| THE SACRAMENTO PosToFFIcE BuL.-A
dispatch from Washington. dated March 5.h,
says: MIR. Brettung, of the House Com.
mittea on Public Buildings and Grounds, has
made favorable report upon G!ascock's bill
appropriating 100000 for Government
building at Sacramento. The committee re-
ported substitute for the original bill, which
authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury 70
select site and construct building suffi-
| GENTLY large to accommodate the POstofiic5,
| land Office, Internal Revenue and Signal
| Offices now located in that city. The report
| accompanying the bill recognizes the fact that
| Sacramento is the capital Of California, that
| the public building belonging to the Govern
nent is at present inadequate for ihe accom-
mediation of its offices, though an annual
rental of $4,000 is paid. The report also
states that during 1882 the Government ofi-
ces located in Sacramento transacted business
amounting TO 500. 1S9, and during 1888 BUSH
! ness amounting to SS4, S32. The committee
remarks that this increase shows something
| should be done about public building i'm
uediately. Appended TO the report is .
statement showing that thu Postotfice officials
at Sacramento during the last year delivered
400, $50 letters, collected postage on LEGAL
letters amounting to 81, S64 delivered 351, 975
newspapers and collected 500, 92S letters. The
committee adds that an ofiice doing this bust
ness should have better quarterTthan those
provided at present. The bill was placed on
the House calendar and will probably pass"
