MOVING TREASURY RELICS.
Contractor Hauling Remnants of
Old Columns.

The work of removing the bases Of the
thirty old sandstone Treasury columns
from their bed in Potomac Park, near
the foot of Goth street, was begun yester-
day by a force of men in the employ Of
Martin Mcnamara. building contractor
of this city, and at the present rate Of
progress will be completed in about fif
teen days. Under his contract with Col.
Cosby, the engineer officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds, Mr.. Nc
Namara will receive the sum of 500 for
the removal of these stones, and they
become his private property. Owing to
the bulk and weight of the stones the
work of removing them is attended with
considerable trouble. A large derrick is
used for lifting them onto the trucks.
MIR. Mcnamara is as yet undecided as
TO che final disposition Of the old columns.
He has received several offers to buy
them from private builders in Massachu-
sets and elsewhere, but is inclined to
retain possession of them until it is de-
termined whether Congress shall provide
for their repurchase for erection on Po-
tonac Park or in connection with some
other public work in this vicinity.
