Commencing July first the Echo post-office will be known thenceforth as "Port Jefferson Station." The change in name was brought about by post-master Chas. A. Squires, who in one short week secured the necessary list of names, forwarded the same to Washington and through the efforts of Congressman Cocks, who has a faculty of doing things, received his appointment as postmaster of Port Jefferson Station.
The business of the office has rapidly developed during the past few years, and the change in name will no doubt be greatly appreciated by the community, while strangers arriving by train will be less confused. It is estimated that this change in name will cause an increase of at least 25 per cent. in revenue to the postal department.]]> ]]>
