Before the visit of Mr.. w. F. Field,
special agent of the Treasury depart
ment, to this city to look over the pro-
posed sites for the federal building an
effort was made by some of the business
men to get price on the triangular
piece of land bounded by Main, Ball and
Water street, with view of Offering it
for a site. Nothing could be done at
that time and so no bid was made. The
attention of Mr.. Field was, however,
called to the property at the time he was
here. The first of this week bid was
sent in for the property at $6,50O 1t is
owned by Mueller Bros, L. E. Wood
