THRY WILL RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE OF THE
SQUARE BOUNDED By PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE AND
NINTH AND TENTH AND STREETS.
The subcommittee Of the House committee on
public buildings and grounds having In charge
the question OF erecting city post-ofce building
in Washington, have at last agreed upon Site
For several Congresses past 10 has been agreed
that there was urgent need for post-of1ce build
ing at Washington, but no agreement as to the To-
cality Of the building could be reached, and this
has delayed the passage OF bill for the erection
OF the building. Meanwhile a rented building Ut
terly inadequate for the purpose, has been occu-
pied.
At the opening OF this Congress It was the de.
termination OF the committee to provide new
troversy a. to the site and the subject was under
consideration by q subcommittee OF f1ve. The
Juiiciary square site and the square between sth
ana 9th ana ana streets were pressed, and Mr..
Milhken urged the advantages or the site on the
south side or Pennsylvania avenue, b tween 9th
ana 10th streets and Pennsylvania avenue and c

convenient for loading and unloading the mails.
