SUITABILITY OF SITE
BROUGHT INTO QUESTION

Though IT Mas generally thought
that the question as TO the suitability
OF the site had been decided. and that
conflicting opinions n. d At last been
reconciled, the main opposition against
the plan last night was on the ground
that me property at Eleventh and
Main Streets is not suited to post off ce
needs. and that the site is not one
which Will best serve the people.
Against this was urged the arEume mt
| tina; Congress had appropriated $3.50. 900
expressly TO purchase the Elair-Carneal
property, and that representatives OF
the Chamber of Commerce and others
had oecn assured by Senator'S Martin
! and Swanson and by Congressman Mon
/ tngus that the money could not be
| made available for the purchase OF any
/ other site. IT was urged that there
WAS cruergent need for increased facili-
; ties. and that delay Nigh, mean the
failure OF the whole plan.
