The proposals to build the Machias Gus

OF the appropriation, have been rejected.

be used called for an outlayof e2s, 900 to
eS2 900 when the architect knew that the
appropriation was less than go 600. No
doubt . substantial building could be err
eeted OF brick with granite trimmings,
Dire proof outside, for the sum appropri.
| ated. II Is TO be hoped that the Depart
meut viii authorize the Superintendent to
buy material and build BY the day. There
would be less ''re1 tape" and more sub
stance In the job.
