The public building bill passed the
house, carrying eight thousand dollars
for Watertown postoffice site.
H. E. Adams.
The above is pleasing news to the
citizens of Watertown, as the bill
as passed carries with it an appropria-
ton of SO, 900 for site for federal
building here. 1t is good start
and means latter appropriation of
perhaps $4,000 or $50, 900 for a post
Office building in this city.
This means an appropriation of
at least $4,000 for a government
building. Many of the residents of
this city have had no faith in the abil-
ity of Congressman Adams to secure
the appropriation for the site. and his
success in securing the appropriation,
demonstrates that he not only is
friendly to Watertown but has indu-
ence with his associates in the House
Of Representatives and with the men,
bers Of the Senate and the President.
By this success the people of this city
regardless of their political utilization
are placed under obligations to Con-
gresham Adams and in the near fu-
ture will have an opportunity to ex-
press their appreciation of his efforts
at the primaries both in this city and
| the adjacent towns, the inhabitants of
which, receive their mail by rural
mail carriers. And in this connection,
it might be we'll to call attention to
the fact, that new man in congress
would not have been as successful as
has been Mr.. Adams in our behalf
and his retention as our representative
means an appropriation for a govern
ment building that will add to the
beauty of the city and convenience of
the people.
A dispatch from Washington to the
Milwaukee Sentinel yesterday gave
the following information relative to
the Wisconsin appropriations:
