Prompt Erection of New Post
office Building Assured.
A Site in Middle of the 900
Block Is Favored.

With the return to Washington last
night of F. L. Clampitt, special inves-
igator for the supervising architects
of the federal government business
men of North Topeka are confident
that action will be taken toward erect
ing the proposed new postoffice in
North Topeka at once. Mr. Clampitt
spent Wednesday on the North Side
and. i. company with Capt. A. NJ. Full
Ter, inspected the various sites that
are on the market.
Mr. Clampitt's visit to North To-
peka was an emergency call and con-
sequently lends strength to the ru-
NOR that the way is being cleared for
the final selection of location for
the new federal building and an inn
mediate start on its construction
Dopesters on the North Side sift the
location for the new building down to
two sites. They are the Adams prop
erty on the southwest corner of Cor
don and Kansas avenue and site just
north of the Morns and Myers grocery
store, which is on the northeast cor
uer of North Kansas avenue and
Laurent streets. The latter property is
an inside location, but according to
dope artists, its chances for becoming
the sit for the new North Side sta
tion are better than any of the others
that are being considered
The site north of the Morns and
Myers property would give the gov
eminent a frontage of 125 feet The
proposed building will be 40 feet by
so feet. it is said. The building would
then be more than AZ feet removed
from any other structure.
