Government Building and City
Delivery in the Near
Future

Congressman Gambler stopped
over on his way to Aberdeen
Monday to confer with the post
master here about the establish
ment Of city delivery. He stated
that just as soon as the town au-
thorities complied with the reg
ulations governing such matters,
viz: finishing up all side walks,
putting in street crossings, num-
bering the houses, that he would
use his influence to have this ser
vice inaugurated at once. The
receipts of the cffice as shown
from the following have reached
the point that we are now en-
titled to said service whenever
the foregoing requirements are
complied with.
The receipts as shown by the
records of the office for the year
ending June 80, 1899, were
S3,415, 13; the receipts for the
year ending June 80, 1909, are
$11. 1889.
This does not include the mon
ev order business but just simply
the receipts from the sales of
stamps, stamp paper and box
rent.
Congressman Gambler stated
that he felt pretty confident that
he would get a bill through at
the coming session of Congress
appropriating 100000 for the
erection of public building here
in Tupelo for the use of the post
office. He stated that be got an
appropriation for Curinth and
felt like that he would be able
to set a like appropriation for
Tupelo.
The Postmaster states shat he
has been called on by the archi-
tect for the Treasury Depart
ment to furnish certain infor-
nation relative to the needs of
the Office, that is, the receipts
which are given above, also the
estimated receipts and floor
space which would be required
for the use of the Office ten years
hence. Congressman Gambler
introduced a bill at the last ses-
sion of Congress asking for an
appropriation for 100000 for the
erection of the building. The
introduction Of this bill is re-
sponsiole for the Department
calling on the Postmaster for
the information above mention
ed.
The work on the sidewalks is
practically completed and the
city authorities will, very soon
begin to relay street crossings
where they have been torn up
and will doubtless put them in
where they have been needed.
With this work completed there
is practically nothing between
us and general delivery which
we feel assured in saying, will
be forthcoming.
There are a number of other
places enjoying this convenience
furnished by the government
and Tupelo should have it.
