A WASHINGTON RUMoR.

According to dispatches from Washing
ton published in THE CALL yesterday an
effort is being made by the New England
Marble Company to obtain from the Gov
ernment contracts for furnishing material
for the two Federal buildings which are
TO be erected in Chicago and San Fran
cisco. 1t was further asserted that the New
Englanders had "strong pull" and there
are chances that they will succeed unless
the quarrymen OF the West are prompt
and vigorous in counteracting their eff
forts.
This story may be no m ore than w ash
ington rumor. In the very nature of
things it cannot be traced to an official
source. 1t is nevertheless one of sufficient
importance to attract the attention of
Californians and to awaken them to the
possibility th at the stone to be used in our
new building may be brought to us from
the far East instead of being taken from
our own quarries. Such danger should
at once arouse the commercial and in
dustrial bodies of the State to take what
ever action may be necessary to over.
come it.
The truth of the rumor is confirmed to
some extent by the statement in the dis
patch that Californians now at Washing
ton are trying to have the upper structure
of the building in this City constructed of
California stone. 1t is said that the selec-
tion of the stone will probably be made
by the officials of the Treasury Depart
men t, though Congressman Loud believes
that in this case the usual rule will be de-
parted from and the choice of material
left to the Com mittee on Public Buildings
California has a right to expect that
home material will be used for the con-
structlon of the building in San Fran
cisco. We would lose much of the benefit
expected from the construction II any
large portion of the material is brought
from the East which could be obtained
here. 1t is probable that the selection of
the stone will soon be made and our citi-
zens should act promptly in urging upon
those in authority to require the use of
material from California quarIies.
