WANTS To KNOW
What He HOLDS
UNCLE SAM DESTROYS OF LEARN
ING HOW MUCH PROPERTY
HE OWNS IN MISS.

Jackson, Miss, April 24-Uncle Sam
wants to know how much property
he owns in Mississippi. Instructions
have been received by custodians of
public buildings in the various cities
of the State to forward to the treasury
department estimates of the actual
worth of the property in their charge.
The instructions from the treasury de-
partment contain the suggestion that
these custodians secure opinions from
competent real estate men and other
judges of property, before compiling
their estimates.
While Postmaster r. o. Edwards
has not yet forwarded his estimate of
the value of the Federal building here,
realty dealers estimate that the prop
erty is worth fully 100000, while
some place it as high as $250,000. The
site alone is figured at $4,000, being
in the heart of the business district.
When the purchase was made in the
early COS, however, the government
paid only a few dollars for the tract.
The compilation of these estimates
calls to mind the fact that members
of the Mississippi delegation Jared
very badly at the last session of Con-
gress during the pork barrel raid, only
one new public building for this State
being authorized. Members of the
present delegation are now framing
bills carrying appropriations for new
structures which they hope to get
through at the next regular session.

$4,000 FOR
GOOD HIGHWAYS
SPENT IN ROAD BUILDING IN
STATE THIS YEAR.

Jackson, Miss, April 24.-The good
roads movement which has attracted
much attention in Mississippi during
the past three years, has struck Pan
ola county, and the board of super
visors of that county gives notice OF
intention to float bond issue at the
regular meeting in May, in the sum of
$4,000, to be used in the construction
of modern highways and concrete
bridges.
1t is estimated that more than $780,
600 will be spent in Mississippi during
the summer and autumn months of
the current year in the construction
of good roads. In but few instances
have bond issues proposed for this
purpose met with opposition. On the
contrary, much enthusiasm is being
aroused, especially among the farm
ers, who are being thoroughly awaken
ed to the Importance of connecting
farm and market with highways that
can be easily traversed twelve months
in the year.
There will be no contemplation to
the request for an additional 100000
bond issue for the first and fifth
districts of Kinds county, to be used
in completing the system of modern
highways centering in Jackson. When
these roads are completed Hines can
claim the best system of roads in the
State
