and nearly nine hundred other citiz ms OF
Savannah protesting against the Sc lection
OF the site picked out by Special Agent
Anstett for the new Federal building and

recommendation OF Mr.. Anstett have
been suspended until the Attorney Gen.
eral snail have rendered an opinion on
tine question whether the property select

This opinion is expressed at the Treasury
Department.

that the only objection raised by the petit

Bull street would break up toe promenade.
On the contrary Mr.. Ansiett thought the

the promenade could be kept clear by en-
forcing police regulations. The Ohj-c-
tions to the Union Society lot were, fr-t,
its location on narrow streets which
would be "a ROSY as those around the
