FORET0N NAIL ANNEX.
The Committee Recommends That the Pro-
posal Of List 4 Lennon Be Accepted.

WAsHISGToN, July IL, - The committee
which recently visited New York to arrange
for a foreign mall annex has recommended
that the proposal Of List Il Lennon TO erect
the building at the corner OF Morton and West
str be accepted. 1t Is proposed that q
two-story and basement building be erected
on plan, which will admit of at least one large
floor, with as few distractions as possible. IL
Is especially desired that As much floor space
as possible shall be available. and for this Reason
the building will be low and broad. instead Of
having a number " stories and constructed
after the manner of modern Office buildings.
This IL the Jlan advocated by Postmaster Van
COtt, who wants a new Post ONCE In New
York to cover two blocks OF ground and con-
fined to two floors. He believes much more
work can be done In such a building than In
one constructed on the lines OF the present
New York Post ONCE. The experiment will
be made In the foreign mail annex on a small
scale.
The building is to 10 erected by Lis. 4 Lennon,
and the Department Is TO rent the structure
for ten years at ga NO per year. 1t will cover
1900 square feet OF ground. A number Of
sites were offered TO the committee, but some
OF them were unavailable. IL was agreed that
the site at Morton and West streets was the
most suitable because OF its convenience to
the steamship wharves. All foreign mail will
be handled in this annex, and the clerks who
now care .or this mail in the basement Of tho
New York Post Once will be able to again
breathe fresh air.
