”I share with the Mayor. the Town Council, the Board of Trade and all those responsible for the erection of this building my hap- plness at being present for the opening of this splendid building," said Mr. Kickham.

He traced briefly the steps lead- lng up to the commencement of the work. After the people of Montague had gotten together and decided what they wanted, the matter was taken up.wit.n the of- ficials of. the rtmeht of Pub- lic Works--at was.-Mr. Kick- harn told them that in making the presentation -to Ottawa three things were stressed: 1. It mustbccommod- ious and eye appealing: 2. It must be sufficiently large to allow for the sortstlon of mail by rural carriers and provide parking space for residents arriving at the Post of- fice for their mail: If. it must be durable in strength and founda- tion. "All these three points have been included in this building." said Mr. Klckham.

BICALLC DIFFICULTIES

The speaker said that not all was smooth sailing from the be- ginning. He pointed out that the first plans submitted by the De- partment were rejected; five sites had to be purchased and a trans- fer of another take place before construction could begin. Mr Kick- ham had words of thanks for the owners of property, who did not make unreasonable demands on the Government when it be- came known that their property was included in the area. selected for the new building.

Mr. Kickham described the feel- ings of a number of citizens who, since they had always gotten their mail on the opposite side of the bridge, felt that the bulldlnll should be erected there. He was glad to note that a. spirit of co-operation finally prevailed which, had it not been forthcoming would have re- sulted in indefinite delays

At the beginning of his speech, Mr. Kickham read a telegram from Federal Minister of Public Works,
