Uncle Sans peculiar way of do
ing things is exemplified in its re-
cent decision to tear down the post
office at Fort Dodge, a building that
originally cost $4,000 and built only
fifteen years, to make room for a
new structure. The city wanted to
buy the property for a city hall, but
the offer was spurned. The same
thing was done in Cedar Rapids three
or four years ago. A comparatively
new post Office building costing not
less than 100000 was torn down to
make room for a better building, in
spite of good offer made by the city
to buy the property and donate just
as good location elsewhere.
