THOMPSON OPTICA L INSTITUTE 209-10-11 Corbett Bldg., Fifth and Morrison Portland's Oldest and Largest Exclusive Optical House : 7 TALE IS EXPLODED Seattle Postoffice Site Con demned Months Ago. TIDE NOT REAL REASON Democrats Stir Up Scandal in Ef forts to "Get Something On" Representative Humphrey. , Heal Story Comes Out. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Nov. 3. There are indications that Democratic politicians identified with the Administration intend to build up a scandal around the purchase of a branch postoffice site in Seattle. The first intimation came when a dispatch was received from Seattle the day of Secretary McAdoo's visit, announcing that the Secretary had gone out to in spect the postoffice site which had been purchased by the Government at a cost of $170,000. and had failed of his pur pose because the site was five feet un der water. The story added that the Seattleites explained to the Secretary that "the tide was in." Later records of the Treasury De partment, which partisan officials did not study in their effort' to "get some thing on" Representative Humphrey, show that this postoffice site was con demned by Secretary McAdoo six months ago, not because of its location, but because it is too small. The site is on the tidelands, which today are about as valuable as any lands in the business section of Seattle. It "was bought four years ago, with a view to erecting a branch postoffice ac cessible to the waterfront. Congress reiusea to mane an appropriation for the building, and the Seattle postoffice for the past four years has been obliged to rent quarters to take care of the overflow. Secretary McAdoo found the site was not large enough to meet the present needs, to say nothing of the needs of the future, and ordered It sold. The site was not condemned when Secretary McAdoo visited Seattle, but six months before his visit. Furthermore, property values in the neighborhood of this site have In. creased since that site was bought by me uuvciiunenu Dayton on Two Continental Trails. DAYTON.
