Civil Branches in One Building

In effecting the consolidation and reorganization required under the new legislation based upon the recommendations of the President in Tegard to the foreign services of the United States, we have now brought all civil branches of the American Government at Shanghai together in one building, in the central part of the business and banking district of Shanghai.

On the third floor one finds the new consolidated unit including the Commercial Attache, the Agricultural Commissioner, and the China Trade Act Registrar; on the fourth and fifth floors, the administrative and executive offices of the Consulate-General; on the sixth floor, the U, 5. Court for China and the U. S. Treasury Attache; and it may be of interest to note that on the eighth floor is the U.S, Navy Purchasing and Disbursing Office.
