OLD POST OFFICE:
SOON TO Be RAZED.
Only Front and Rear Walls Will
Stand After Contractor Be-
gins Work This Week.

Work Will begin to-day or to-
morrow in tearing down the side walls
OF the old Federal building. in Main
Street, preparatory to beginning the
construction of the new 100000 gov
eminent structure Contractor Diet
rick who has RACED the Shafer Build
ing, will probably finish before the ex-
piration of the time limit, April 90
and he believes the ground on which
the annex will be built will be clear
at least a week ahead of that date.
John Henry Miller, Of Baltimore
who holds the contract for the inn
provements, was in Richmond Sunday
and his representative will remain
here constantly until laborers are put
at work. Mr.. Miller expects to pro-
coed as rapidly as possible. and will
largely use Richmond labor for de-
molishing the stone building. The
Federal building, except the front and
rear walls, will be torn away. The
contractor Is prepared now to begin,
and his task will not Interfere with
Contractor Dietrick's workmen.
Mr.. Dietrich has been greatly COM
mended for the progress he has made
In tearing away the. Shafer Building;
but he SAYS there have been Very few
days in which some work could not
be done. and that he has employed a
force large enough to remove the
debris as fast as it has accumulated.
Contractor Miller says he expects to
complete the new building in 1912, as
required by the terms he has accepted
but he does not think, In view of the
frequent delays in awarding the con.
tract, that there will be any serious
trouble In securing nm extension from
the supervising architect.

PROGRESS ON LIGHT PLANT
Broad Street Merchants Want
Cluster of Lamps on Every
Block.

Not deeming 1t wise to go TO any adj
dltional expense simply to transfer
money from one pocket to the other,
the Council Committee on Electricity
last night rejected the request of SUI
perintendcnt Davis, of the Water De-
partment, that the city install two wa
ter meters, at the cost of SIG each. on
the new municipal plant connections, so
that water used in that department
might be accounted for. The commit
tee as man came to the conclusion
that It was a useless expenditure of
the city's money, involving only the
to the other. The superintendent was
instructed TO make an estimate of the
amount of water used and a resolution
was passed asking that the connections
be made as soon as practicable.
In his progress report on the electric
plant. Engineer TrafforJ stated that 1t
would be delayed for some time, mainly
because concrete contractors are FAR
behind in their work. He said that the
building would probably be under roof
within the next month and soon after
would be ready for the installation of
steam and electric machinery. Mr.
Trafford also obtained permission OF
the committee for purchasing certain
necessary supplies for the plant.
TO Renew Old Contracts.

when the municipal plant will be in
operation is very indefinite, Mr.. Traf-
