Uncle Sam is much more particular

abstract in consummating the sale of
his property to the government for a
federal building site. He must supply
the deeds as well.
The transfer in title will be brought
about In the near future, and then
there will be nothing for the citizens

government in the matter of letting a
contract for constructing the building.
