OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
SENATOR BURTON ASKS APPRo-
" PRIATION FOR ABILENE.
Bill Introduced Authorizing Purchase
Of Site and Erection Of Federal
Building Prosperity Of the City
Demands It.

Senator Buiton has introduced
bill in the United States senate
authorizing an appropriation of 500,
900 for the purchase OF site ant
erection OF a Federal building at abb
lene.
The continued growth and pros
perity OF the city have been brought to
the attention OF the government and
the chances are good for the capture
Of great civic prize. 1t will be the
greatest good fortune ever experienced
by the city.
The bill will probably be passed.
Senator Burton's influence will do 1t
and will also make him Abilene's
benefactor. A Federal building adds
more to a city than paved streets or
large local institutions. they can
come at any time; but a government
building is badge OF national dis
friction and can only be obtained by
a special act Of congress.
With a Federal building, Abilene
will have a rosy future before her
and there will be nothing too good
for the maF who brings it to u.s. The
city will take a higher rank in the
state and more important place be-
fore the public.
