Secretay Carlisle has sent a letter to Representative L. F. Livingston, chair- man of the subcommittee committee on ®ppropriations, Hous> of Representatives, in regard to the action which has hitherto been taken by the Treasury Department in reference to the sale of the government buildings at Jackson Park, Chicago. The Secretary cites section 17 of the act ap- Proved April 25, 180, which directs him to dispose of said buildings at the close of the = | exposition, an@ relates. the unsuccessful efforts of the department to dispose of the same to the city of Chicago. or th> world’s Columbian exposition, to whom preference was given according to law, as siown by the report of a commission, composed of F. T. Bickford, secretary board of manage- ment; C. E. Kemper, assistant supervising architect, and James C. draughtsman who prepared the plans of we of the main building, who were select january 4, 1894, for the pur- pose of ‘ing an investigation and sub- mitting i:s report upon the subject. The commission recommended that all the build- ings be advertised for sale in the daily papers of New York, Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis, giving the cost of construc- tien of each building, together with a brief and that they be sold separate- ly at age auction not later than May 1, 1894, in order that the ‘buildings could be removed prior to May 1, 18%, the date fixed by an ordinance of the South- commission, having jurisdiction over Jack- |- son Park. Mr. Bickford, however, dissented from this report, and submitted his views separately, recommending that in case of failure te receive an acceptable bid all the buildings should be donated to the South commission of Chicago. February 17, 1894, the above reports were submitted to the solicitor of the treasury for opinion as to whether or not the law required an appraisement to be made, as the city of Chicago and the world’s Columbian expo- sition had declined to purchase. The solici- tor rendered his opinion February 20, stat- ing that in his judgment the statute does Rot-coatemplate the appraisement of the except-in the event of their sale to the city of Chicago or to the world’s ex- position, but should this preference be de- clined by either then the said buildings should be sold to the best possible advant- age; that, it seemed to him, would be best secured by due advertisement in the man- ner proposed. The entire appropriation for the buildings having been exhausted, there was no available fund out of which such advertising expenses could be paid, and the department was therefore obliged to resort to other means of giving publicity to the matter. The superintendent of public buildings at Chicago made a report February 10, 1894, in which he stated that he had in- terviewed several contractors and wreck- age sompanies.in reference to the matter; that some of them wanted to be paid for removing the buildings, and others would take it as a gift. He also stated that the only large build! sold at the world’s fair ‘Was the Illinois building, which was sold for $1,600. The Secretary also gives a list of the large number of firms and corpora- tions who were invited to submit bids and those who declined to do so. As no sale could be made nor any acceptable offer having been ~recetved, the department on May 6 sent a special] agent to Chicago to investigate the condition of the buildings and ascertain for what price they could be sold. May 11 the special agent advised the department that he had interviewed fifty contractors and builders and that the Chicago House Wrecking Company had offered 32,850 for the large building, which was $1,700 more than the superintendent's official estimate of its probable selling rice, and that I. M. Condit had offered ‘75 for the small buildings; that certified checks had been deposited to secure both bids, &c. May 12 the department advised the special agent by telegraph to accept the offers and close the matter, if the con- tracts provided for the removal of all the material to the satisfacion of the municipal and park authorities. The special agent, in conformity with the department's in- structions, had contracts prepared, which, with the certified checks, have been trans. mitted to the department and are now held by the, Secretary. The Secretary has not yet affixed his signature to the contracts, it having been withheld in compliance with the a of Mr. Livingston's tele- gram of May 21 that the proceedings should be suspended for a few days, which tele-| 4™’ gram, the Secretary states, conveyed the first intimation the department had that Congress contemplated donating the main government building to the cotton states exposition, about to be held at Atlanta, Ga. The Secretary states that the Chicago House Wrecking Company, who purchased the main building, are now insisting on ; the prompt execution of the contract, and, as the building is now held at the risk of the government, without insurance, he sub- mits that Congress should dispose of the pending proposition at the earfiest possible day. The Secretary states that the con- tract with I. M. Condit for the small build- ings, not being involved in the proposed action by Congress, will be executed at once and the contract price covered into the treasury, but that the contract for the main building will be held for a rea- sonable time, in order that he may con- form to such action as Congress may see proper to take in view of the facts. ~— THE GOLDEN CROSS, Meetings of the Different Command- eries Held Last Night.
