PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1939. POSTOFFICE JOB Work on the extension and re modeling of the Medford fed eral building will begin Wed nesday or Thursday, it was stated yesterday by C. H. Post, superintendent in charge of the Job for the L. H. Hoffman com pany of Portland, contractor. Mr. Post conferred here yes terday with James L. Murphy, construction engineer of the federal works agency who will supervise the work for the gov ernment, on the plans and speci fications. It was feared for a time that a delay in the delivery of needed structural steel would hold up the work for perhaps a month but Mr. Post said yes terday that his company had been assured the steel would be delivered on time. The work is to be done in three units, first of which is the extension or addition. The next two unts arc the remodeling of the present structure. It is cal culated that the entire job will take about a year. As the addition is to be erected in the area north or in the back of the present build ing, provision must be made im mediately for the loading and unloading of mail and this will be clone by making a door out of a window at the east end, Mr. Post explained. A loading platform will be built for hand ling the incoming and outgoing mail at the Holly street side of the postoffice. A chute will be built to the basement and carriers will do their work in the bnsement in stead of on the main floor as now. A dust-proof partition is to be built on the inside of the entire north wall so that con struction of the addition will not interfere with the normal func tioning of the federal agencies housed in the building, Mr. Post related. The first unit will interfere in no way with the ordinary use of the building by employes or the public, Mr. Post said. Virtually all the space around the building, however, will bo occupied by the contractor with work houses, materials and equipment, he said.

"Far be it from me to curtail the fun of youngsters on Hallo we'en but there is the federal law and the law must be en forced," Mr. DeSouza declared. All cases of wilful damage or destruction must be reported to C. E. Paine, inspector in charge of this district, at Seattle, who then must send out an agent to investigate and to procure if possible the names of the alleged culprits as the first steps in prosecuting any case, the postmaster said.
