declaring In favor Of the purchase Of the square
bounded by 9Th, 7th and streets and Louisi-
ana avenue, as q site for q new building for the
city post office and municipal building for the
city OF Washington, and directing Mr.. wilkins,

Ia the one now occupied by the city post Office,

vide that q SUM not to exceed $4,000 shall
be paid for the property, and that a sufficient
amount OF money be appropriated to construct
Q fine building suitable to be occupied by both
the city post office aud the municipal Offices.
The committee think this In every way
the best adapted and most economical site pro-
posed. 1t Is In the business center of the city,
convenient to the lines Of street cars and to the
depots, and presents O fine outlook tor build
ing such as they contemplate erecting. The
entrance on street furnishes the best facility
ior load1ng and unloading the mail wagons, and
the faces on Louisiana avenue and 7th street,

1t Is expected that there will not be any very
great opposition to the bill in the House, as the
necessity for . city post office here is conceded.
