Advertisements Suggested.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ia letter
was received at the General Land
Office to-day making formal APP
plication for the survey by the
government of a portion of the old
Fort Dearborn Military Reserva,
ton as public land. 1t is still SUBJ
ject to entry although it now EN-
braces nearly all the. business por-
tion of Chicago South of the river.
This application Is supposed to be
based upon the theory that the sale
of the greater part of Fort Dear
born reservation by direction of the
Secretary of War in 1887 was not
authorized by the law of 1915, under
which it was ordered. The appli-
cation comes from George Wolf, OF
Freeport, ILL.,, for Louis Ohsendorff
with a view to locating Valentino
scrip upon the lands. 1t is accom-
panied with an enclosure of money
to advance the cost OF the desired
survey.
Postmaster General Key to-day
addressed a letter to Speaker Ran
dali in citing the attention of
the House to the need of a
change In the law regulating
prices to be paid for governm ent
advertising. The Postmaster Gen
eral suggests that the law be
amended so as to allow the pay
ment of such prices as the depart
ment and various newspapers may
agree upon, not exceeding regular
comm ercial rates. He also sug-
gests that In case the department
be not authorized to pay any high
err rates, the law be changed so as
to relieve 1t from the requirement
of advertising the full list of routes,
etc., at the miscellaneous lettings,
instead of which brief weekly no.
tees might be published in not
exceeding ten papers In each Stat 6
and Territory, stating that propos-
ais would be received for carrying
the mails between stated points,
but referring contractors to the
Second Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral for all details.
