The subj ct of a public build
ing for Goldsboro is being agitat-
ed. Mayor Geo. e. Hood has re-
ceived from Hon. Daniel Mercer,
chairman of the House Committee
on public buildings, a series OF
Questions to be answered relative
to the location and estab ishment
of a o 1blic building in Go'dsboro.
The claims which Goldsboro can
put forth for a public building
are manys By reason of her splen-
did railroad facilities Goldsboro
is naturally the gateway to thE
East. The establishment Of a fed.
eral court at this point would il
a few years save the government
the cost of the bail ling in mile
age which is sid out now. Every
effort Will be made to secure the
building, and if our claims are
properly investigated We have nj
reason to fear the result.
