CARMAN & CO., The Drugg's? , M ,.n Street Since the removal of the Oregon City post office into its new quarters and the installation of the new combination boxes, which does away with the old key system, many of the people who have held keys for Boine time have Bought to turn then in and get in re turn the deposit of 60 cents which they made when the keys were iBBued. They have been unable to do this for the simple reason that the postmaster has no lunds with which to pay for the keys. Postmaster Randall explains the matter by aying that no funds were turned over to him for paying for the keys. Itseemstnata number of years ago the lock box system was establisht d by a man named Bacon, and that he own?d the boxes, keys, etc. When one rented a box he wag made to pay 50 cents for a key to the cane with the un derstanding that when the key were turned in he would get hU money Nek. The postoffice changed hands several times and uider the Cleveland admin istration the office safe was blon open by burglars and robbed of the fund held for paying forthe keys. S nee that time no deposit has been required for the keps. Now there are several hundred Oregon City people who have made deposits of 50 cents for their keys who want their deposit money.
