EXPANSION OF P. 0. ONSOUTH HIGH §T. 15 MADE POSSIBLE (Continued From First Page) the rear if a permanent outlst for trucks could be obtained to Court street. A drivev iy enters Court street from the rear of a new apart- ment building erected there recently. This driveway seemed to be the logi- cal outlet to Court street from the vost office and ncgotiations were started for the purchase of nec sary land. The apartment building being ticd up in litigation at the time negotiations were delayed un- til quite recently when the proper- ty passed into the hands of the Loucks & Clark of Wallingford The realty company agreed to sell a 12 fool driveway between the apartment house and the property of The People’s church. The drive- way was sold to D. H. Davis of Daniel H. Davis and Co., owner of a small factory in the rear of the present post office building. Mr. Davis last evening deeded it to the city as a permanent publi driveway and i® was accepted by the common council. The postal depart- ment now has obtained options on property owned by Mr. Davis and property owned by William H. Cad- well on South High street, extend- ing 30 to 60 fect south of the pres- cut post office building, and will these for post office exten- The Davis plot is occupied by the factory and the Cadwell property by a three story brick apartment house. Upon the final signing of the deed these properties will be de- molished and work started on an extension to the enlarged post of- fice building. The purchase price for the two properties is said to be about $75,- 000, which leaves $175,000 of th appropriation set aside for New Britain to be used in actual con- struction work. This will mean that the architec- tural features of the post ofti now stands, which Postmaster E: believes arc among the most attrac- rved. will be additional structure added to the building in the re there being no change to the West Main street exterior. Detailed plans for the interior remodeling are not vet available, although it is under- stood that the working space will be increased two or fthree times its present capacity. Another change this will bring will be the probable abandonment of the parcel post station on Court street, in the brick building owned by A. A. Mills. This building was leased for a five-year period in April, 1925. 1t is probable that the govern- ment will not renew its lease.
