Gran- THE CITY POST OFFICE. ‘The Report of the Committee to Inspect the Some time ago the Postmaster General ap- Pointed a committee consisting of Chief Clerk Cooley of the Post Office Department, Post- master Sherwood and Inspector King to in- spect the present post office building ard to make a report on the advisability of the office remaining there until such time as the new building may be completed. The committee have made their inspection and have made their report tothe Postmaster General. This report is as follows: TRE REPORT. Sm: We had the honor to receive from you the inclosed proposition, dated March 13, 1891, from the owners of the larger portion of the site now occupied by the city post office, offer- ing to make certain changes and improvements in the premises and to lease them to the govern- ment for the sum of $11,000 per annum, the said rental to include the whole of the present site. We had immediate conference with the com- mittee representing the said owners, and their Proposition developed substantially into this: hat they would spend $5,000 in making needed addition ana repairs, and no more. REPAIRS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. To obtain the required space in the enly suit- able place, to wit, the first floor, it would be absolutely necessary to extend that floor by means of a further extension of the shed now along the Louisiana avenue side, so as to cover the reservation out to the outside sidewalk. It would bealso nec to obtain the adjoining building on the enst, to tear out the brick structure in its rear on C street and to extend the first floor of that additional building by means of = wooden structure one high back of the main building ‘The owners of the adjoining building would be willing to lease that builbing and make these additions and repairs for the sum of $200 per month. The total expense pssean pierre therefore, if this plan were cai out, would be $13,400 perannum. ONLY WAY IN WHICH IT CAN BE AVAILABLE. Asa first step a letter was addressed to Com- missioner Ross asking whether the District Commissioners would consent to the proposed extension of the shed on Louisiana ave- nue, and his reply herewith shows that the Commissioners are disposed to agree to that extension, provided all the occupants of business houses between 6th and 7th streets on the same side of the square will give their written consent, in addition to which under existing law it will be necessary to obtain the concurrence of the Secretary of War. The owners of the Broper- ties on the same side of the square, having been consulted, decline to consent to the ex- tension of the shed. Tho further fact is developed that any taxpayer would have a right to go into the courts and ask for an injunction against such an extension or the extension which is already built. We further to report that in our judgment the gum of $5,000, offered to be expended upon the present building, would be far from sufficient to make the initial repairs absolute- ly necessary, and including an elevator (espe- cially in view of the fact that the gas and water pipes would have to be renewed entircly), in addition to which a considerable sum, esti- mated at from $1,000 to €1,500, would annu- ally bave to be spent upon such an old struc- jure. Under the circumstances we are unanimously of the opinion that in no other way can the said premises be made available, convenient and suitable for continued occupancy as a city Post office for five years. Very respectfully, Signed Henry Sherwood. postmaster; W. B. Geoley, chiet clerk, Post Oftice Department; J. . King, inspector in charge Washington di- vision; Hon. John Wanamaker, Postmaster General. ——————————————— THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. 4 Flood May Come, but the Chances Are Now Against It. Col. 0. H. Ernst, superintendent of public buildings and grounds in this city, and also a member of the Mississippi river commission, has just returned from a two weeks’ trip in the south, in attendance upon the semi-annual meeting of the commission. He said toa Stan reporter this morning that they found the river to be very high indeed, higher even than during the great flood of 1882, and yet there have been but three breaks in the levees 60 far. “Still,” he continued, “there isa good deal of danger of a flood, and I should not want to redict that there will not be one. I think, Rowever, that the chances are that the greatest danger has been passed. One of the three breaks was opposite New Orleans, and it has done a great deal of damage, entirely flooding one of the largest plantations in the vicinity. This break was caused by a ‘ries filume.” There have been so many breaks from this cause of late years that the commission at this meeting passed a resolution declaring that it could not consent to assume responsibility for the security of the levees ¢0 ong asthe state of Louisiana carried on its statute books the law —_ permitting the unrestricted construction — of these rice flumes. They are sunk wherover land owners desire them, and there is no super- vision over their construction, so that s great deal of flimsy, careless work 18 done. WHAT A RICE FLUME 18. “A rice flame, by the way, is an iron pipe be- tween eight and sixteen inches in diameter, sunk in the embankment at the natural level, for the purpose of letting water into the rice field, "Of" course the earth of the level has to be cut to a depth of from six to fifteen fect, and after the pipe has been laid the earth is replaced. It is possible to do this so perfectly that there is no weakness made in the levee, but the work is never done so. The earth is thrown in care- lessly without being tamped and there is a hole made at the first wash of the flood. “The ownersof theland do not seem torealize that they are jeopardizing their own interests by this sort of work, andso long as the state Will not take a hand to prevent the thing the river commission will hold its hands off.
