NEW POSTOFFICE
 IN NEAR FUTURE
CONGRESSMAN CARAWAY SAYS ADVERTISEMENTS CALLING FOR BIDS WILL SOON
 APPEAR IN NEWSPAPERS

That the new federal building in Marianna which the government has been promising the city for several years will soon become a reality is evidenced by a message H. M. Jackson has just received from Congressman Caraway as follows
 ''In about two weeks advertise ments will be published calling for bids for the erecton of the new postoffice building in Marianne. Usually these advertisements run abount six week"
 Congressman Caraway has been keeping behind the postoffice and treasury departments for more than two years on the postoffice pro- ject for Marianna Three years ago the government purchased build ing site on the southwest corner of West Main and Church Streets, immediately south of the Courier Index building. Just before this nation entered the war with Ger many an appropriation of $40,000 for the construction of the build ing was passed by congress. Af- ter we entered the war, however. Secretary McAdoo communicated with the officials of the Commercial Club and stated it would be neces- sary to hold up all building pro- jects until after :. the war. Now that the war is over the govern ment has resumed it's building pro- gram. The funds for the construc- tion of the building here were made available in an emergency appro- priation. bill passed by the house last February, but the bill died in the senate when the republican members conducted their filibuster at the close of the session. Since then Congressman Caraway has been busily engaged pressing the matter with the postoffice and treasury de- partments. The telegram sent here this week shows he has been success full in securing favorable action. It is probable additional appropri- ations will be made in order that sufficient funds may be available to erect the character of building planned by the treasury depart ment.
