No East. No West, End.

Sl.s EDITOR 4NOlItlHS
the various comments on the location
of the federal building, while some of
them are good, others are fired before
they are fired upon. Marshalltown peo-
pie are known for their unity of action
and fairness of judgment. There should
be no east or west end in the matter OF
location. Extremes in any direction
ought not to be offered or considered.
No real estate speculation or personal
interest, political pull or Doodle should
determine the postoffice location. In
asmuch as it is for all the people. its
officials and servants, the carriers. it
should be located west of First avenue,
east of First street, south of State
street and north of Church street. Aside
from a few, whose judgments are con-
trolled by self interests, there are a
very few who would say that the To-
cation in the district above named
would not be a fair and equitable one.

Messrs. Calhoun and Smith Ex-
press Their Views-Unex-
ampled Public Interest.
Central Location vitality Neces.
sary for Future Good OF
the Town.

Few questions have aroused the pub
lie interest in Marshalltown that is be-
ing shown in the location of the postof-
flee building to be erected for the gov
ernment's recent appropriation of $S5,-
600. Two communications from citi-
zens are presented today. Mr.. w. III.
Calhoun suggests the calling of a mass
meeting to furnish an expression of
public sentiment, which is not a bad
idea. The Commercial Club is the
proper body to call such a meeting, and
doubtless would do so if petitioned by u
number of citizens.
There are a number of sites available
but public sentiment SO far ascertained
seems a unit in favor of some site fac
ing the court house square. Property
holders in that locality are so unreal
sonable in their demands that it now
looks as tho the selection would be
forced to some of the cheaper sites in
the east or west ends of town, where
business men are ready and eager to To-
cate the new postotfice because OF their
personal and property interests. There
are one or two sites around the court
house square that are available and a
concerted public movement might sue
coed in locating the building there re-
CARELESS of the Very low offers made
and yet to be made on sites in other
parts of town. 1t will be useless, how
ever, to ask the government to pay
more than the Is per cent limit estab-
lished in the appropriation law by con-
gress. The T.-R. sincerely hopes that
something may be done to locate this
building in the center of town. where
its advantages will be fair to all citi-
2ens alike. Nothing would do more to
silence the growth of east and west end
factionalism than the location of
magnificent postotfice building between
Center street and First avenue as
common center about which the whole
city could gather in one united and
happy business family. IL

Editor Times Republican,: 1t occurs

of his east or west end controversy
enter into the location of our postotfice.
Yet if this must be the issue, the west
end has the advantage by all odds, from
the fact that the city is substantially
cut off from going farther east by Linn
creek and by the low and overflow lands
il, that direction; also cut off from go
ing south by Linn creek and the rail-
way tracks. Therefore the natural
growth of the city will be west because
of high and most desirable grounds for
the best and most desirable improve
ments. Considering these facts and that

the Soldiers Home, also noting the eX-
tension of the city to the southwest.
thus throwing its center about where
the old City Hotel stood. that site or the
A. c. DAILY property would be about as
central a location at the present time
as any -perty proposed 1t would
grow more central every year, as the
city must and will grow west. No one
will dispute this, and much more can
fbe said in favor of a west end location.
While l am a west end man l favor
putting public buildings in public
places, therefore / suggest putting the
federal building anywhere so it faces
the public square, on the east, west or
south side. 1t is my opinion that this
location meets the approval of so per
cent of the patrons of the office unless
they have lot to sell or an ak to
grind.

STATE SANlTARIUM
Is BEING ENLARGED

MILLEDGEILLE, Ga, June 10.-One Of
the twin buildings at the State Sanitarium'
which are being constructed to accommo-
date patients now in the jails of Georgia,
is rapidly nearing completion. The
legislature. at the session before the last,
appropriated S15O,OOO for the construction
and finishing of these two buildings. OF
this sum, $4,000 was reserved for furnish
ings and the remainder used In construct
ing the buildings, making the actual cost
Of each building $4,000. The foundations
for the second building are just being
laid and the work on it will be pushed
as rapidly as possible These buildings
are what is known as the radiating type,
and represent the most modern ideas con-
corning sanitarium buildings. They will
be most admirably adapted for the pur-
pose for which they are intended, and
will be quite an addition to the already
splendidly equipped plant The Georgia
State Sanitarium is at present the larg-

buildings will make 1t rank among the
