an ideal location. To begin with it is
large enough 10 meet the require
ments. 1t is on the street which has
been ''post-ofice street. since Dick
inson was Dickinson. 1t is lear enough
to the depot to insure free mail del;v-
cry at the post-ofice by the railroad.
1t is central and this should be con-
sidered in a building of this kind.
Dickinson is growing more rapidly
toward the west than in any other
direction and any attempt to locate
the federal building las of First Ave.

especially from the south side, and
more as the years 20 by. Business, too,
moves back from the Railroad as towns
grow larger and nowhere is it customary
to locate a fine federal building very far
down town. Think yer the cities you
know and see if you find the govern
ment post-ofice within a block of the
depot and freight yards. Business
houses can move back as business de-
velops. but a federal building once
erected is a fixture.
An analysis of Monday even ing's
vote is interesting. The presidents of all
three banks favor No. 9 as do a major
ity of the directors. Roquette Br 49,.

Germany are some of the business and
professional men and business houses
voting for No. 9-the Elk block site,
according to the tally sheets taken Mon.
day night, now a part of MIR. Trott'
report to the department at Washington.
Most of the support originally given
to the site north of the Oukrop black
smith shop was transferred Monday
night to the Wiley site and the lists
show the following business houses and
professional men voting No. Il: kim
Hotel. st. Charles Hotel. Berringer Bros.
Dickinson Nero. Co.. George Wolf, Franz
Ray. John Bouleer, T. N. Hartung,
Frank Kostelecky, c. H. Wiley. Drs
Perkins. and Beach. Attorney Blanchard,

The people of South Dickinson almos'
to a maa united on No. 9 while the
German people of the eastern part Of
the city naturally voted for the eas
site. A subway will be built some time
and will undoubtedly be constructed OF
the section line-Third Ave. W. (olc
Cross street, and the south side people
rightly reasoned that a post-office in the
Elk block would be more convenient
than farther east.
Another analysis of Monday night
vote more in detail than the above
shows, voting foe No. 9. 6 not known.
SO from South Dickinson, us from the
north side. The north side vote alone
for No. 9 was more than three times
the total vote for the Wiley site. Taken
Individually, 81 business and Drofes-
sional men voted for No. 9 and II fol
the Wiley site or No. IL.
Inspector Trott stated that he was
satisfied the vote Monday night was q
representative one. He has also assured
the people that his report will show the
water works system, extensions and
dates thereof, all public buildings. bust
ness houses. etc. With all these data
ut hand and the expressed wish of the
people. if the department wishes to be
fair there can be no question as to
location-the federal building on site
No. 9.
