monijay the new stouffville post office officially opened on monday evening by the reception of the evening mail and its distribution from the new- building the formality of opening was a very tameaffair there being no public cerenjony of any nature just at this critical time at ottawa there is no member of the housa who could tie induced to consider coming to stouffviiie for such a minor task much less rt hon wl mackenzie king when the 620 mail was finally assorted in the new building mr robert miller was the first man to receive a letter through the wicket and he was followed by a long line of people many of ourpeople have not yet picked out xsox and in the meantime must apply at the wicket for their mail there are in all 400 lock boxes and 297 or these may be rented at one dollar a ysar the re mainder being larger ones rent for 2 and 3 according to size call boxes as used in trie old office are not in use in government buildings but the lock box system is much more preferable the new building is especially adapted for handlinjpmails with the quickest despatch and is furnished with the latest equipment there is splendid room for the postal staff to work and when they become acquainted with the new arrangement of the boxes etc the delay in sorting mails will be reduc ed to the minimum the front lobby of the building has a pleasing ap pearance and provides fairly good floor accommodation for the public the boxes are conveniently arranged on the west side of the lobby and the wickets in the centre and east side thern are two wickets pro vided for the distribution of mail but it is njt likely two will be used a present s it would necessitate an extra clerk to attend both wickets at the east side are for handling registered letters or for securing money orders etc the steel lock boxes and office fittings were supplied by the office specialty co of newmarket which does due credit to the firm because every detail is well worked outand the
