Show I Treasury Recommends 1 Bingham Post Office For the past eight years Bingham Bing-ham Kiwanis has been on the trail of a. Postoffice building for this j distrlrt, the need for which has been perfectly obvious. This matter has lieen brought up before each session of Congress i during this long period -but to no 4t avail. However, In 1028, it was y brought to a point where an ln-vetlgatlon ln-vetlgatlon was made by a representative repres-entative of the Treasury Department Depart-ment aial several tentative sites were selected Early In 1030, Senator Smoot advised ad-vised Mr. George Earl, then President Pres-ident of Kiwanis that this matter would surely go thru at that time together with the appropriation for a similar building at Cedar City, but in the pressure of more important Government affairs, somehow or other it fell thru. Now, the question Is again being pressed upon Congress thru Senator Senat-or Smoot and Congressman Loof-!srrow. Loof-!srrow. Mr. Jos. A. Borden, President Presi-dent of Kiwanis Is advised by Telegram, Tele-gram, February 20th, as follows: "Have procured approval of Budget Bud-get to estimate of seventy thousand thous-and for Bingham Canyon postoffice. I'resident has signed same, and for-" for-" warded to the Senate. Regards' UEED SMOOT. We certainly hoi that Senator Smoot will be able to secure favorable fav-orable action on this matter at an early date, for not only would 8uch - a building till a great need in this town but. construction work now or in the near future would help Immensely Im-mensely In ihe much needed employment em-ployment of labor. Word lias been received that the Treasury department and the hud-get hud-get bureau at Washington, D. C. have recommended an appropria-f appropria-f , tion of $75,000 for a new postoffice I building and site for Bingham, t' i . It was understood Blnghum was i f Included In the public building I program wllh SaffLake, Price and I Cedar City, approved more than a j year ago, hut It now seems such was not the case. According to the I report, when Senator Smoot be- i came aware of this he conferred immediately with the treasury department de-partment and officials regarding the recommendation and will urge Jfr the adoption of an amendment to . the public buildings bill which will include Bingham in its program. |
