three months-nobody seems to
know just when-the western half

east front of the Treasury build

Congress, in the sundry civil appropria-
tons bill. approved on the 4th of March
last appropriated $500 COO for the substi-
tuition of granite in the place of the
sandstone of which this massive colonnade
Is constructed. Those who have not for
gotten are probably wondering what has
delayed the work these many months
In little over month after the ap-
preparation the supervising architects Of
flee had given the contract for the work
to the successful bidder, Gilbert & Co. of
New York. whose bid was s29S 965. In
fortunately for the hopes of those who
expected speedy commencement of the
work, the contracting firm became in
volved and receivershp became neces-
sary. The Treasury contract still stands,
however. and the work is to be carried on
under the receivership. Just how soon
the actual work of reconstructing the
colonnade will begin is impossible to say
At present the granite is being quarried
In Milford, n. III. BY the terms of the
contract the granite must match that of
which the north. west and south wings
are constructed. In various sections of
New England the same kind of granite
can be found. not to be matched In any
other part of the country. Consequently,
IL the contractors cannot get all the
granite needed out of one quarry they
can still match their stone with the out
put of several other New England
quarries.
The contract calls for monolth granite
columns to replace the thirty Ionic COL
umns of sandstone, which are in several
sections. This phase of the work will be
the feature of the whole undertaking

1t is not only the sandstone columns
that are to be replaced. The entire cen
trail section of the east front of the
building is of sandstone and will be re-
built of granite. This part of the build
ing is all that stands Of the original Treas
ury building completed in 1912. The north.
south and west wings are Of granite. For
several years the old part of the building
has been considered unsafe. The sand
stone has answered the ravages of time
and the elements by showing propensity
for segregating itself into chunks of vari-
Gus proportions. several Of which have
made a sudden appearance on the floor
of the colonnade at different times, greatly
to the worriment of any innocent by
ISLANDERS who happened to be In the I'M
mediate vicinity. Shortly before Congress
made the appropriation mentioned one o.,
these meteoric fragments of the old colon
made alighted nearly at the feet of an
assistant secretary Of the treasury, who
happened to be smoking a cigar in the
open air and cogitating toward the relief
of the money market. This incident Is
thought to have accelerated materially
the action of Congress.

granite is in itself problem. and their
transportation to Washington, drayage
from the railroad yards to the Treasury
and subsequent emplacement will provide
the spectacular feature Of the work. The
contract provides that the actual work
on the building shall not begin until the
builders have six Of the monoliths in
Washington and another six on the way
1t is understood that more than a dozen
of the big columns have already been
quarried and are being given their finish
ing touches. In that case the first of
the new year should find the work under
way. The contract calls for the COM
pletion of the work by the end of Deem
ber 1868, but in view of the difficulties
faced by the contractors 1t is expected
that additional time will be granted on
their bid.
