Meantime work is in progress of remodeling the south half of the post office building which is to be the location of the Gary Mayer meat market. Since the Mayer store is also to have complete new fixtures the old Upper Alton post office will be coming back into its own with a new dress in a very short time. Giant Oak Still Smoking Smoke still rolled from the giant oak tree today at the Stevenson and Boughton homes on Leverett avenue, although there was not much left of the old oak that had been nearly consumed by fire that was consuming from the inside. Richard Milford, Shurtleff College property man, worked at the big limbs of the tree that had been cut from it last week when the fire department was celled to keep the tree from spreading fire in the neighborhood.

The tree has been burning since last Thursday. After the limbs were cut off the trunk of the old oak stood 1 40 feet high as smoke emitted from every opening at the top where the branches had been cut. Today the trunk was less then 10 feet in height as the fire from the Interior slowly devoured it.
