Real estate clash over site for federal building in downtown
Real estate interest swirls around locating the new federal building. Prospective sites include Chestnut and Fifth streets with efforts to secure options and push a move through Treasury and Congressman Hull. Proponents argue Fifth street access and proximity to main corners, while riverfront and Locust options are also pursued. Plans show expansion to 50 000 square feet and new streets, with price targets near 125 000 to 190 000.

Delay Sought in Public Building Site Purchase
A strong movement seeks to delay buying a site for a new public building. Opponents oppose selecting a site outside the business district and argue the price should not exceed $150,000 for about 70,000 square feet. They plan to appeal to treasury representatives visiting to evaluate sites and press for a delay until Congress acts.
