Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1855-02-28

The warning Of yesterday was stunning one,
indeed; and in view Of the fact that FIRE in
either Of the half . dozen public buildings in
Washington could not cost the Treasury, from
FIRST to last, less than from ten to thirty mil
lions Of dollars, We again entertain the hope
that the members of both Houses will realize
the Importance of at once appropriating one
or two hundred thousand dollars for the con-
tinuation Of the work on the Washington
aqueduct. ---- --
