What ix Winston-Salem' pleasure in the matter? Shall she accept the $250,000 pub lic building appropriation made at a former session of Congress or wait and take chances in securing an addi tional sum of the sauio amount. Congressman Stedman, of this dis trict, spent the morning here dis cussing with representative citizens what action was deemed advisable. It was decided to appoint a strong committee from the Board of Trade to go to Washington soon after Con- v firnilv rtsohed to Kress convenes auer ui uuiiuujs auu make a thorough Investigation of the situation. Reoresentative Stedman met local II has i-'een quiet and citizens this morning in Secretary 1 1 1. 1 1 1 '.. nmA nml . n . ... t 1. facts in the case, as be expressed it. E FOUND MONEY. He was emphatic In the statement that if the pension bill which passed Ldi Alleged To Haveithe House two weeks ago becomes a law It will play havoc with all new- public building improvements the coming year. Maj. Stedman made it plain that Chairman Underwood, of the appropriation committee, and oth er leaders In the House and Senate would ask that no new bills for pub lic building appropriations be Intro duced at the present session. It is generally understood that the appropriation made for Winston-Salem will be available as It is needed, provided the people here wish to ac cept it. , Of the $250,000, one fifth of the amount was used In the pur chase of the lots fronting on Fifth and Trade streets. This meanB that two hundred thousand dollars remains to be used in enlarging the present postofflce building. It is known that there Is a senti ment for not delaying the matter any longer, provided assurance is given that the proposed additional appro priation cannot be obtained within the next year and that the govern ment will" use the full amount of the two hundred thousand In improving and Enlarging the present Inadequate structure. Others contend that .the wise thing to do is to wait and not accept anything until the Twin-City can get just what Bhe Is entitled to. Definite action in the matter will be left to the committee which will be named to go to Washington for a conference with the North Carolinn Senators and Representatives. In discussing matters this morn ing, Congressman Stedman stated that he not only voted against the pension bill but that he worked against Its passage. He explained, however, that both Senators and Representatives from the Northwest were enthusiastic for it Democrats and,.; Republicans alike. He added that one conserva tive and splendid gentleman from Mis souri made the statement that If he should "tote against ' what many of the Southerners termed a pension grab, he would not be permitted to live in his district, much less enter tain the hope or idea of securing an other nomination and election. In response to an inquiry, Maj. Stedman stated that he was not in position to say whether the pension "grab" bill would pass the Senate, hut. he did feel confident that if it did go through President Taft would not veto It. "Mr. Taft Is a mighty clever man, but he is intent on se curing a renomination,' said the Fifth district representative. Maj. Stedman told the committee this morning that he always stood ready to do all he could for Winston Salem and her interests. He was as sured that the people of this city had the utmost confidence in his sin cerlty and willingness to give his best service in the postofflce and all other matters pertaining to this city's material interests. Representative Stedman returned to Greensboro this morning. -He had planned to ask the present Congress for appropriations for the postofflce buildings at Mt. Airy and Burlington, but with the light now before him he does not see any hope of getting the bills even considered. NEW AGRICULTURAL AGENT FOR SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
