IN REGARD TO NEW
POST OFFICE BUILDING
The following Is sn extraot from a
letter received this date from Hon.
Wm. G. Brantley. It explalne Itself.
We all regret that the poetofllce could
not- he built of Georgia marble, but
wo understand that the Vermont mar
ble Is vfery fine.
This Is the estract:
Washington, D. ft, March 28, 1011.
Judge A. P. Perham, Waycross,- Gs.
Dcar-Judgo Perham:—1 recalved to
day your telegram, asking me to jvlre
sou particulars about tho post office
contract. I Immediately called at the
ofllce of the Supervising Architect,
and learned that the contract for the
bLildlng had been awarded to Am
bi-oie B. Stannard, St. James Build-
Ins. New York City, and requires the
1 sliding to he completed by April 1st,
1012. I understood every thing bad
been completed In the matter of awar
ding tbo contract, save tbo approving
ol the Contractor’s bond, which has
not yet come in. The change made
In the plans, resulting In a readver-
tlsoment waa the substitution of mar
ble ha the building material. As 1
understand It, the building will be of
marble up to the cornices. I regret
to, say In this connection thst tbo
marble will be Vermont marble. It
seems to me that Georgia marble
should be used, but the Supervising
Architect Instated on tho bids sub
mitted, tbe Vermont marble was tbo
cheaper, and for that reason will bo
usod. I looked over tho general plans
it tbe building, and It seems to me
that It will bo quite a handsome, com
u,odious and convenient building,
when completed. AH post ofllce build
ings aro now constrnctod that when
tho demand for more post ofllce room
r ilscs, It‘Is a very simple matter to
obtain It, by adding to the bonding.'

eration of Indffstrtnl departments'of

It Is more than likely that views tak

road In the state will be* fumiehed
grails. It has'been estimated that a
slate working together In this manner
cun send' In one day at least a million
post cards, covering evory etato In
