FOR GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. Argument of the Postmaster General Before the Congressional Committees. HIS VIEWS REGARDING SITE FOR AND CONSTRUC- TION OF BUILDINGS FOR THE POST OFFICE DE- PARTMENT AND THE CITY POST OFFICE—AP- POINTMENT OF A COMMISSION RECOMMENDED. The Postmaster General in his argument be- fore the House and Senate committees of pub- lic buildings regarding Post Office Department building and Washington city post office build- ing, briefly mentioned heretofore in Tue Star, after referring to the great growth of the postal service of the country since the comple- tion of the General Post Office building, giving statistics to show the increase, and remarking that most of the great features of that service are the creations of the last twenty-five years, said: So much has been said of the over-crowded condition of the building now used that it would be needless to repeat it. The broad and un- deniable fact is that the present structure is filled to its utmost with people and with ma- terial; that # part of the force is working in unfit quarters, and that much of the storage space is dark and not easily accessible. Clerks are working in basement rooms ,crowded to- gether everywhere, and valuable papers are frequently exposed to the public in hallways, HEAVY REST ROLL OF THE P. 0, DEPARTMENT. The growing necessities of the service have compelled from time to time the taking of out- side quarters, and today the department is paying $20,000 annual rental for Marini’s Hall, the E Street Rink, the Money Order building, the Topographer’s office and the mail bag re- pair shop, while there are more*people quar- tered in the main department than ever before. The main building, which consists of three stories, with a basement half under ground, contains about 68,000 opuate feet of floor space available for clerks and 15,000 square feet for storage, mostly in the basemeut. There is an attic, which is dark, and filled, as it now is, with @ mass of books and papers, serves only to in- vite a disastrous fire. ‘Tie department is using on the outside five rented buildings, 75,800 square feet of floor space, or only 7,200 square feet less than in the whole of the main building. The owners of the Rink building on E street have notified the department that the rental will be increased $2,000, beginning on July 1 next, and the sixth auditor must have addi- tional room for about 75 clerks, which will probably cost 3,000. The total outlay for rent at the end of this year will thus be not far from $25,000 per annum, which sum is equiva- lent to the interest of $625,000 at 4 per cent, or $833,000 at 3 per cent, To this should be added the extra cost by the quadrupling of watchmen, messengers, labor- ers, charwomen, elevators, heating and lhight- ing, almost all of which would be saved in a singlejwell-arranged and adapted structure, if no other move for buildings is to be made. With €275,000 the Post Office Department could buy and pay for the ground and build a substantial five-story stone and brick building within three blocks of the present Post Office Department, to contain 100,000 square feet, which would accommodate all the offices and workshops now in leased quarters. LOOKING TO THE £UTURE. It should be borne in mind that this is the present status of postal affairs and that it will require at least five years to complete a new building of the reguiation class for the depart- ment, possibly longer; and, at the rate of growth of the department during the last five years, the next five will probably bring the number of post offices to 75,000 and the gross revenue to $75,000,000, and it is not unlikely that in ten years from this date there will be 100,000 post offices and $100,000,000 of gross revenue, with a service rapidly expanding in all itsbranches. Then we should anticipate and provide for new features of the postal ser- viee, some of which will probably be embraced within the scope of its operations before long. The postal telegraph is exciting much inter- est among the people, and is under considera- tion by one of your committees; the telephone is its natural accompaniment; postal saving banks are demanded by many; there will be universal free delivery in some form, possibly a postal civil service school for education for postal business. The certain reduction of let- ter postage to one penny in the near future will greatly swell the volume of business und re- quire larger clerical force and the room to work in, For these reasons and because of the natural growth of the business of this entire department our needs will increase from 158,- 800 square feet area now in use to 300,000 square feet, or more. THE IDEAL BUILDING for this purpose is not a hotel building of nu- merous rooms 20 by 20 feet, such as is now in use, but a structure arranged with special reference to its uses by the various branches of the de- partment, where the chiefs of bureaus can con- veniently superintend the clerks of the re- apective departments and the records can be kept from the public eye andtouch, Spacious, light, well-ventilated rooms would preserve the health of the clerks, save gas bills, greatly ex- pedite work, and economize time of Senators, | Congressmen, and the public. Convenience | and economy would be gained by placing all | the postal business located in this city under | one roof, locating the city post office on the | ground floor, where the people require such accommodations, and placing the executive de- | partment offices, workshops, supply and storage | rooms in the upper floors.where they wouid be | better accommodated. One such establish- | ment, instead of two buildings miles apart, would not only save large outlays in the con- struction of two separate structures, but save duplication of wagon, messenger, and watch- | man service, heating, lighting, and elevator plants, and would put the city postal service under the immediate supervision