P.O. RENOVATIONS WILL BE CARRIED OUT BY B. TIMMS
SIX WEEKS’ JOB HERE IN PROVIDING MORE FLOOR SPACE
ATHERTON WOODWORKING CO. TO SUPPLY THE CABINET WORK
[The Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tribune, 19 November 1931]
Bert Timms, 122 Dorothy street, has been awarded the contract for renovations to the Welland postoffice, and the contract figure was stated by Mr. Timms today to be approximately $2,000. Other local contractors who tendered for the job were the R. Timms Construction Co. Ltd., and the Gardner Construction Company, Ltd. The Atherton Woodworking Company has the sub-contract for supplying the cabinet work such as the wickets, mail boxes, brass grills, bevelled windows and other other similar features.
Work commenced yesterday, and Mr. Timms is superintending the job, the postoffice building superintendent, William Jarvis, giving him the fullest possible co-operation.
The intention is to erect the money order and registration offices at the north end of the building, and to provide office space where the north side hallway now stands. This will eliminate the hallway there, and will give the postoffice staff considerably more space for their work, something Postmaster W.H. Moore states, had been badly needed for a long while.
The mail boxes will be removed from their present position to the south side of the building, and will be fewer in number, The Tribune was informed. The package and stamps wickets will remain where they now are.
Mr. Timms hopes to have the job finished within the next six weeks.
R. Winter of Toronto, district architect for the Federal Government, is expected in the city late today to confer with Mr. Jarvis and Mr. Timms.
