At the same time work is un-

system of the building, which will
make it practically new. The con-
tracts were let recently by post-
office authorities, the painting and
decorating work going to the Dura-
ble Decorating Co. of Denver, Colo.,
and the heating plant work to the
Cleburne Foundry Co.
It will require about three to
four weeks to complete the work,
according to Mr. Dickson.
Ous Olson is foreman on the dec-
orating job and has four men with
him, who are expert in their line.
This is the first work of this kind
to be done on the building, which
is now about twenty years old, ac-
cording to Mr. Dickson, but the
plans call for thorough and com-
plete refinishing, which will make
the building serviceable for anoth-
er long period of years.
Mr. Bratcher and the -two
