LAUGH WAS ON THE PASTOR

In the Pulpit

Coffeyville, Kan, Feb. 14.--A
well-known pastor here on a recent
rainy Sunday turned up his trousers
and trudged to church. Being Of an
nature he forgot to
turn them down on arriving at the
church. His good wife from her pew
noticed the trouble and dropped a
note into the collection basket. The
pastor took the note, thinking II was
a notice, and read aloud:

should the city desire to place, in the

NV dear Congressman:

My dear Congressman:
My reference from the First AS
sistant Postmaster General, acknowl'
edgment is made of your letter Of De
cember Itch, last, and the letter from
your Secretary, dated the 23rd ulti'
mo. forwarding communication
from Mr.. G. G. Rogan regarding the
pcyment by the Government Of the
cost of certain street lighting in Ten
nessee Avenue in front Of the Fed
eral building at Lakeland, Florida, In
connection with the extension Of the
white Way" in said city.
While the Department realizes the
desirability of the Improvement re-
ferred to, it regrets that there Is no
appropriation under its control which
is available to pay any part OF the
cost Of such street lighting. This
same position has been taken in the
mast in connection with requests OF
a similar character.
The Department does not claim the
right to exercise Jurisdiction beyond
its own lot lines and there is no ap'
preparation under its control which is
available for placing lights outside
the boundaries of the Federal build
ing site. Under the practice which
has been of such long continuance as

beipg assumed to have taken cog

Working on White
Way Project For
Tennessee Avenue

Mr. G. C. Rogan is working on the
project of extending the white way
on Tennessee avenue from the new
postofiice building to the railroad
crossing. He has assurances Of co.
operation from the railroad and from
the property owners located on the
portion of the avenue mentioned, and
he also took up the matter with Con
gressman Drane, hoping to get the
government to stand the expense OF
installing the white way fixtures In
front of the post-offlce property. II
appears that this can not be done,
because there is no appropriation
from which funds could be used for
such purpose. The correspondence
on the subject follows
