Government seeks Goshen site for federal building
A Washington dispatch reports the government faces trouble buying a Goshen site for a federal building. Four Lincoln avenue and Sixth street parcels total 5175, valued at 4,800 but offered as high as 19,000, jeopardizing a building plan for Goshen. Senator Beveridge urged higher appropriations, but the bill failed. Major Brackett favored the four lots as closest to rail and mail cost savings.
