SEE DELAY IN BUILDING
PORTLAND POSTOFFICE

Portland, March 22-Though ac-
ton will undoubtedly be taken by
Congress on the recommendation of
Secretary OF the Treasury David F.
Houston for post office building
in Portland. it is not likely that u
built Immediately The question of
location is one that will require
special attention as it is the aim of
the treasury department to locate
the building in a section that will
give the greatest accommodation 70
the largest number OF business in
terests. The treasury department
has been favorable TO placing the
building much nearer Union Sta
ton than the present post Office
building. as the cost OF delivery
from the trains would be much less,
and il is the belief of some con-
nected with the department that the
business is moving in westerly
direction.
Several sites have had attention
but nothing definite has been decid-
GU. IL mas oeen suggested tndt the
site OF the Y. VI. c. a. building. and
other properties adjacent might be
satisfactory for post office building
purposes but whether they could be
secured has not been determined.
l. is the plan of the treasury de-
partment to build for future needs
Of the city. as the structure viii be
permanent and modern in every par
