LAUpiNBUIG WANTS
FEDERAL BUILDING
• IWaMhr O. H. KmwU WIU Go La
Washington to Prsoa Claims of
City fsr Building Appropria
tioa.
Lasrinburg waata and needs a Fad
and court house and postoffice build
lag. Of special interest to those who
beliovs in community progress ia the
announcement that Postmaster G. H.
Russell will go to Washington tn s lew
days to proto the city's claims for
recognition by the "powers that be"
and to ask for prompt action on the
part s< congwma in providing the ap
propriation for a sits sad for a build
ing sf am pis and scerpUUs propor
tions.
A MO providing for an appropria
tion for thv purchase of a sit* for a
postoffice building eras introduced at
the last tongiess and is now ponding,
hit the plan now to got another bill
before congrats, which will provide
fussysr
Announcement U also made that
tha receipts at tbs local poet office aril]
for the year 191ft ran eoneiderebly
ever the IlOyDOO mark, which la neces
sary before am appropriation for a
federal building can ba secured. This
is tha Irst time in tha history of the
local office when tha receipts reached
this .figure, which indies to* that the
otty has mads and is making stesuiy
program despite the facta of a world
war and a distressingly short cotton
crop tn the county thro year.
it m runner stated that It tbs fiscal
year frotn July 1.1919, te July X, 1917,
shows receipts at $10,000 or more (he
city will he entitled to eity delivery
of malls. And the service, in that
event, will probably be inaugurated
by January 1. 1919. The service would
have at the beginning two carriers,
who would receive salaries of eight or
nine hundred dollars a year. This
fact la in itself cause for congratula
tion, and there la little doubt now that
the city delivery of mails aril] beeusse
a reality In the not distant future.
But to get back to the big Issue—
that of a new Federal building--we
must call attention to another fact
srhieh will have a strong bearing on
the situation here, and that is this:
Laurtaburg now has a Federal court
and that court has no place of Its
own fee bold its amaiona. It la stated
l
bury a Federal building tSat win corn
pan facurably with similar ones in
' the larger teem a.
It is stated that ho poo are now en
tertained that the present congress
will lake action in this matter and
that the appropriations will he made
before this congress adjourns. In
fact that it the program upon which
Mr. Russell and others arc planning
to spend their best energies. How
ever, it Is remembered that the p .'Se
en t session of congress must of ne
cessity be a short one and it is en
tirely possible that no action can be
secured before another congress con
venes. But in that event, it la stated
that an effort will be mad* to get the
ball eroding at this congress at least,
and than prompt action Ts almost sure
to follow at the next one.
Another fact that enters into ths
discussion just here is that the pres
ent Congressman, Hon. B. N. Page,
will not serve this district longer than
the present session of congress, and
that his coco see or. the Hon. Lea D.
Robinson of Wadoabogo, will repre
sent the district in the next congress.
But is is further stated that ff the
present congress does not hood Laur
mburg's claims, then it la believed
that Urn matter aril] b* in splendid
shape for Mr. Robinson to handle and
that he will proceed at oace to push
the measure through and secure the
passage of a bill that win rtv* Laur
inburg sad Scotland oounty an they
aiu^ demanding in the way of a Fsd
AnrwsyYK Is sew believed that the
day it not far distant when Laurtn
botg will bars cause to pride itself
upon the distinction of having ons at
the heat and most eomwedfoua and
beautiful federal buildings In the
State.
