TEXAS POST OFFICE BUILDINGS.

Other Small Towns Getting Them
--Why Not Marlin?
-----
A dispatch
from Washington says that the secretary of the treasury department has selected
sites for the new buildings at Gonzales and Eagle Pass, for which
appropriations have been made by Congress of $50,000 each. The Gonzales
building will be placed on a beautiful plot of ground 130x130 feet and the Eagle
Pass building on a lot of 150 square feet.
Gonzales
and Eagle Pass are good towns, grant you, but neither one of them is a better
town than Marlin, and neither of them is of the commercial importance that
Marlin is.
Why are
they recognized? Because people interested there have pressed their claims
to the government. As a consequence two beautiful buildings are to be
erected and maintained by the government in those towns.
We dont
doubt that Marlin people will urge their claims at the proper time and that
those claims will be recognized in due time. Why not?
