In addition to offices on the second floor, the forest service and Indian service are provided with storage space in the basement. A large assembly assem-bly and lecture room also is available for the county agent. Citizens of Cedar take pride in the fact in May 1931, through the efforts of the Cedar Chamber of Commerce, they contributed $13,000 toward the purchase of the building site so that the building might be erected on the location it now occupies. The property was purchased from the L. D. S. Church on which for fifty years had stood the tabernacle taber-nacle which the founders of the community had built. Construction was begun on September 1, 1932. but after the excavation had been completed a soil investigation revealed the possible presence of gypsum in the soil, and the footings and foundations were completely revised, re-vised, causing a delay of nearly seven months before work was resumed, April 11, 1933. The contract price was originally under und-er $100,000, but, due to those changes and others since, the cost was approximately $103,000. Inside, the postoffice and lobby occupy the first floor, which provides pro-vides about 6000 feet of space. The lobby is finished in Utah golden travis marble for the wainscoting and floor borders, with terrazo floors, red and yellow yel-low marble chips being useo on the floors, and ornamental plaster plast-er work on ths walls and ceiling.
