| IMPROVEMENTS At TIE TREAsuRY.-Under
the direction Of the supervising architec,
great Improvement Ia now In progress on the
south front Of the Treasury, which Is no les,
than that Of reconstructlng the cumbersome
and unsightly approaches to that front
When completed the general finish Of the
south approaches will be similar 10 those o.
the north front, the only difference being
that while there will DO nine steps descending
on tho north side there will be nine steps as
cending on the south. The balustrade will
will be the same on both fronts. The plat
form will be finished with squares OF grant,
and Seneca stone alternated and laid In dla
| mond pattern. The space under the platform
on the south front gained by the change will
give much.noeded room for coal vaults aud
storage places. Those alterations will re-
duce the steps to their proper places and In.
crease the appointed height OF the columns
and the dignity OF the portico. The south
front will then be what the north front would
be II the recommendations Of the supervising
architect, In regard to the grade Of Pennsyl
vania avenue, were carried out. The appear
ance Of the building has already been mate
rally improved by the removal OF the un
slightly gates (Which will be made TO do dut.
on Fifteenth street) with the old fence In
closing the Treasury. We also call atten
ton 10 the great improvement on Fifteenth
street, for which we have to thank the Com
missioner OF Public Buildings and Grounds
Gen. N. Mlchler, and the supervising arch
itect. The cordial manner In which thee
gentlemen have labored together for the i'm
provement Of our city Is worthy not only o
commendatlon but Of Imitation.
