why but is there any requirement or service rendered at the town oostomce by the use of two heavy doors to open all summer when patrons pass in and out of the government building in winter time the extra door helps to keep the cold out but in sum mer two doors mean nothing to barring flies that inhabit the prem ises despite the efforts of a good caretaker if there is any regulation whereby two doors must be in use then why not one of them be a screen door perhaps the public works dept or postal authorities could answer the dominion gov ernment is now criticized for hav ing 11s thousand people working for them and it is questionable if the population hereabout should be added even to take on the unneces sary job of opening unnecessary doors county historical sketch we had placed in
