Building for Jersey City.
Members of the committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds returned
from Jersey City thoroughly convinc-
ed of the justice of the claim that a
new p~ostoffice building should be
erected in that city, and at once.
Those in the party who had not been
there before were astounded at the
condition of affairs which they saw,
and there is no doubt that Jersey City
will be included in the omnibus pub
lie building bill when it is reported.
