The \\ in.ier building in Seventeenth*!, is not

long ago outlived its usefulums. Huilt before
the war by Oncrcl Winder, of [ibby Prison
fame, for a hotel, and pulwcjuently sequlr.-l iiy
the (iovirnmeiit under a tax sale title, jt was
never Uitended to meet the requii-etnents of a
pulilio building. It? floor-s are light and ft*?,
and not coustructetl to curry tlie heavy areiglil ul
fllep. And yet the constantly expanding busi?
ness of the (rovernment continues to lie erowdeaj
upon the same floors that wen made to do duty
twenty-five j-ears ago. The bnildinir hus l-v^.i in?
