WIRES REMOVED
FROM BUILDING
Chief Clerk Ludlow Has
Many Improvements
Made.

Under the able direction Of Chief Clerk
Ludlow there have recently been made
many improvements in and around the
Treasury building, the latest Of which
is the removal Of the network Of tele-
Uhone. telegraph. and other wires that
adorned the roof and other parts OF
the building for years.
At one time the roof had such a con-
fusion of wires and cross-trees that the
top of the building looked Ike a Jele-
graph exchange, but all that is changed
low. At the present time the work OF
removing the last of these uusightly
adoraments, consisting Of hanging cleo
tTic arc lights suspended from project
ing beam on the roof Of each Of the
four pOrticos. is being rapidly finished by
a force OF woI kmen under the sUpervis-
ion OF the chief clerk. These old lights
are being replaced by incandescent
lamps IN ground glass globes, some four
teen or sixteen inches in diameter, sur
mounting bronze columns, corresponding
in design with the granite columns sup
porting the porticos.
There arc twelve of these column lights
placed in pairs. one OF each SIDE of the
four main entrances. and one on each
side OF the two plazas leading 10 the
building It is expected that the new
lights will illuminate the four facades
and the Two plazas better than the old
lamps. and bring out the beauties OF the
architecture Of the building more effee-
