Show OUR NEW POSTOFFICK Three quarters of a million dollars is the sum required to erect the new post-office post-office building. Senator Rawlins has introduced in-troduced a bill in the United States sen- j ate to increase the limit of cost of the j building to $750,000. and there Is hardly a doubt that the report on the propo-s propo-s ition will be favorable. Sketch plans have been prepared on the basis of a J300.0CO limit, but the cost of their preparation prep-aration has been immaterial in compar- j ison with the total cost. These plans i have been prepared with a view to meeting the increased cost of building materials, and there is a lack of ornamentation orna-mentation and a general skimping in view of these conditions. It is said at the department that a building worthy of Salt Lake can be erected for the three-quarters of a million asked for by Senator Rawlins, and an increase in the limit of cost will be welcomed. |
