The Eisele Site Is Barred Out

It Does Not Measure Up to Size Required

Word From Washington

From the Chief Supervising Architect Contains This Information as to Proposed Postoffice Site

A letter received last week by a gentleman in this city from Government Supervising Architect Taylor, of Washington, D. C., contains the information that the Eisele marble yard site for a post office, or in other words, the triangle formed by Detroit and Catherine streets and N. Fifth avenue, could not be considered for a postoffice site on account of its size. It does not meet with the requirements of having at least 15,000 square feet of space and so is out of the race for a postoffice site. The proposed site measured a little less than 14,000 square feet.

No outside inspector has been here looking for property, as rumor has had it. The site spoken of above was brought to the attention of the department by correspondence from Ann Arbor.
