Novel Depository for Public Documents

GOVERNMENT RECORDS IN TIE PILLARS OF THE NEW
PENSION BUILDING.
Gen. Mefgs, the architect OF the new Pension
building. is carrying out plan In connection
with the building which is somewhat novel. As
is well known, this building will surround a ball
which will have balconies on each floor The
lower balcony is supported on pillars about
seventy in number, and these pillars are made OF
terra Gotta pieces, closely cemented together. In
the lower part OF about twenty OF these pillars a
hole has been left. about six inches in diameter
In the pillars already completed these
holes have been filled with lead cases
containing records OF the various departments
or the government, and papers and docu-
ments which the heads OF the departments may
regard as worthy OF preservation. Gen. Meigs
communicated to all the departments his design
and asked their cooperation, and he has had no
lack OF material. The building, when completed,
Will be. Gen. Melgs thinks, the most enduring OF
any public building In the city. Ii is entirely fire.
proof and built sOlidly, and In the most thorough
manner. At the same time beauty In the design
has not been neglected, and the completed struc-
ture Will present very attractive appeara nce
The building will not be completed until next
year about this time. While 1t was built for the
use OF the Pension office, it is stated that IL will
never be occupied by that bureau, but that the
Secretary OF the Interior will occupy it himself.
In order to do this, permission will have to be OBJ
tained from Congress-
