"It Is. with difficulty that I find

purchase of a site and the erection of
a suitable structure for Government

J. Cooke, who received word of the

Mr. Cooke was much elated over
the news, more especially as he has
spent considerable time in drawing
up reports for congress as to availa

building, and the probable cost of the
several tentative locations. If the
appropriation Is accepted by congress,
the 75,000 will be divided, two-thirds
being set aside for the construction of
the proposed building; and one-third
allowed for the purpose of a suitable
site.

there has been no room available for

city, all department agencies could be
centered in one convenient location,

Not only would commodious quar
