FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF
FEDERAL BUILDING IN
RICHMOND
CONTRACTPRICE $50, $50
Limestone or Sandstone to be Used as
Facings-Completed March
Is, 1905.
CONTRACT PRICE $50, $50

Postmaster Surface received word
from Washington this morning that
the contract for the federal building
for Richmond had been awarded t2
VIM. J. Spear, Toledo, Ohio, for $685.
$50. The letter says that limestone or
sandstone is to be used for facings in
stead of brick The contract is to be
completed by March IS, 1905.
1t is evident from the tone of the
communication that there will be no
change in the frontage Of the struc-
ture, and that it will be constructed
according to the original plans, and
will front on north A street. While
the letter does not say it will front
on north A street, it says nothing that
would indicate a change from the ori-
ginal plan.
There was nothing said either, why
the contract was not given to the low
est bidder, a firm at Portland, Ind.
1t will be noted that the building
will be finished by March Is, 1905.

Of the gigantic interests were affixed
today and the deal will be completed
this evenin. The legal counsels of
both roads, together with President
Bradford of the c. c.. & L. are now in
New York completing arrangements
for the transfer. The utmost secrecy
was observed by all the railroad Off
cials yesterday in regard to Mr.. Brad
ford IS whereabouts, but it leaked out
that he had gone to New York for the
purpose mentioned above.
The fact that the c. c. and l..
built no terminal depot at Cincinnati
is looked upon as significant that the
G. G. & L. contemplated absorbing
the C. TT. & D. and using the facili-
ties of the latter road.
The interests back Of the C. c. & L.
, combined with the c.. c. & L. itself
, will amount to over one hundred mil
, lions of dollars and this sum is easily
able to finance the roads and the mer-
ger of the two or more roads.
