C., Nov. 8.—The At lanta postofflce wilt not be built of marble. That much la certain. Under the bids sumbltted and the money available. It Is Impossible to construct It of marble. Neither will It be built of limestone or sandstone. The supervising architect of the treasury. J. Knox Taylor, now says that the building will be very probably con structed of granite. This will make • nil* . hanv In ill-* an hit»-. tni.il plan-* oh first made, for gianlte building re quires different treatment from a mar ble structure. In order to preserve beauty of outline and construction. While It will be built of granite, the Interior will be marble and a great deal of that stone will be used. The contract will be awarded to one of the six original bidders, but It may be weeks before this fs done. The su pervising architect's office Is busily en gaged now In revising the bids so as t6 make them suitable for a granite construction. It, Is believed in Atlanta by those who have been keeping posted on the new postoffleo situation that there Is now little. If any, chance of the building being constructed of mnrble, but that jOD the contrary Its exterior will be of Georgia granite. This means that Venable Bros, will furnish the granite, for their bid for this material was the lowest, and $31,- 000 cheaper than the lowest bid for the Georgia marble. In speaking of the dispatch from Washington, Mr. Venable said the probable decision of Mr. Knox was caused by the telegrams sent by Congressman Livingston and the Cham, ber of Commerce, and he K Inclined to believe granite will be selected. But even at this there will still be Georgia marble used on the Interior, although the contract will not be such u largo one ax If the exterior bud been of this material.
