The New Public Building

The statement Of special correspondent
of the Portland Advertiser, relative to the
site of the public building in this city, is in
every respect entirely incorrect From a
letter recently sent by Secretary Manning to
Commissioners Lambard and Manley, it ap-
pears that all the requirements asked for by
the Department were complied with by
Judge Titcomb, the owner of the real estate,
except the defining Of what portion of the
territory the right of way to the land south
was to pass over, and the signing of qui,
claim deed by Col. Thos. s. Lang of Oregon.
These conditions have been complied with,
and the property will be accepted and paid
for by the Government in a few days.
