OTTAWARESIDENCE PURCHASED BY U.3. Price for Beautiful Home for Minister Within $325,000 - Allocation. 8% the Associated Press. . Purchase of one of the most beau- #iful homes in Ottawa as a residence for the American Minister to Canada was announced yesterday by the State Department. ‘fThe purchase price was not dis- elosed, but it was included in a $325,- 000 allocation of the Foreign Service | Buildings Commission for buying, re- modeling, decorating and furnishing the residence. An office building for the legation was completed in 1932. The new legation property consists of approximately nine and one-half acres of woods, lawn and gardens on the outskirts of Ottawa, with a com- modious house and garage. Other Projects Considered. The Foreign Service Buildings Com- mission, headed by Representative McRéynolds, Democrat, of Tennessee, also is considering construction or | purchase of other buildings in foreign countries. A new Federal building will be con- structed in Shanghai, China's great- est port, at a cost of $750,000. It will | provide living quarters and offices for the staff of the consulate general, United States Court for China and other governmental agencies. | A legation will be built in Helsing- fors at & cost of $300,000 in recogni tion of Finland's prompt payment o its war debt. It is the only European war debtor which has maintained its payments on due dates and in full. $250,000 for Brazil. An allocation of $250,000 has been made for purchase of property in Rio de Janeiro to serve as the official residence of the American Ambassa- dor to Brazil. In addition the commission is con- eidering reallocation of $1,100,000 pre- viously earmarked for construction of &n embassy in Moscow to building | purposes in other countries. Chilled Soviet-American relations and difficulties encountered by Amer- fcan officials in carrying out their proposed plans have made it advis- able, it was said, to delay construction | in the Russian capital.
