Reviewing the history OF govern :
mental attempts to acquire the wire
system since 1874 Mr.. Burleson says
that in 1s45 and 1916. the postmaster
recon m ended that they be made a
part of the postal monopoly. The act
of July 4. 1856. and the acceptance by
the telegraph companies OF It's pro-
visions lie pointed to as having given
the United States an option to pur-
chase tie telegraph companies at any
time al their appraised value. the
Moon resolution directs the postmas-
ter general to make this appraisal and
report to congress.
