FEDERAL BUILDING CONFERENCE
Congress VIII he Asked for n
$4,000 900 Appropriation.

There was a conference last night at the
Denison House between Hon. Charles L.
Henry and the committee consisting OF i.
s. Gordon, chairman; L. B. Martindale,
w. H. Cooper and General Foster, repre-
senting the Board of Trade, and Postmaster
Sahm, Deputy Revenue Collector Ryan and
Judge Baker. The subject related to the
new postofice building which Mr.. Henry
hopes to secure for Indianapolis at the
coming session of Congress. There was a
general discussion, in which Judge Baker,
Mr.. Martindale and Mr.. Sahm took a prom
inent part. Mr.. Henry said he would de-
vote himself unremittingly to secure the
new building. 1t was decided to ask for an
and for authority TO be vested in the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury TO sell the present
federal building, If deemed wise by him.
The committee representing the Board of
Trade promised all the assistance that
could be made effective. If necessary it
will go to Washington when notified by
ar. Henry that its presence will do good.
IT. speaking of the building now used for
federal purposes Mr.. Henry said yesterday:
II was amazed to-day when l inspected
the present facilities in the postoffice under
escort of Mr.. Sahm, to find the officers.
clerks and carriers so lin tied for space.
The facilities are almost totally inadequate
for the business to be done. The registry
and money-order departments. with their
numerous clerks, have scarcely space
enough for one. The time has come when
and 1 very much hope that the appropria-
ton may be made before the session closes
for the summer There is no question of
the pressing need"
