Bosone Answers Criticism of Postoffice Beauty Utah Congresswoman Reva Beck Bosone was asked to comment com-ment upon recent criticism of Orem new postoffice building. Her statement follows: I have been asked by the Orem-Geneva Times to make a statement about the new Orem Post Office. Many people are under un-der the impression that it is a Federal Post Office building, and are disappointed that it is not a larger and more impressive impress-ive structure. The new Orem Post Office is not a Federal buildinz. but was privately constructed, and has been leased to the Post Office Department for a ten year period, per-iod, What happened is this. The lease ran out on the quarters in the Citv Hall which were be ing used by the Post Office De partment. Since your fast-grow-ine community had obviously outgrown the City Hall quarters, quart-ers, I requested that an inspector be sent out to see what the needs were. As a result, the Post Office Department advertised adver-tised for bids on larger quarters, quart-ers, and accepted a bid from F. S. Davies for quarters he was to provide on the West side of North State Street, between Center and First North. That is the building which is now being be-ing completed. I wish it were possible to say that a Federal building could be authorized for Orem, but the Federal Government is not buildins any new post offices at this time, and has not built any since before the war- A bill was passed last Congress providing provid-ing for the acquisition of a limited lim-ited number of post office sites, so construction work could be started quckly should there be a lull in the building industry, but no Federal Post Office buildings build-ings are actually being constructed construc-ted anywhere in the United States at this time. The new leased post office quarters are the best that can be hoped for at the present time-Many time-Many of the towns in the Second Sec-ond Congressional District are now eligible for Federal Post Office buildings and, believe me, if I am re-elected I will do the best I can to get Federal buildings in the towns where they are most needed.
