BUILDING TO BE SURVEYED G»«raEKRt Will Dctcrne Onf *4 EakrgtKRt of Fftoal BdUkf ia TUs Gy. Congressman Cart Vinson has written Dr. E. A. Tigner, Postmaster, that he has recently called on S. W. Purdom. Fourth Assistant Post master General in connection with the enlargement of the post office building in Milledgeville and that following the visit and conference this subject that the assistant Postmaster General advised that a Federal building survey would be conducted in order that up-to-date information may be on file with the past cCfice anrd treasury depart ments. In the event additional funds for public construction are appropriat ed, it is very probable that tlfe enlargement of the local federal building will be ordered. The bill providing additional appropriation is now pending before Congress. Congressman Vinson stimulated a similar survey about two years ago and recently an inspection has been made of the building, but at the time the survey was made no additional space was recommended by the en gineers who made the survey.
