GOVERNMENT AGENT VIEWS
SITES OFFERED FOR new
Federal Building to be Erected Here.

Frederick Bracket, special agent OF
the U. S. treasury department, was In
the city three days last week for the
purpose of inspecting the thirty.two sites
offered to the government in response to
the call for bids, issued last August 14th,
for a site for the federal buildiD~ to be
erected here this year or next year.
While MIR. Bracket was here, three
additional sites were offered. These Of
fers will be considered the same rs
those filed last summer in response to
the call mentioned
The agent completed his work here
last Thursday morning and he departed
for Washington, D. c., on the afternoon
of that day. Before leaving the city he
stated that the prices demanded by
nearly all of the thirtyfve persons,
firms or corporations offering sites for
sale were altogether too unreasonably
high.
Mr.. Bracket will make separate
report, 10 the treasury department, on
each of the sites in question; but he Will
recommend for favorable consideration
only two or three sites, which, in his
opinion, are the most desirable for the
location of the prospective federal build
ing He refused TO give out state
ment as to what sites he had selected
for favorable consideration, stating that
The government did not permit him to
give out such information and that
moreover, his decision in the matter
was not final.
Unless the prices are reduced, it will
be more than probable that the govern
ment will acquire site by insttuting
condemnation proceedings.
Mr.. Brackets report will be filed i'll
the latter part of next week.
After site has been definitely selected
the government will sent another agent
here to negotiate the purchase.
