The bill passed the House of Re-

Goth. There has been some uncer-
tainty here as to whether Lexins-
ton was included in the Senate
bill, until yesterday the matter was
set at rest by the reception OF the
following telegram from the repre-
sentative from this district:
Washington, D. c., May 25, '0S
TIE LEXINGTON GAZETTE,
Lexington, Va.
Lexington was in public building
bill for 100000. The bill passed
the House, the Senate and the Con-
ference Committee 1t is safe.
H. d. FLOOD.
This telegram from Mr.. Flood
gives us every assurance that the
bill will become law, and that
Lexington will, in the course OF
events, enjoy the privileges OF
public building.
The history of this movement
for a public building is not general
ly known and for this reason we
desire to state some of this infuen-
ces brought to bear upon the situa'
ton. About two years ago the
needs of a public building in Lex
ington were discussed by DR..
George H. Denny and Postmaster
McClung Patton, with the result
that later DR.. Denny wrote to MI.
Flood, our efficient representative
in Congress from this district, and
urged upon him the needs of the
town in this respect. MIR. Flood
replied to DR.. Denny's communica'
tion and the matter was taken up
with Postmaster Patton, who gath
cred such information that he
thought would be of use i'll pre-
senting the claims of Lexington.
Subsequently former Mayor WalA-
er, Mr.. Paul NJ. Penick and other
gentlemen Of Lexington received
letters from Mr.. Flood similar to
the one written to DR., Denny. In
terest was becoming aroused and
the probability of a public build
ing here was freely discussed.
Postmaster Patton was requested
to furnish the department with
specific information, which he did.
Letters came from Mr.. Flood urg-
ing the town to send q committee
to confer with mem bers OF the
Committee on Appropriations, and
the following gentlemen visited
Washington for that purpose in
March: DR. Denny, Col. E. W.
Nichols, Messrs. Greenlee D.
Letcher, Paul Nj. Penick and
Postmaster Patton. Mr.. J, Med.
Adair, who was mort h at that time,
also stopped in Washington and
met some members of the com nit
tee. The Lexington delegation
returned satisfied that their mis-
sion had accomplished something,
and subsequent events proved this
to be true.
The question Of situation of the
building is an important one.
Nearness to the depot and conven'
ience of approach are requirements
insisted on oy the department. A
number of sites have already been
suggested, but nothing definite
agreed upon, of course. The.only
fear is that the high prices asked
for available locations may force
the building to some undesirable
site. Cooperation should pc had
with the government, because the
establishment of the building will
enhance the value of surrounding
property.
