Richards, owners of some of those lat- ter houses, have with commendable public spirit. m proposition to erect on liberal conditions at their own cost and expense, build- ings that will supply the long felt want, pro- mote the etticiency of the administration and be a credit to a rapidly improving part ot the city. This proposition has been accepted, the plans of Adolf Cluss, the architect, have been aproved by both parties last spring, and active buildi operations are proceeded with as rapidly as poem | work will permit. The new buildings are situated one square to the south of the Capitol, and are bounded, east and west, by New Jersey avenue and South Capitel street. The difference in the grade ef the two streets is such, that exclusive of a sub- cellar, the buildings show tive full stories on Sonth Capitol street, with a high terrace wall in rear which supports the sidewalk of Now Jer- sey avenue, whilst on New Jersey avenue only three stories and an ornamental slate roof, or a total height of « feet show above ground. ’ The a ea to be occupied by the department is irregu- lar in shape, but in the average 112 feet front by. 160 _— deep, and the buildings are centrally e lor The main building on New Jersey avenue is 77 feet long by 44 feet wide. and constructed absolately fire-proof.

The first full story contains the mathematical instrument shops, as well as the instrument shops of the office of (standard) weights and measures, rooms for adjusting length-measures, and so on. ‘The second story is appropriated for map rooms, records, storage of books and pa- Pers, printing press room, drying and backing rooms, instrument store rooms. The third of main story, which is three feet above the level of New Jersey avenue. contains the main en- trance, a spacious vestibule, the offices of the nt in charge, hydrographic inspector, of tidal division, disbursing agent, ottice ot weights and measures, and principally the offices of Professor Pierce. the superintendent, from which a bird's-eye view of the city anda splendid panorama of the Potomac is had. The fourth and fifth stories are occupied by the com- puting division, drawing division, hydrographic division, engraving division and’ private rooms of superintendent. Ample storage room is provided again within the steep slate roof of the main building, wh. bas ornamental iron stairs reaching trom ce! to reot. Wide corridors, dust shatus, elevators communicating with all the stor: basins and other Th accommodations are amply supplied.
