go to that city on January %, when it is
peeted that rhe site will be definitely chosen
AS is we'll known, large number of offers have
been subr7itted and the labor of the conr7s-
sion has been protracted, but the n>er7bers now
feel that they have carefully weighed the ad-
vantages and DISADVANTAGES of every offer, and
to make prompt and it is hoped, satisfactory
selection.
The wide variation in prices well in ad-
vantages of sites offered. together with the
large number of interests To he subserved, has
made the commissions deliberations somewhat
tedious but the members feel that in SO import
ant and irrevoca bic a decision time was the
least consideration 1t is the eypectation Of
federal officials that building will be erected
which will not only possess every convenience
modern methods suggest, but which will
he from an architectural as well rs from q
rractical point of view, commensurate with the
Importance of the city. The desire 10 build in
New-York a postofice which will add to the ar
chttect,Iral beauty of the city and prove
credit to the government has added TO the difh-
ouIties of the selection OF site. but the com
mission now has the situation so well IN hand
that IL believes all obstacles will be easily over
