Jones at once questioned the necessi- |
ty of passing such an item, believing /
beyond any doubt that the postoffice
will be under the tutelage of the Fed |
eral Government within the next three |
months. He moved to strike out the
item from the bill.
Young: "If by hook or crook wei
should fail to become a direct part of
the Federal Government, we would find
ourselves in very bad fix by not hav-
ing appropriation for the addition to
the postoffice. There Is nothing abso-
lutely certain about the Federal Cow
eminent being extended over us, so
ask that the item remain in the bill.
