Mr.. Newton said that Secretary Nc
adoo would probably make public the
reports that win be submitted to him
Immediately, but that he did not feel
Mt liberty to disclose their nature in
advance of their delivery to Mr.. Me-
Adoo.
From what is learned here and from
the fact that Treasury officials would
like TO have tho act appropriating
$3.50, 900, amended so that IL might be
expended for another site. leads to the
belief that the Eleventh and Main
Street property adjoining the present
postoffsce building will not be ac-
cepted,
Nothing officially has been heard In
Richmond. No one interested in the
one interested In any other site. nor
the postmaster nor anyone else has re-
ceived any official news of report
against the Eleventh and Main site.
But that an adverse report Will be
made is pretty well understood.
In the event of an adverse report
various interests win get busy at once.
The citizens committee. whose petit
tions were Withdrawn when the Cham
Der of Commerce got tho business in

their petitions to the Virginia repre-
sentatives TO secure amendment to the
