Not MIR. Hays


On April 10 an editorial appeared on this page with
TO post office lease at St. Paul, MINI, and
stated that it was signed by VIII H. Hays. as post
master general. Since then The Herald has received
the following correction Of that statement:
Mr.. Fess. Mr.. President. some time ago I made a
statement with reference to the lease Of the postoffice
at st. Paul. I evidently made an error. I
have here a short letter from the Postmaster General,
which I desire to have read.
The Presiding Officer. Without objection, the let
Ter win be read.
The Chief Clerk read as follows:
The Postmaster General,
washington, May 6, 1880.
Hon. Simeon D. Tess.
United States Senate.
My Dear Senator Tess: In my statement OF April
8. 1880. concerning the two letters on the Commercial
Station, st. Paul, MINI, I said:
"On completion Of the building April 8. 1922, the
lease agreed upon was executed by Postmaster General
VIII II. Hays"
This statement was read into the Congressional
Record by you. I find that. due to the fact that our
files had not been available. this statement was in
error.
Mr.. Hays retired from office March 4. and the first
lease actually was signed on April %, 1922. Conse-
quently Mr.. Hays could not have signed it.
Sincerely yours,

San Antonio Votes a Big Bond
Issue

Mayor c. NJ. Chambers Of the Alamo City put over
his ~s4,s75,oO0 bond issue for public improvements as
well as for the purpose OF giving employment to more
than 5000 idle workers. Mayor Chambers is the head
OF the city-county democratic organization. His bond
proposal precipitated the liveliest row that the Ala
mo City has known in many years.
John Boyle led the opposition to the bond proposal.
He made many speeches urging the voters to vote it
down. 1t was a bear fight from start to finish and
drew to the polling places on election day the largest
number of voters that ever participated in a bond
voting election in Bexar county.
There were 34.s4S ballots placed in the boxes. Those
for the bond issue cast 1925. Those opposed IT,
1913. An official canvass increased the majority for
the bonds to 500. and an ordinance authorizing the
mayor and city commissioners to issue the city securi-
ties was voted at a special meeting following the Of
fetal election canvass.
Mayor Chambers and his followers won the election,
but they were skating on thin ice until all the re-
turns were reported and a scant majority given for
the big public Improvement program.
