The postofice department at Wash- on has asked for bids for the loca- on of & postal sub-station in Willi- mantic, although the present contract with James F. Courtney does not ex- pire until June 30, 1915. The govern- ent is always ahead of time in these matters, hence the request, which means no more than that the authori- ties are endeavoring to arrange for the station in advance of the expiration of the present contract. Mr. Courtney has had a sub-station in his store ever since the postoffice building has been in its present loca- tion, and the government's request does not necessarily mean a change in its location. Conditions have not chang- ed, in the opinion of Postmaster Dim- mick. If a suitable place can be ob- tained ®t a suitable figure, there will be a sub-station; if not, people will have to journey to the postoffice it- seif. CHAPLIN DOCTOR DISAPPEARS.
