A. Dixon, member of Congress ftoin Utah. In a letter to Rep. Dixon, post office department Denver regional director, W. D. Brewer, stated that, An investigation of this office reveals that the present quarters are inadequate. The town of Monticello appears to be glowing very rapidly. If the present lessor is unable to provide the additional space needed at a reasonable rental, it will become necessary to advertise for other quarters. Our investigations have not been completed but are still in progress. When a determination has been reached as to what course we must follow, we will be pleased to write you. The Monticello post office is presently under lease which will expire December 31, 1962. The cancellation clauses in this lease permit the lease to be terminated upon 90 days notice in writing to the lessor whenever, in the judgment of the department (post office) the growth of the service at that office renders additional room necessary and the lessor is unable or unwilling to furnish suitable and sufficient space at an additional rental satisfactory to the department. Dixon indicated he believes the investigation is still in progress and that he will be informed by Brewer of the results shortly. r.v ' JS - ,l! & f 4, w ' i vf if 5 K- - y v:4 ,n, , lit i 4 O 'U 4 , r U t?Nt & 4ti - : J4 r 1 V Dr. Carroll D.
