P0ST0FFICE CORNER
The Governments Representative
Made Mistake.
WILL BE RECTIFItD NOW

MIR. j. X. Kennedy, architectural
draughtsman of the Supervising Archi-
tect's office of the u. S. Government,
at Washington, arrived here Saturday
to examine the corner of Hanover and
Princess Anne streets, on the pOstoflice
side of the streets.
1t has developed that the construct
ing architect. who drew the plans for
the postoiiice, made mistake and the
grade is not in accordance with those
given to Architect Lyon and drawn by
Messrs. Reid. Bradford and Kalmbach
and approved by the Council.
The difference at that corner is one
foot 10 inches. Mr.. Kennedy realizes
the mistake and will recommend to the
government the paying Of any extra
work which will remedy as far as pos
sible this mistake.
Messrs. Reid 4 Wilcox will make a
report on the recommendation Of ma
jority of the joint committee present
Saturday at the conference to the
Council on Tuesday night, which body
will act.
1t is thought the proposed change, if
made. will make great improvement
IN the present appearance.
The change will only effect the corner
next to the postofiice.
