Since the decision of the late Attorney General
against tie sufiiciency of the title 10 the Brick
Church property, and the codseqUent Abandonment
OF that property as the site for the POST Office, the
mass of citizens seem 30 have returned with renewed
favor TO tie suggestion made long ago BY THE
TRIBUNE, that the Post. Office should be placed on
the lower end Of the Park, having Beekman street
extended across to Park place. Here is ample
room, at the very point Of confluence for all the
mar streams of city travel, whether BY care, stages
or IN foot; room for building as large az may be
desirable, accessible on all sides. A movement of
this kind, and s'so embracing en- inquiry into the
proprieiy Of tskOg tie Brick Church property into
the Park and widening Nassau street through to
Wal street, Will probably be brought forward in
the Board of Councilmen tonight that being the
body in which all mstters affecting the disposs of

seem to be settled not upon any general views

supports tie others on the condition that the others
shall support it-of which one result among others
is, that in order to satisfy all thu parties to this d.

year after year, to agree to more projects for
