u. S. BUILDING
FOR WLLMAR
Congress Approprfates $50,000.00
For a Building and Site For
Government Purposes.

Willmar is to have a government
building, a fine building erected by
the federal government for the use
of the post Office, and possibly for
other purposes. Congressman VOL
stead succeeded in securing an ap-
preparation Of $50, 900 for building
and site. 1t was included in the
Omnibus Appropriation Bill which
was reported last Thursday and
passed by congress last Friday. A
telegraphic message from Congress
man Volstead to Postmaster Crosby
Friday afternoon confirmed the
good news. There has been more
or less talk about a public building
at Willmar ever since the new Sew
enth District was organized, of
which Willmar is the largest city.
Indeed, there had been so much
talk about the same in years past
that when the question was revived
some time ago the people were very
skeptical as to the outcome and
many leading men expressed the
opinion that it would be impossible
to secure such an appropriation at
this time; but our congressman evil
IDENTIFY went at it with a strong
determination to win, and landed
it.
While it is now an assured fact
that Willmar will get the building,
there will very likely be no build
ing operations for some time to
come. The government depart
ments usually act with great delib-
Grafton in such cases. There is the
question of site to be determined
first. It is understood that the
government agent was here not long
ago and secured the prices of sever
al corners as a basis for the govern
ment estimates of what real estate
is worth here. The government
will require a corner lot 1OOx1OO
feet. There are several desirable
corners available and there will
probably be considerable rivalry
among the different locations for
recognition. The matter will be
determined by commissioners sent
here by the government. After the
site has been determined upon and
suitable plans decided upon, the
question of letting contract will
probably determine whether there
will be any great delay or not. In
some cases where the government
has been unable to let buildings on
contract within the appropriation
that fact has held up the building
for a long time. Postmaster Cros-
by, however, is very confident that
with the appropriation of $50, 900 a
building suitable for Willmar can
be erected without trouble. It is
likely that room will be provided
in the building for other govern.
ment purposes, as rooms for the
federal court and possibly other
branches of the federal government.
Congressman Volstead is expected
to arrive in Willmar some time this
weke and will perhaps be able to
furnish further information.
