Bennett 'said that ideally, Provo should have a new federal building to house the post office and other federal agencies.

Bennett said: ."As you know, the 1956 survey . recornmended that the present facility be expanded at a cost of about $500,000 to two stories, and extended so the first and second stories would each have greater floor area than the present one floor has.
