Nelson, postmaster, and postal offi cials. The pro- gram was carried far enough that several tentative sites were submitted. At this time however, it seems that it was the policy of the postal department to locate federal buildings in county seat towns. Since that time postal re- ceipts here have practically dou- bled and many feel that Cottage Grove would be in an excellent position to secure a federal of- fi ce building, even if the present allotment does not materialize.
