$4,000 IS GIVEN IN
BILL FOR AMERICUS.
Efforts of Hon. E. B. Lewis
Succeed
AMERIcus TO HAVE a BUILDING
Appropriations Committee TO Report
FavorabIv Upon Mr.. Lewis Effort
to Secure The Sum of $4,000 for
a Postoffice Building.

Americas gets an appropriation OF
$50, 600 from Congress for q postoffce
building as the Jesuit of the continued
effort of our representative, Hon. E. B.
Lewis, and that the bill. will receive
favorable action IN the House there is
but little doubt.
The approximation bill, as reported
to the House by the committee. carries
that amount for Americus for the erec-
ton of a postoffice building, other
towns in the state faring we'll also.
Mr.. Lewis has worked hard to secure
this appropriation, and is coDgratula-
ted upon his success.
The Georgia towns other than Amer
icus are Valdosta and Albany, each of
which are given $125, 900 for public
building to include both postoffics and
federal court accommodations, both
towns having branches of the federal
court.
For this reason the appropriation
recommended for them is, neces-
ssrily, much larger,
Americus being SO very near Macon
and Columbus, both having federal
courthouses, the Government does moi
think it necessary to have branch Of
the court in Americus. But we will
get the $50, 900 postoffice, and hand.

With the republican party in entire
control of affairs the difficulty of 9
democratic member of Congress get
ting an appropriation can we'll be app
preciated. But Mr.. Lewis worked I'M
ceasingIy to that end, and now hopes
for favorable action by the House.
Congressman Lewis passed through
Americas yesterday, going home from
Lumpkin, and expressed qualification
at the favorable report made by the ap.
preparations committee.
