Mullett will' bo compensated at the rate of 212 ner day and expenscs, It 18 not anticipated that Mullett can recom- mend any change in the modlfled g]nn of tho Chieago Custom-House bullding. The changes which have been made In Mullett's plan are”in the upper portion of the buliding. ~ The stone for the building, mcordlngom the changed plans, is cither already cut or is belog quarricd, and no chango could bo made now to compel the uppor portions of tho building according to Mullett's original plans without very great additional ex- pense to the Government.” If the nuthoritics, therofore, wero disposed to yleld to Mullett's wishes, economy would doubtless prevent It. It I8 the purpose of the Government to bring tho Chicago bullding up to_the first cornice before winter, and to roof tho entlre bullding in. Meanwhile, during the winter, tlie stone for the reat of tho building will bo finlshed and the fron-work for the permancnt roof be prepared, Thero Is scarcely money enough to sccomplish all tho latter. There secms to be an locorrect impression ns to the nature of the Comnmission which Mr. Mul- Jett has received as Superintendent of scverul public buildings. The report that tho appolnt~ ment {a made to sccurg the completion of the buildings according to Mullett's plans was not warranted. ' No such decision has been reached, Mutlet's duties are to visit the works mentioned, and to oxorcise a geheral supervision over thewn of an ndvisory character. Mullett inslsts that ho can complete the Chi- cago Custom-Housa bullding according to his plans without increased expenaitures, and with- out danger from shaky foundation. He main- tains that tho tinkerhig at the foundatlons b tho soveral Commissions was an entirely need- less and foollsh expenditure of timo aud mmmr, ?njd tb&n the foundations wers nover seriously njured. culars, and, if thebulld- lan, it is To the Western Associated Pres. ‘Wasminaton, D.
