Tha recent appropriation passed by
Congress for building and othe rpro
„ jerts to stimulate employment thru
out the<cmnltiry, in the sum of $332,
. 560,000, was .ordered slashed to the
i cent undem.the economy act. For op
tional public buildings $100,000,000
v was provided,-? and Comptroller Gen
eral McCarl. iriformed Secretary of
the Treas ury Mills the other day that
\ this amount' will be reduced to $90,
000,000. Previous to this session of
(. Congress a building program had
been decided .on and many contracts
awarded. ' But' there was still allo
cated, to be appropriated, $154,345,
•. 000, which included buildings at An
char age and Ketchikan to cost $400,
000 each. Under the new appropria
tion the Alaska buildings can be
taken care of if. the Secretary of the
Treasury so decides. There is not
sufficient funds to provide for all the
buildings allocated, but the Dele
gate’s office has kept in close .touch
with the Secretary and has urged that
the Alaska buildings be selected for
construction, because of their urgent
public necessity and also to, give em
ployment to the many unemployed
now in Alaska, a large part of whom
have gone north from the various
States. For some days past the sub
subject of new construction has been
considered by a joint interdepart
mental committee committee of the
Treasury and Postoffice Departments,
and on September J9 the .Delegate’s
office was informed that a report had
practically been decided on and was
in the hands of Secretary Mills and
Postmaster General Brown* vtho will
decide which buildings arerto! be con
structed. It wa sfurther stated that
the dire need of employment in cer
tain localities will prove an important
factor in making the selections. The
dispatch sent to Alaska newspapers
on August 27, stating that the An
chorage and Ketchikan buildings were
to be included in the new.cctasiaruction
and that bids woul .dbu called,' -for
within 30 days, was .quite mislead

announced, and so far»*fc the Alaska
buildings are conaemedxno fllans have
as yet bee ndrawn, according to a
statement from the Treasury Depart
ment, but t is altogether probable
