June 21st, 1915 To The Editor: The above letter from the Honorable John H. Small relative to the site for-thetwe'are living, to our municipality Postoffice Building which -you will please publish in your val-J uable paper together with this statement, as I believe our peo- pie ought to thoroughly under- stand how the matter stands, and why. I regret that t we have so little enterprise aispng, qyr peo J pie and apparentty fia.civic pndeJ I believe and feel satisfied that ! any town in the North or Westl of the size of ours, and 7 even smaller, with an opportunity like ours would long ago have had a f !"-" suitable site tor sucn a Duuaing, J and I have no hesitation in say ing we could long ago haye had the most suitable site in our town for out proposed Federal Build ing, but I arn frank to say I am beginning to, feel like Mr. Small; that if, there is not civic spirit enough on either side to push the proposition through, that we just as well droD the Dresent location and seek the next best site. " Jt is unfortnnate that our .people think the Government will pay any price they choose to ask for their property, but it is a mis- taken impression and .a misap- prehension of the facts. And therefore I trust that when we come to consider the nxt -best lot or ;ite thnr the lt owners will not think the Government will pay an exorbitant price,- and thatthev will conseauentlv be liberaf andrconnhU-in- lincr with the Government and not so liberal to T ,o v. been verv enrne.t and most anx- ious to secure what is generally considered the most desirable lot and in order to do this I offered to pay one-tenth of the ?extra amount required, to-wit: $1000, even thoueh I considered theJ consideration asled forita' hiffh proffer met with no response from the owners, or any citizen in our community, although . we have men who are rich enoughf to double vhat I have more than a hundred times, and could spare -the entire amount without feel- ing it. I am writincr olainlv be cause I : that we are , not showing a proper-apprciation for Mr. Small's efforts in bur behalf, - meeting the liberalitv of onr Government as we should.
