The Commission had recommended the appropriation of $1,500,000 to erect & building, but in the opinfon of the Committee it would cost less to secure the site, and an- thiorize the Connnission to procure estinates and plans, submitting them to the Secretary of the Interlor and Postmaster-General, to he by them commumieated to Con- gress, and then such an appropriation could be made as the facts of the case might scem to justify. The Commit- 16 had thought best to go 1o furthier than simply recom suend the purchase of the site, and let the Comlssion be continued.
