case Of the Federal building would be
for the Government architects to de-
termine.
Special Dispatch TO THE NEW York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. D. c.. Jan. IA.
Postmaster-General Hays said to-day
that the Department of Justice. the De-
partment of Commerce and the Depart
ment OF Labor had been asked to outline
their requirements for office space In a
new Federal building in New York city.
When this information is assembled,
which Is not expected to be long, it will
be turned over to Government architects
for use ia the drawing of tentative plans
for new building.
The project Is one of economy for the
Government. At present the Government
is spending large sums for office space
for the different departments In New
York city. For instance, the Depart
ment of Justice Is using about 100000
a year for the rent of offices. Court is
being held in the woolworth Building.
An element In the situation will be
the cost of such building and the pos
slbility Of obtaining an appropriation
from Congress.
Congress has adopted policy OF re-
fusing to provide for the erection of
Federal buildings because costs are too
high. Building conditions. however,
have changed considerably lately. On
the other hand the proposal might open
up the whole question Of Federal build
ing with the result that many other
cities would make demands.
The fact, however, that President Har-
ding Is personally interested In the prof.
ect, as well as Postmaster-Genera!H Hays
would be benefit in obtaining an ap-
preparation.
Mr. Hays said the project would not
necessarily be confined to one building
but that two buildings to house Fed
eral activities might be decided upon.
1t is customary in most cities where
Federal buildings are erected to include
the offices of the Treasury Department.
The Treasury Department is we'll pro-
vded for in New York city, at least In
the opinion OF Washington officials
Then, too, the Treasury requires sc
much space that its inclusion In any
such project is said to be out Of the
question.

AS in City Hall Park Prop
erty, 1t Reverts to City
on Abandonment.
HAYS MAY SPEED MATTER
Opposition to Plan Not Ex-
pected to Be Strong, With N
/ Harding Backing It.

Members Of the Board Of Estimate
are In practical agreement, it was
learned yesterday. that the Federal
Government may have a site for a
new post office on a part Of the prop
erty bought by New York city for the
court house. They are willing to
turn this land over to the authorities
I'm Washington. however, ,orly under
the same conditions that the oart of
tho old City Hall Park now occupied
by the old Post Office Building was
granted to the Treasury Department
long years ago. In other words. It
Will be provided that the property may
be held only so long. as it is used for
governmental purposes. When that
use ceases the land would revert to
the city Of New York.
Genuine satisfaction was expressed
both in official and private circles yes
terday that the Harding Administra-
tion had decided to push through the
removal Of TIE old structure in Mail
street. It will mean the return to
the city Of the former apex of City
Hail Park. which permitted proper
perspective Of the City Hall. one OF
the worlds notable pieces Of archi-
lecture.
That the removal Of the Post Office
Is simply a question OF time. that 1t
IS only a matter Of fixing upon the
Details, is considered as virtually as
sured. II is the understanding here
that Postmaster General Hays Will
wan, to bring this about before he re-
tires from office. SO there Is likely to
be some quick action.
Two years ago the Board Of Estimate
considered the question of swapping a
new site for the old Post Office prop
erty. They decided that part OF the
new Court House land could be spared
for that purpose. But 1t seemed 1mpos-
sible to interest the Wilson adninistra-
tion In the project.
About three months ago Postmaster
General Hays took the matter up with
Comptroller Craig and representatives
OF various civic organizations In the
chambers Of Federal Judge Martin T.
Nanton. 1t was then virtually decided
that the Federal Government would 90
on with the project IL the proper sort
of legislation and an appropriation
could be obtained in Washington. II
appears evident that there are assur-
ances to that effect.
The city of1cials understand II Is a
question yet to be determined as to
whether the Federal Government will
put up a post Office and another build
ing, or a single building large enough
to accommodate the postal station. the
Federal courts and give Office space for
all other Federal activities now housed
In rented quarters.
They have In mind offering the block
bounded by Leonard street on the north.
Baxter street on tho east, Worth street
on tho south and Center street on the
west. Or. If that would not give enough
room, the city might be willing, 1t Is
said, to enlarge the site by adding the
block Immediately to the west, which
would move tho western boundary over
TO Lafayette street
When 1t was planned to put the Court
House on this part OF the site the sug-
gestion was made that Center street be
depressed and run under the building.
