Washington ' with placards permanently has been revived by the Business Men's association." ' ; Two hundred of these sites were marked for the benefit of the encamp ment "visitors,, each marker bearing s brief history of the location or build ing. A small pamphlet was. Issued, and each article had a number which corresponded with a figure on the va rious signs. These booklets were dis tributed among the visitors free of charge and were the means of thou sands of persons becoming more fa miliar with places made historic by the events of the civil war. ' , , Secretary Bulkley of the citizens' ex ecutive committee, who holds the same position with the Business Men's asso ciation, Is in favor of petitioning con gress to make an appropriation of $5,- OOd for the marking of these points of i interest permanently. It Is Mr. Bulk ley's Idea to , have placed at each of these 200 sites bronze tablets bearing Inscriptions relating to the history of each respective point . V: The Hew District Building. It will be at least three years before the new District building is' ready for occupancy, and it Is likely that It will be nearer four - years. Such Is . the statement made by Supervising Archi tect James Knox Taylor of the treas? ury ; department regarding t the im provement. In which the people of the District of Columbia are much Inter ested. The plans for the structure, ori which twelve architects are working In competition, are to be submitted by Dec, 8.- The decision of the Judge chosen to - make "selection - will - be made immediately after the receipt of the designs. Following the acceptance of the successful architect's plans, the winner of the competition will take up the work of preparing the drawings. plans and specifications. This task, it is estimated by Mr... Taylor, will take from eight to ten months. This done. the work can be given over to the con tractors probably about a year , from now. x The erection of the building will re quire, Mr. Taylor says, from two to three years from the time the con tractors start on the work. Consequent ly the end of 1905 is about the time that T Washingtonians can expect to transact business with their local gov- ernment in the new structure devoted to Us purposes. -The limit of cost set by congress for the building Is $900, 000, excepting mural decorations and painting. . . , HcKlaler's Favorite Parrot.
