Resolution
Urges Fourth
Street Site
GOVERNMENT ASKED TO
BUY NEUSCHWANDER,
FLINN-COLE LOTS !

Action on Redwood Falls new
postoffce is expected as the re-
suit of a resolution urging pur-
chase of the Flinn-Cole and Neu-
schwander site, passed by a re-
preventative group of citizens at
a meeting in the Civic and Com
merce clubrooms Friday night.
Frank Clague, chairman of the
new postoffice committee, receiv-
ed letters from Senator Henrik
Shipstead and Congressman II.
Carl Andersen Wednesday after
noon, telling him that they had
received copies of the resolution
and assuring him that they would
take prompt action on the matter.
Other copies went to Senator
Ernest Lundeen, the federal post
office department, the treasury
department and the Federal
Works administration.
The resolution asserts that the
building now being used as a
postoffice lis unsanitary, too small
and wholly unfit for poStoffice
purposes" and that "the postoffice
department has determined that
Redwood Falls is entitled to a new
postoffice building and the gov
eminent has made an appropria-
ton for the same"
The site selected by postoffice
inspectors twas and is favored by
the great majority of the people
and patrons" of the Redwood
Falls postoffice and has been duly
condemned, the petition argues.
1t respectfully requests that the
Flinn-Cole and Neuschwander
properties at Washington and
Fourth streets be purchased.
