Sir Bulwer Lytton in bis famous novel,
"What will he do with it, touchingly
| apostrophizes on the sadness and selem-

wildly does Sir Edwards "Beware of

thrill our hearts, and when that parting
is to be separation of SO many miles
and possible perils of ocean waves and
winds and storms that inte rpose between
us and the haven where we would be.

and gladness that we tear curse Ives awav

BIDS FOR NEW STRUCTURE
FIRMS COMPETE FOR DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE CONTRACT.
Original Appropriation of 81 ZOO. 200
Not Sufficient to Complete Build
fnE-Appeal to Congress.

Bids were opened at the Department of
Justice today for the erection of the new
building for the department. 1t will be re-
membered that Congress appropriated ST.
100000 for new building and placed the
whole matter in the hands of Attorney Cen
eral Griggs. That official promptly vacated
the old building, moved his department and
the Court Of Claims to three different build
ings, and had the old structure torn to the
ground. In the meantime preliminary plans
were submitted by competing architects
This contest resulted In the selection of that
presented by George B. Post of New York.
Early in March the Attorney General
after numerous conferences with Mr.. Post
had about completed the detailed plans and
specifications and was ready to ask for
bids. By that time the rise in the prices of
building material was such to make
further appropriation necessary. Exactly
how much could not be told until contrac-
tors had submitted bids. March Is Attor-
Eey General Griggs selected ten of the most
prominent contracting firms in the country
and asked them to present bids by April
u. More than half the number declined to
enter the competition, and other names
were substituted, giving about sixteen firms
an opportunity.
Eight firms of financial standing submit
ted bids today. These give the length of
time in which the work can be done and
the material proposed to be used. 1t will
De Seen lnat tneSe Two features make quite
a difference in the bids. The earliest time
fixed In which to do the work is sixteen
months. The contractors who set that
time, however, want $225,OOO extra The
firm offers to do the work in twenty-three
months for 81, 49,, 800, and in sixteen months
for quarter of a million additional.
