The hope for better postofllce build-

four years is revived by the passage
by the House of the Elliott bil. carry-
ing $150,000,000 for erection. remod-
elling and extension of Federal
buildings during the next six years
with on annual aggregate expendi-
ture of $25,000,000.
Congressman Schuyler Merritt,
of Stamford. stated today that if the
Elliott. bill passes the Senate, as is
expected. within the next two weeks.
he will urge the Secrr‘miy of the
Treasury and the Postmaster Gentr-
al to make allotments from this fund
to meet the building needs of the
three towns in his district. in addi-
tion. to Bridgeport for which he has
introduced bills in Congress.
During this Congress Mr. Merritt
has introduced bills to appropriate
$50, 000 for a. site and building at
Ridgciield, $165, 000 for a site and
building at Norwalk. and $20. 000 for
additional land for the post office
building at Stamford.
If the Elliott bill is passed by the

OTOWNHALLIN‘
STAMFORD IS
SAGGING, REPORT
Has Dropped Seven
Inches During Past
Twenty Years, Ex-
ports Declare
STAMFORD. Feb. 1.--
The Town Hall. which due .to the
nuampy nature of the land on which
it was built in 505. after the dia~
estrous fire that razed the old struc-
ture. bu sunk n. ore than seven inch-
es on the foundation. it was learned
last night. The ground on which
the foundation of the building was
built is known as "sponge marsh"
and Weight continually bearing down
upon it has caused the structure to
sink gradually and the building to
sag on its foundation.
There is no imminent danger of
the building being swallowed up by
the earth and it is estimated that at
the rate the building is sinking on
its foundation at the present time
no one who at present is Ocltizcn
of the community or of the next
fifteen generations will be able to
see the building dcvoured by Mother
Earth.
In 11 talk with a resident of the
city who was connected with the
erection of the present building it
was learned that while the Town
Hall foundation walls were being
laid an electric pump had to be kept
winking continuously to keep the
water out of the cellar so that a per.
manent foundation could be 13.01:.
The building rest- on a mud boos
and a number of stone and cement
supports had to be sunk decp into
the mud before work could be start-
ed on the building.
The swampy nature of the land on
Which the Town Hall is located is
said to have becn caused by the old
canal which ran from a point on
flower Pacific Street to the corner of
Main Street and Quintard Place.
The waters of the canal. according
to tradition. were inclined to over-
flow at times and many town meet-
ing- werc attended by the old settlers
in rowboats.
The men who were engaged in
building the Towri Hall were never
able to reach the bottom of the
marsh. despite valiant exerts on
their part and it was finally decided
to sink a number of pile. and oc-
mcnt uprights into the land to keep
the building up.
A few years ago. due to the sink-
ing on the foundation of the build-
ing. the walls throughout the build-
in. cracked. Thin inoculated now
ceilings in some onion while other:
were patched so that they would
last until it would be necessary to
install new ceilings throughout the
building.
The Town Hall'il apparently in
fair shone and will probably loot u
few more decades. although the cell-
ing- in the police department offices
on the ground floor are in bud oon-
