Tho House Committee Thinks . Better Site
Might Have Been Chosen.
WASHINGTON, June A.-The Committee on
Public Lands made their report to the House
to-day upon the investigation in regard to
selection OF q site for public building in
Brooklyn. The report was accompanied by o
resolution declaring that the charge OF corrupt
or colusivo action on the part OF tho Secretary
Of the Treasury or some OF his subordlnstes
had not been sustained, and asking that the
slderation OF the matter. Tho report was laid
over for future action.
The report expresses the difficulty which the
committee experienced In arriving at any con-
clusion as to the value Of the site chosen. The
estimates were from S150.O0O to $450, 900. The
average would be about $500. 900. and this the
committee thinks would be n fair price. While
the committee thinks that tho price agreed
upon is high, It is not prepared to say that it
be good and suitable. some OF them saving that
1t was very suitable" and "emincntly suit
able" Ono called it n fair choice" and one
snid that 1t was as good rs any on the square.
Nine declared tho site to be unsuitable. some
saving that It was very Objectionable. incon-
There was a wide disagreement MS to what
belief that while It was suitable for the pur-
poses contemplated there were others far more
suitable, Either the Dutch Church property,
tho Myrtle avenue property. or the Mechanics
Bank property would DO. In the opinion Of the
committee. preferable to tho location chosen.
