61st CONGRESS, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DOCUMENT
3d Session. No. 1396.
POST OFFICE AND COURTHOUSE, DAYTON, OHIO
LETTER
FROM
THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY,
TRANSMITTING
AN ESTIMATE OF APPROPRIATION FOR POST OFFICE AND COURTHOUSE AT DAYTON, OHIO.
FEBRUARY 21, 1911,--Referred to the Committtee on Appropriations and ordered to be printed
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
Washington, February 20, 1911.
Sir: The building bill for 1908 authorized the extension of the post office and courthouse at Dayton, Ohio, but it was subsequently decided that such an extension would not meet the needs of the city, and the bill of 1910 modified the previous legislation and authorized the purchase of a site and the construction of a new building. This building will be a replica of that erected at Grand Rapids, Mich., the area, population, and requirements of the two cities being almost identical, thus making it possible to begin the construction immediately without the preparation of new designs. I have, therefore, earnestly to recommend that the following item be included in the deficiency bill:
Dayton, Ohio, post office and courthouse: For commencement of the building, twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000).
Respectfully, FRANKLIN MacVEAGH,
Secretary.
THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
