoped some new furniture will be sent here.
