PATgRSON's POST OFFICE.
A Very Shabby Affair Unless Congress
Gives More Mona ay,

Gives More Money.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 3, 1s93.-Sup-
ervising Architect O'Rourke yesterday
gave direction for the sketch plans of the
Paterson public building to be commenced
at once.
While he has taken this action, Mr.,
O'Rourke does not believe that the people
of Paterson ought to be contented with
the appropriation made by Congress for
their public building: They have only
been allowed SIS, 900" he said, while
Pueblo, Ariz., a little town out in the
desert, has had 1890, 900 given it for new
Federal structure. This is manifestly out
of proportion and a growing and represen-
tative city like Paterson ought to have a
building worthy of it. ("
What will be the character Of the
building?n
vicinity of Paterson supplying a good
quality of stone, and it being nay policy to
utilize local resources wherever we can.
The smallness of the appropriation, how
ever will not allow much of building.
1t cannot be more than one story high,
and think when the plans are shown the
Paterson people they will be willing to
wait and get a larger appropriation from
Congress. "
'.Will Paterson architects be invited to
compete with plans.
mo" was Mr.. O'Rouke's reply. "a
law passed at the last Congress contem-
plated such a thing but it is one thing to
pass law and another to apply it. The
law is contradictory and expensive and IS
this bureau. In the antime, however,
you can state positively that our own force
will design the Paterson building"
