Early in the vear the former post office building was pur- chased and this will be paid for in five annual installments. The Rotary Club is raising the money, doing much off the work, and ca-operating with the Library Board in renavat- ing the ground floor ta give the town a larger and more suitable librany. Municipal Office Space It was the original intention ta ment the entire second floor for offices, but as the tawn continues ta grow and mare services are needed and more records must. be kept, anc large office bas been turned aver to the tawn fareman and wilh also be used by the consulting engi neer.
