depth of 160 feet from. Main to Bank

The site is now occupied by the Shafer
building, one of the mcst valuable Office
buildings in the city. The main floor OF $
the building. fronting on Main Street. Is
occupied by John L. Williams and Sons,
bankers; the city ticket agents of the
seahoarG Air Line Railroad and Offices
OF several business Institutions.
The offices fronting on Tenth and Bank
Streets are occupied by many OF the
leading insurance and real estate agents
OF the city. The second and third floors are
rented largely to attorneys. The proper
ty belongs to the Shafer estate. BY the
purchase Of this property the government
would own four-fifths of the block on
Main between Tenth and Eleventh

site for the new Federal building. By oc-
cupying the corner the disadvantages
now endured in the present office OF be-
