Dallas postal building deal may cost taxpayers dearly
Washington reports the Dallas post office site deal, brokered by Jacob Culp & Co of Chicago for 300000, would lease to the government for ten years at 59000 annually, netting about 599000 to the firm while Uncle Sam holds the bag. President Coolidge may back a sane public buildings program with a bond issue of up to 150 million over six years, targeting Texas cities for new federal buildings amid existing congestion. The piece traces past warnings by Work and Mellon and notes Houston San Antonio Fort Worth and Beaumont as potential sites with Dallas likely excluded due to the makeshift solution.
