Imagine row Of buildings fronting
the length Of square. five stories in
heighth and nearly as elegant as those
on the site Of Brackets Tavern.
That will be the establishment Of the
Kinney Tobacco Company, if built ac-
cOrding to the plans adopted. They
have bought the half square fronting on
the north side Of Cary between Twenty
fifth and Twenty-sixth streets; they
have the estimates of builders. and
they are ready to 20 to work at once :;
but they ask first that Twenty-sixth
street shall be graded. This cost will
probably be $1,000 or sl.jOO. The
Council will no doubt order the
work to be done. This company
while building for stemmery will
have in view the use hereafter Of a
part Of the building as cigarette
mandatory. 1t is just question
whether they can got cigarette hands
here without interfering with other
cigarette manufacturers.
Their building will probably cost
5000 or 100000.

Our folks nearly all want to know
who is going to be postmaster. No
one here is able to give satisfactory
answer to this often-asked question.
In alphabetical order the candidates
are Major Charles p. Bigger, Colone,
John b. Cary. Major John ii. Clai.
borne. W. II. Cullingworth, Colonel
William S. Gilman. and John NJ. Hig-
gins.
Mr.. Lovenstein's name is mentioned.
but he is not candidate.
The new postmaster will not 90 into
Office until May 18th. but II is believed
that the appointment will be made be-
fore May lst. There are about forty
five places practically at the disposal OF
the postmaster. and as the pay is good
very good, compared with private po-
sitions-the number of applicants is
. large.
The postmaster's bond is $4,000.
The Virginia delegation in Congress-
or rather the Democratic members
thereof-will have another conference
in Washington on Tuesday. There are
several Offices. such as collectors of in
ternal revenue. marshals, and district
attorneys. about which it is necessary
to have concert Of action in making re-
concentrations for appointments.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1885-03-15

Ii Is fairly certain that the new City
Hall will be commenced this year. but
hardly before October. The signs are
that there will be number of first
class competitive plans in for the prizes
which are to be awarded on June lst.
and there rs no reason to doubt that a
suitable plan can be gotten to come in
under $500 900. But one thing is fairly
certain-the cornerstone cannot be laid
OH August 18th, so that it will be i'm
possible to have a celebration OF the
lo0th anniversary Of the laying Of the
cornerstone Of the Capitol along with
the City Hall cornerstone laying.
/, will be no credit to the patriotism
and public spirit Of Richmond IL they
allow the 18th Of August to pass unno-
ticed; something ought to be done to
commemorate the day. II is pity
that the Legislature made no provision
for its observance.