of the Post- master General and his assistants, to form the model postal college, test systems, try experi- ments, and watch the practical operations for improvements in general postal system. THE BLOCK BOUNDED BY E, F, EIGHTH AND NINTH STREETS. The argument that the growing business of the executive department would eventually | crowd out the post office can be applied to any | building built for any part of the government business except such as can be kept from fur- | ther growth. In the year 1587 it was proposed to take the block bounded by Sth and 9th and Eand F streets, adjoining the present depart- ment building, and enlarge the present struc- ture by an edifice covering the street interven- | ing and the entire square, The area thus added would be about equal to the available floor space on al] floors in the present building, 83,000 square feet, and including the intervene ing street, about 25,000 square teet additional, making. with the 83,000 square feet now in use, the grand total of nearly 200,000 square feet, in | ® four-story building similar to the present structure. ‘The data of the cost of the real es- tate, as estimated in 1887, was about $750,000. ; It is estimated that the value has increased 20 | per centum, so that the ground would now cost | about $900,000. The probable cost of the building would be €2.500,000; total, $3,400,000, This plan has met with much favor in the past and is thoroughly practicable. If the city post office is to be located at 9th and Pennsylvania avenue, as contemplated by the House bill now in the Senate committee, I would favor the removal of the department building to its close proximity, and the present | Post Office Department building could be con. nected by bridges or tunnels with the Interior Department, which is seeking more room, and paying at the present time large sums for the rental of outside buildings. ‘To construct a new building for the Interior Department means a large outlay. Yet the gathering of ite outlying brauches into one building means a large waving. To annex the contiguous Postal Department building to the Interior building would be true economy, and the application of further appropriations to a new postal building would only be an exchange of buildings. It is only a question of time when the Post Office Department and the city post oftice will be connected with the Capitol and the Execu- tive Mansion and various departments by pneu- matic tubes, so that it is not so important where the new structure or structures are lo- cated, To save time and expeuse it is more im) it that the city post office be near the railroad stations than in the center of the city, as the carrier —e ee the mails at the e's doors aud inexpensive substations in verhoan parts of the city afford the best con- venience for the purchase of stamps and money orders and for registering letters and packages, ‘THE GROUND SOUTH OF THE AVENUE. If it is definitely settled that the city post Office is to be moved to Pennsylvania avenue I respectfully submit for consideration that the jral with nevernescey balidinggy Pag Pee ings are under discussion for en office and Poot Office Department, the Patent Records, State Department Halls, Census Bu- reau, District Commissioners. Suoreme Court THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON and reception halls and business offices of the President, and a broad, comprehensive general ae might be sketched, out of which each new uilding to be erected might bea part. None of the present structures of the | ity referred to are costiy, and great saving could be made by securing property before further im- provements shall be made, Such a movement would give a new start to the improvement of Washington and the massing of the buildings at one point, instead of isolating — at ae ous points in the city, would not only great beautify the city, but add to the value of the contiguous real estate and the tax income there! The government owns the block bounded by B, 10th, 12th street and the south- ern sides of squares $24 and 350, contai about 87,500 square feet, Roughly calculate the areas of the squares $23, $24, 849 and 350, not including the street space, aggregate about 184,000 square feet, and including the streets, about 270.000 square feet, The following are the areas of the tive squares: 61,400 square feet in square 323; 89,200 in 824; 45.865 in 349; 37,800 in $50; total, 184,265 square feet. The following wre the respectivo assessed valuations of these squares as taken from the books in the office of the District assessor: Ground. Imps. Square $23, $46,000 Square 324 Square 349 Square 350 Total ground. .. Total improvemen Grand total .... The a market value of this property is somewhat a matter of conjecture, but I am in- formed it cannot be more than double the as- sessment, or $1,000,000. I submit that it would be better to purehgse all this property at this time than to pay €275,000 for the lot contem- plated in House bill for the purchase of a city post office site, NEEDS OF THE CITY POST OFFICE. Iam informed by the city postmaster that the whole square contains 36,417 square feet, while the part ‘allotted to the new post office consists of 10,198 square feet, which is not more than that now in use in the cramped quarters of the Seaton House. The actual needs of the proper post office for Washington city are 60,000 square feet and this should be in one floor. ' To put $800,000, as proposed, into a small building and be obliged to use upper stories, reached by elevators and porters, would be a vast and unnecessary expense. The prestnt rental of the Seaton House property in use for the post office is $4,000. ‘ihe rent at 5 per centfor the proposed new building and fixtures would be $55,000. and the inervase of expenditure in such an inconvenient and ill- adapted building for watchmen and porters, elevators and other expenses would practically bring the rent up to about $75,000 per annum. This