Denied That There is an Effort to
Retain Present Quarters.
The article in The Evening Star in rela-
ton to the new city post Office describing
the gossip prevalent in Washington about
influences being at work to prevent the re-
moVai OF the present post office from the
Union building, caused general talk
throughout the city. It also served to de-
Velop the fact that the apprehension felt
in so many quarters was not altogether
we'll founded, and that so far as the gentle
men interested in the Union building are
concerned, no attempt was being or had
been made on their part to retain the city
post office as a tenant. Mr. Myron M
Parker announced this today.
For the past three years." said Mr.
Farker. have been the president of the
Union Building Company. and have had the
practical management of its affairs.
have never communicated either directly
or indirectly with any clerk, official, mem
Der OF Congress or senator of the United
States respecting its continued occupancy
by the city post office, nor has Senator
Cameron or any director or agent of the
company. The present rental was fixed by
and was and is entirely satisfactory to the
POST Office Department. No influence will
be at work to keep the city post Office
where 1t now Is, but SO long as 1t Is per-
mitted to remain there as convenience to
the government 1t will be treated in all re-
speets as are other tenants of the building.
THE Union building" continued Mr..
Parker, was erected at the request of the
government that the city post office might
have better accommodations, and its loca-
ton was fully approved as being central
and convenient. 1t is of the latest modern
fre-proof construction, and recent report
of the government printing office officials
stated that 1t was as fire-proof as the gov
eminent public buildings. The present
owners of the Union building are not in
terested in the construction of the city
post office, nor should they be held respon-
sible for governmental delays"

Aluminized mail boxes are being placed
along Pennsylvania avenue from the foot
of the Capitol to 18th street northwest, and
the familiar red receptacles will be no
longer seen along this part of Washington
main thoroughfare in a few days. The
boxes in their new dress have the appear
ance of silver, only the lettering being red.
The boxes are not new, but are old ones
treated with a new variety of paint A
coat of white paint is put over the old
familiar red, and while 1t Is fresh finely
powdered aluminium is sifted over 1t. The
new treatment, 1t is claimed by the owner
of the process, who has secured permission
to make practical test of it along the ave-
nue., will last for four years without wear
Ing sufficiently to need renewal, and is said
to cost no more to apply than the red paint,
which 1t is necessary to renew every six
months. Many ocular remarks about the
boxes being indicative of any approaching
silver policy in this country have been in
spired by their appearance.
