The board also took into considera-
ton the construction of necessary

posts on the Atlantic seaboard on the
rllf and al the mouth Of the Columbia
river and at some of the inland posts,
fer cavalry and artillery where addl-
tonal buildings are needed to accom-
noiale the Increased garrisons.
Il has been decided to proceed at
once with the preparation Of plans
trl Specifications for the necessary
buildings at the new posts and at the
posts 70 be enlarged ana to invite bids
for their construction, but It Is con-
tenpated to place only a part OF the |
work at other places under contract at |
PRESENT TO avoid the large congestion |
which would result by throwing too |
much work on the market at many OF |
these places at once,
The work that probably will receive
INST consideration viii be the new posts