rental could nearly all be saved by com- bining the post office and department build- ings, on the property adjoining the site selected or at 8th and F strects, but if the committee considers it impracticable to unite the two buildings, I respectfully submit that it would be at least worth while to consider abandoning the building of any structure of several stories for a city post oftice that does not need upper rooms, and put the amount required in constructing upper stories, in ground arca, covering the same with a structure of one story, which, in height, for the sake of appearance, could be equal to two ordinary stories, with over-head lighting and abundant ventiiation. and a model of construction and utility of American post-office building. Such a building could be erected for from one-third to two- fifths of the usual class government building, and the ground bought with what would ve saved from the cost of a many storied building, would enable the post office to work without double handling of mails, or if space not needed immediately, could be reserved for future enlargement. ' To squeeze the Washing- ton city post office into a structure of the shape and size of the proposed plan is not bettering the postal service. and before’ the building could be completed the subject would be up again from the pressure of actual needs and compel the consideration that could be more wisely given today. The Washington city post office now occupies on the first floor about 10,000 square feet-the new site offers on the first floor (estimated) 10,198 Square feet; the new site offers on four floors (estimated ) 40,800 square feet; the actuai needs today are 60,000 square feet; the actual needs in five years will probably be 100,000 square feet. It is already admitted by many that the pro- posed new building is too small, and that “it is only a beginning.” and that the remainder of the block can “or ought to be secured.” If this is actually done the entire area would be 36,417 square feet, and calculating at the same ratio of cost for proposed building under House bill the total cost of lot will be abont 900,000; for building $2,500,000; total #3.490,000; rental calculated at 5 per cent, $170.00. ‘The Postmaster General added that the mat- ter handled at Washington City post office re- quires office space at least equal to the build- ing at Cincinnati, 51,900 square feet, ESTIMATES OF SUPERVISING ARCHITECT WINDRIM were given as follow: ‘0 erect adjoining the present post office building an additional build- ing covering lot bounded by 8th, 9th, E and F streets, connected with present building as ove structure, $2,500,000, To erect a city post office building on squares numbers 323 and 349, bounded by Yennsylvania avenue, C, 10th and 12th streets, with $5,000 square feet first floor area, main portion of building @ one story structure, with two and three story sections ouly on principal street fronts, constructed-of free stone or brick, with stone trimmings, €1,- 500.000. To erect on blocks numbers 323 and 349 a building to accommodate city post office on first floor, and five tloors above, each of 90,- 000 square feet area, $3,600,000, For buildings on Squares 323, 324, 349 and 350, department build- ing facing Pennsylvania avenue, basement and four stories, with 90,000 square feet floor area, and a one story city post office buiiding in rear, with 90.000 square feet floor area, $3.000,000. The above estimates are exclusive of cost of site.” RECAPITULATION. The Postmaster General said: “It is apparent that the outlay for extending the department building on the block adjoining the present building would be as per estimate, $3,400,000, The new city post office in its proposed form would cost $1,075.000; when extended over the full block, #3.400.000. “The city post office and department build- ing could be combined at 9th and F streets or upon a new location for but little more than the outlay for city post office ulune that will ultimately be necessary at Pennsylvania ave- nue, if the House bill becomes a law.” KECOMMENDATLION. Inasmuch as I have been requested to give my opinion fully on this subject I would say that I believe, in view of the facts submitted, that it would be best to appoint a commission consisting of the Postmaster General, the chair- man of the committee on public buildings and grounds of-the Senate, the chairman of the committee on public buildings aud grounds of the House of Representatives, which commis- sion, or a majority of its members, shall be au- thorized to select and purchase a site for the building or buildings necessary to the city post office and the Post Office Department, and that said commission be instructed to report their action to Congress within three mouths from the passage of the bill. Worth Knowing. Hall's Journal of Health, in an article con- demning the use of the drug ammonia aa an in- redient used in certain articles of food, and showing its baneful effects upon the hum: economy, refers to the influence of ammonia upon horses, causing blindness, &c., and says: , “Itis this that produces the pungent aud sickening odor in urinals and neglected stables, It is, in its concentrated form, peculiarly de- structive to the delicate tissues of the animal economy, The action of the ammonia on the sensitive membranes of the eye is the most prominent cause of blindness in horses. Ani- mals that are confined in close stables, where ee m Slowed, bg aie ati able quantity, are, in ition to ness, oulianly Uable to diseases of the lungs and the kidneys, from the action of ammonia The effect of this drug seems to be cumulative, and when taken into the stomach in small doses re- peatedly it is easy to conceive that its action must be iritating to the costing of the stomach, ae to those far more sensitive membranes line the of the urinary appara- tus.” Phila, Record” 2 owt 2. —____ See Satvapar's Star about‘‘Avalon Heights,”* ees A Clergyman in Trouble.
