They will be for rent. The buildings will be of concrete blocks, and work will begin at once, the contract for their erec- ton having been let to J. W. Car ter. The contract which Messrs. Dodson and Renner have with the government is tar a period of ten years from August 1, but 1t Is hardly probable that the build ing will be ready for occupancy by that time. According to the terms of the contract these gentlemen are to furnish the building, light, tuel and fixtures.
 New fixtures will be purchased, costing not less than 5000, and the office so arranged that pat rons having lock boxes may enter al any time and get their mail. In other words, tie post office will remaIn open 565 days and nights each year.
 The new building and the new fixtures will give Springdale q post office that will be in keeping with the importance of the town.
 
 While the location will not, as a matter of course, suit every one The News believes 1t will be sat isfactory to a larger number of business men than any other site that could have been chosen, be- ing practically ii the center of the business part of town.
 Now that the post office matter has been settled and IS no longer d bone of contention, let every body get together and lets pull for cold storage, water works and electric lights.

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1906-04-18

The movement for municipal
water supply in San Francisco is a
good one, and in line with the steadily
growing sentiment in this country for
public ownership of public utilities.
But while the present grating Admin
istration of that city remains in power
the prospect is that the. acquisition
and construction of municipal water
works will be about as corrupt job
as was ever known to Philadelphia or
any other city notorious for corrupt
government.
This however, is no reason why San
Francisco should not go ahead with
the water undertaking as many other
Cities are doing and also with the
Geary-street railroad. One of the best
effects of public sentiment actively
hostile to grating and all other forms
of political corruption. And even
mere important is the removal of the
greatest source of corruption in our
American cities. which is the owner
ship of public utilities by private cor
poratiOns. So long as private owner
ship of gas, water. electricity and
street-car lines continues, city Off
Gals will be subject to corrupting

Two per cent bonds to raise funds
to construct the Panama canal will
be sold by the Secretary of the
Treasury early in the summer. The
total amount to be sold is s135 ,00O, 000
The amount to be sold within the

which will be enough to carry en- the

parent The Chronicle (the ablest
and most influential Republican
journal in the State), says there is
free money in the treasury subject
to appropriation to the amount OF
$2.l 500, 075, with our revenue eX
eedng our expenditures. OF this
great sum $76,350722 was lying in
it because we have no use for it. The
banks are lending it and receiving
interest on it, which Congress lets
them keep.
"Such financiering may we'll be
called frenzied,' says the Chronicle.
1T is a financial orgy. 1t is not only
wretched financiering, but it is wretch
ed politics. Sooner or later some
party will be smart enough to hit
upon economy and debtpaying as a
national issue, and our history ought
to remind our alleged statesmen that
there can be no stronger plank in
any political platform. To borrow
money while more than 800. 100000
of money in ecess of an ample work

and in banks is a financial crime
which is at any time liable to be
punished"
