Bartlett seemed yesterday to
be one step nearer to securing-
a new building to house the
postal facilities of the city
when an official from the space
and equipment section of the
Post Office Department visited
the local office to complete the
survey as to the needs of more
adequate facilities. The lease on
the present facilities will expire
next year. The survey as to the
need of quarters and equipment
was based on postal business
for the past 10 years and on
anticipated postal business for
the next 10 to 20 years.
It was decided that the gen-
eral area in which the 'new of-
fice should be located would be
bounded by Bell Street Lillian
Street Pietzsch and Emma
Streets.
The next step it is understood
will be made by an official from
the Regional Real Estate Office
who will select the site for the
new post office and will at that
time secure options on the new-
site. "Crit" Celebrates
