ANOTHER SITE FOR POSTOFFICE

Options Secured on Property for that Purpose

IS ON MAIN STREET

Strong Arguments Being Prepared in Its Favor - Maps, Etc., will be Forwarded to Washington

The advices from Washington that the authorities had about decided on a site for Ann Arbor's public building may be in the main true but still there are evidently those is the city who do not think the jig is all up yet and that by proper effort the department might be induced to see that some other site, than those which were bid upon, would be the proper one for the department to purchase.

At least this would be the inference from certain movements that have been made in the past few days. It has developed that options have been secured on certain valuable Main street real estate which, the promoters believe, will present to the department far better facilities for a public building than any of the sites yet offered, and yet will be more accessible and acceptable to residents of the city than any other. The gentlemen who are behind this scheme are preparing maps showing the availability of the site, its proximity to the center of population and business and its general desirability in view of the future growth of the city. These with the many arguments and petitions in favor of their scheme they will forward to Washington at once.
