"CITY AND_DISTRICT. THE CITIZENS COUMITTER. Lively Discussion of Live Subjects at Last Nights Meeting. TUR SITE FOR A NEW POST-OFFICR BUTLDIxO— RGES OF A BARGAIN—A COMMITTER TO LOOK APTER THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE HARBOB—WATER SUPPLY AND SEWERAGE ‘There was something of @ sensation created ai the meeting cf the citizens’ representative commit tee last evening. It was caused by a remark of Mr. Je se B. Wilson. He made the statement that the plan to purchase the square west of the pres- ent Post-Office Department building and erect a Duilding to be used by the general and city post- Offices was the resuit of a bargain. The report of the sudcommities on public buildings was under consideration, which recommended the approval Dy tne committee of Senate bill 1040, providing for ‘the purchase of the square above referred to for the purposes indicated. Mr. Wilson, in speaking on the report, objected to naming any particular site. He was of the ‘opinion that it would be better to urge upon Con- the necessity for providing a suitable bulld- fiz for the ity postonlce, and “eave the selection site to be determines. by unat body. Mr. Jno. T. Miceneil said that, instead of silence on that particular point, he wa- in favor of saying & good and he thought that it would be an ‘excellent idea to amend tue report by inserting a proviso recommending Congress TO RUY ALL THE SQUARES Detween Pennsylvania avenue and the mall and from 9th to 15th streets, where the proposed elty post-office building could be erected, as well as all other public buildings that might be needed now or in the suture. ‘The naming cf any particular site was also aisapproved by Mr. S. H. Walker, and he eiietted from Mr. A. B. Mullett, chairman of the committee, the ouservation that this policy of “masteriy inactivity” had been pursued’ for the past twenty years Or more, and the consequence ‘was the city post-office was now occupying its Present buzzard’s rocst. He said that the eo-op- eration of this committee woul! be of service in securing the end sought by the bill. The Pust- reaster-General, as hus predecessors for years past, had been anxious to secure eniarged quarters ‘The Senate was in hearty accord, and with this union of sentiment 1t was believed that such a bill ‘would be passed by the House during the present session. The interests of toe Department and of tue citizeus would be secured by the passage of such a bil Mr. John T. Mitchell said that he would rather see the city without a postofice building for the next five Years than that they should 109e any op- rtunity of having the property on the south of ue Avenue purchased by the Government. In that locatloa the public butldings shouid be Built, and every one that is Dullt elsewhere iessens thé | probabipty of this great improvement being un- dertaken. WEST WASHINGTON SATISFIED. Mr. Noble D. Larner was of the opinion that it might be that the citizens of West Washington were indifferent on this subject, for they had a Mine stone building for post-office purposes. The citizens of Washington, however, had a pos'-office building that every ume they entered it they were airaid It would fail down. He ridiculed the propo- sition to Duy up the haif of the city for the pur- pose of placing te post-office in Hooker's D:vision, Mr. Mitchell stated that his ovject, and he tought the object of all good citizens, Was not to Jocate the post-office tn any spectal iocality, Dut to Temove from the city a blot, a dark spot, watch Was adisgrace. If by any means such a locality id be cleansed he thought ail cltizens shoud ‘Waite In bringing It abou Mi. WILSON REITERATES. Mr. Wilson deciared that there was a job in this thing—a combination. The owners of the square named in the bill had made a bargain with the owners of the square where the Bank of Wash- ington was located by which the latter owners had agreed to cease any furcher opposition to the Jocation of the postoflice on the square named. As was Well known, tuese partes were the iain Contestants on this quesit had been for Fears. ‘The War had now ceased, and Uhis bill Was | The resnit. For Uhts reason he was opposed to the comin! e's recommending the site proposed, and he was opposed to namiag any sive, Mr. Laruer sald that Mr. Wilsom had made a serious charge. He, however, kuew one owner of roperty in the Bank of Washington square who | Told bls some time azo that the property-owners bad aban loaed tue idea of getting the postomice | Jocated there. “Asan earucst of (his chamges had | Been made recentiy On th square and the Bank of Washingtog Was now about to make extensive | Amproveients in thetr own property. He did not believe that the bank autuorities were patiy to such a bargala, as had been charged, in repiy Mr. Wilson asserted tnat he bad not charged the Bank of Washington with being party to tals bargain. He did not believe that tue bank Was ip the trade, He did know that an owuer of some of the F street property told him tbat the post-oftice would be That square. “f asked him why,” contigued Mr. Wilson, and his repiy Was, “Becduse the otuer people ‘have Deen bought of.” MR. J. ORMOND WILSON thought there must be a mistake about there being & corrupt bargain. ‘The bill was introduced in the | Senate by Mr. Morrill, a man, be said, of the high- est character. It provided for the appraisement Of the iaad tn the usual Way knuwn to the law, and | he could uot see how there could be any trade or bargain involved in tc.

Mr. Wilson arose to repiy, but the chair ruled that the previous question had been called for. ‘Upon this Mr. Wilson asked a rising vote, When The motion was deciared carried Mr. Wilson ratsed ‘Ue point of no quorum present, which Was sus tained. Thereupon tue comuuttee adjourned, ‘THE REPORT ON HAKBORS AND WHARVES. In the early part of the meeting tne recoramen- Gations of the committee on harbors and wharves Were considered, and with some slight changes were .dopted. They are as follows: “Ist.

He then announced that the object of the meeting was to lisven to a tariff talk by Mr. Paul T.

Mr. Bowen ‘Was nominated by bis assembly for master work- Maa and declined, on account of his 1il-heaith, The newspupers had twisted that fact tato a de- feat.
