P. 0. BUILDER HERE
MAKES PROMISE OF COMPILE.
TTON OF BUILDING-THINKs
THINGS WILL CHANGE
FOR BETTER.

THE new postoffice will probably
be ready for occupancy about the
middle of January, or not later than
February l." VIM. O'Neill, of VIM.
O'Neill & Son. Faribault, Mimi,
builders of the new p~ostoffice build
ing in Madison, said today to a Daily
Leader reporter. Some of the mill
work for interior finishing is being
installed, and most of the rest is in
transit. Procuring materials has
given us some trouble. But the work
of the mills has not held us up near
ly so much as has transportation.
Getting the stuff into Madison is the
problem, which, happily, we have
just about finished" he stated.
Mr.. O'Neill commented favorably
on the appearance and condition of
the town, with special mention of the
quality of our new paving. He said
that we were fortunate in getting 1t
when we did, and that large expendi-
lures would not be made in the i'm
mediate future. He said that his
firm had many other buildings under
construction, but they we're on more
direct lines or closer to the markets
and centers of transportation.
OF the transportation situation and
timidity of the financial conditions,
Mr.. O'Neill takes an optimistic view,
and is of the opinion that it will not
continue for long. When asked up
on what he based his opinion, wheth-
er, as a large consumer of materials
or as a patron of transportation lines
he had any information, he said that
he had not. His attitude was one oil
personal feeling only.
