n. Y. p. O. SITE.
The Question ActiUely Discussed by
City Representatives..
IFrom The Tribune Bureau.I

Washington, March THE question of new
general postoffice in New-York continues to be
actively canvassed among the New-Yorll members
in the House. The decision OF the Postmaster
General not to approve deed for the acquisition
Of the Pennsylvania terminal property has prevent
ed any Of the members introducing a bill to pro-
vide for the additional appropriation necessary to
erect building the site selected by a commits
sion in 1903, for the acquisition of which Congress
appropriated s1.7O0OOO. The New-York members
feel that there should be no delay in providing the
increased postal facilities so urgently needed. and
they anxious to settle the question at this ses-
sion. Representative Parsons will confer with
Postmaster WILCOX IN New-York within = few
days, and will go over the whole question.
The present plan Is that one OF the members Of
the delegation shall introduce bill providing for
the appointment OF a commission to investigate
sites in New-York for the establishment OF a main
postofice. This does not indicate necessarily that
the Pennsylvania site will BIO abandoned altogether,
for If arrangements can be made there, that site
can be utilized for branch station which viii be
required at that terminal and additional and
central postofce building to be established IN some
other part OF the city on the line OF the subway.
The plan under which the Pennsylvania site was
chosen contemplates the additional expenditure Of
100000 to erect a suitable building on the site
selected by the commission. Members Of the New
York delegation say IL SO large sum Is appro-
priated there will be no opportunity for obtaining
the OF Congress to establish another post
Office IN New-York The attitude of the Postoffce
Department, however is taken to indicate that the
authorities do not believe that the problem OF
handling mails expeditiously in New-York will be
best solved by the Pennsylvania site main
station.
Representatives Dunwell. Goldfogle and Sulzer
the only members OF the New-York delegation
who took part in the discussion Of selection OF
site for the New-York Postofice when the ques-
ton came up IN the 18th Congress These three
members were committee appointed by the
New-York delegation to protest against the selec-
ton of the Pennsylvania site and to ask that q
commission OF New-York members be authorized
to study proposed sites in New-York. Representa-
tive Douglass, of the 18th District, made speech
in the 6Sth Congress In which he reviewed the
history OF the transaction by which the Pennsyl-
port Of the commission. OF which Postmaster Gen.
eral Payne Secretary Shaw and Attorney General
Knox were members was made SO late in the
session of 1903 that the proposition to buy the
Pennsylvania property really reached the
House. and was ''railroaded'' through Congress.
