PROPOSED New BUILDING.-The
Business Mems League of this CITY has
made arrangements for pressing upon
Congress the need OF an enlargement of
the Uaited States building here. The
building, which was erected in the later
Dos. is commonly called the post 0 ffice,
but the postal authorities OCCUPY only
the first fl)or, the second being used
until lately for the customhouse and
the bird story for the United States
curt; but tbs coming OF the internal
revenue Office has required resdjus.-
ment OF the Accommodations, and for
over year the offices have been 10
each others way. The lot at Prince
and s.. Assph streets is upon the high
est point 10 the city and is large enough
for much more extensive building
than now occupies it. The League will
hold meeting 10 their rooms TO formu.
late and suggest plans whereby The
building may be enlarged. Several
citizens have already approached
Representative John F. Rixey on the
matter, and he, it is said, will intro
duce the bill 10 the House. asking for
on appropriation which will be sufficient
to do the work.
