During Recent Session of Congress Representative Webb Secured 'Ad ditional $20,000 for Gastonia' Federal Building. A circular letter from Congress man E. Y. Webb of this the ninth district -has been received by Mr. Webb's local constituents this weeK , relative to the post office appropria tion for Gastonia. For the benefit of Gazette readers we give the let ter In full below. It reads as fol lows: Washington, D.'C, March 10. Dear Sir and Friend: I am pleased to be able to tell you that I secured the passage, through the Congress just ended, of a bill in creasing the appropriation for the Gastonia postofnee building in the sum of $20,000. v The original bill carried $65,00o for building and site. The site cost $14,600, which left only $50,500 for the building. This amount was thought entirely inadequate to build a proper and creditable structure for a splendid, growing city like Gastonia. Hence I went to work at once to get a larger amount and of course i am greatly pleased at se curing it. , You win now have a Federal building which will cost $70,500, and will be one of the prettiest and best postofflce build ' ings in the whole country. It is very gratifying to me that I have been able to render this service to a city, whose citizens have been so good to me. With best wishes, your friend, E. Y. WEBB. Ai is generally known the de partment has already purchased a eite for the postofflce building, namely the "park" space on Main avenue which was owned partly by the city and partly by the Southern Railway. Whther any portion of the appropriation Is available for use in commencing on toe structure this year It not . definitely known here but oar citizens are anxiously awaiting some definite Information aa to this matter. Congressman Webb has been tireless in his effort to secure this building for Gastonia and the citizens of the town, Irre spective of political creed or affilia tion, are deeply grateful to him tor bis work tn onr behalf.
