Show $50,000 FEDERAL BUIDING FOR LOGAN I - i U House Grants Congressman Howell's Request for Big Appropriation. H City and County Has Just Reason for Congratulation. H I At 3 o'clock yesterdry afternoon a telegram from Congress man Joseph Howell announced that the omnibus public building bill passed the House carrying an item of $50,000 for j a public building at Logan. This means that sometime with-fi4B. with-fi4B. in the near future Logan postoffice conveniences will be in- creased by a handsome $50,000 building, and most naturally Logan people and the entire citizenship of the county will feel elated at the news. Following the issuance of a Rkpuhucan herald or "special" "spe-cial" announcing the fact, many expressions of pleasure , and words of praise for Mr. Howell were heard. Thk Rkpuhucan at different times in recent months has detailed Congressman Howell's efforts to secure this appropriation appro-priation for his home town, and cited his confidence that the appropriation would finally be granted. Few thought it possible, pos-sible, however, and the news comes to most as a genuine surprise, sur-prise, a most pleasant one. The final passage of this appropriation appro-priation would seem to indicate that Congressman Howell's influence at Washington is not as insignificant as the Democratic Demo-cratic and American press of this State would have us believe. be-lieve. It goes without saying that many appropriations asked for were cutout by the committee in charge and by the House in final action on the bill, and it is certain that many special appropriations asked by other Congressmen were turned down. That Congressman Howell was able to pull H his desired appropriation through is unquestionably highly jH creditable to him, and Logan and Cache county can not and IH certainly will not do less than extend the fullest mead of jH praise. Thk Rkpuhmcan extends to Congressman Howell IH hearty congratulations on the success of his efforts, and to jH the city and county on the acquisition of this splendid gif t ' H at his hands. The next question is, where will the new building be lo- jH cated? No doubt various interests would like to have it in jH certain places, and without doubt there will be some interest- H ing developments before the matter is finally settled. H |
