Dry Bones Vs. Juicy Bones

The Register says its article about a proposed change of postoffice site, "stirred up the dry bones," at this end of town, and then proceeds in a long article to try and convince itself that the postoffice would make no difference as to the value of property wherever located. If our bones over here are dry, the bones of the other fellows over there appear to be very juicy - right out of the pickling vat, in fact. The fact still remains a fact that to allow the postoffice to remain where it is liarms no one, to move it to the proposed location on Washington street will harm over one-half of the business houses of this city, causing thein to depreciate in value from one-quarter to two-thirds. There are those who believe that any cause that necessitates the pullingdown of others to build itself up is a poor cause, and there is no other way to look at this proposition. One of the Washington street boomers remarked to the writer: "Ann Arbor is in need of a public park, and if we get the postoffice moved then Ann Arbor can secure some cheap lands for park purposes, right in the heart of the city." That expresses the thing in a nutshell, and tells the whole story.
