Tho granite workers of Llthonla,
Stone Mountain, Conyers and Atlanta
have addressed to The Georgian a com.
munlcutlon favoring the use of granite
for the exterior wall of the new At
lunta postofOce. The communication
follow*:
"It Is our purpose to call special
attention to th* moat desirable build
ing material for the new postotflee for
the city of Atlanta
"It has been understood by recent
newspaper reports that the entire au-
i>er*tructura ta to be built of marble,
but It aroma that any one Interested
In th* welfare of Atlanta and Its vicin
ity ought lo gtvo much thought and
consideration to the material to be
used In such a gnat building of our
government. When we consider the
fact that they Intend to furnish ac
commodations, not for the present only,
but for future generations. It Is much
more Important that the , people In
whose midst this building Is to be
erected should aaa to It that the very
best and moat durable material should
be used
Atlanta being situated In the very
heart of the great gran!
very fortunate, aa It Is a wal
fact that goes without argument that
ganlte Is the moat durable building ma
terial for exterior purposes. This was
largely proven In the recent eatthquakc
at Ban Francisco.
“As to the grandeur and artistic
beauty of such a building are have only
to visit New York city and exumlne
the mansion of Senator Clark, so re
cently constructed of granite.
"It Is reasonable to suppose from the
groat number of public buildings erect
ed of granite In vnrluus cities of the
T'ntted Slates that the department at
Washington would favor granite. If
their attention la. properly directed to
It as to Its availability, and wa are sat
isfied Hint our senators and representa
tive* will give the proper attention P
this matter If the rltliena of this ace
ttr.n will urge such action on their
part, for It la a well known fact that
they have great Influence In selecting
the material for such buildings In the
statca or districts which they repra-
went ;
Now we, the grnnlle workers and
contractors of Atlanta. Slone Mountain,
LHhonlu and Conyers, Insist that the
people of tbeso communities most earn
estly request our senators and con-
m ssmen to see that the exterior walls
f the now poftofllcc for Atlanta
built of granite anil the Interior walls
of marble.-We consider that It would
he a great reflection on the granite In
dustry for It not to lie used In the
building, when It Is at the very door
of Atlanta, nnd that one million dollars
Is distributed annually In this rommu-
nltv for the necessary labor to handle
the Industry.
"This building erected of granite on
the exterior and with n marble Interior
will be a lilting monumental emblem
of Atlanta's greatness, as the granite
will typify the durable uml mdld char
acter of the city, while the marble
would represent their beauty and the
culture of her iieople. Re*|s-ctfully,
“GEORGE H. HARDEMAN.
