TIE COST OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

TIE COST OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS
The amount of money used to construct
public buildings by the Federal Government
seems almost fabulous. One gets glance at
it through a report recently made by Mr..
Stockslsger, now representing the Third Dis
trict of this State in Congress. He is chair.
man of the committee on public build
ingS," and the report accompanies his bill to
reorganize the Office of supervising architect
OF the Treasury. From 1907 to 1861 there
was disbursed for the purchase or construc-
ton of public buildings sd, s71, 139. Since
1851 there has been discussed for the same
purpose about sec. DOC, 900, making the tots
amount Ss7, $50. 425. Theses sums are ex-
elusive of the District of Columbia. OF the
total given above, there was spent in New
York state SIS, S55, 545; Pennsylvania, So, 1885,
1893 Massachusetts,, S., 239,675 Illinois,
81, us, PSI; Ohio, SO, s54, 234 Louisiana, So
59s, 252; California. s4,S95,s9s; South Car
olins, $S,SS6,SSS, Maryland, S219S, 1884;
Maine, s2.o7s COS; Tennessee, S1,432 932;
Connecticut, s1,OS6 $780, and other states
smaller sums.
Mr.. Stockslager has prepared also, q list of
the maximum limit for each public build
ing as fixed by Congress and by way of con-
tract the amount actually expended after
ward. In almost every case this maximum
limit was largely exceeded. The cost of the
present Chicago Custom House. which was
originally fixed at 81 900 900, exceeded that
less than 90 per cent, which is a moderate
excess compared with some OF the buildings.
The original limit in the case of the Boston
Postoffice wasS1 SOC, O0O and no money was
spent till contracts for the completion Of the
building within that limit were made, and
yet the building has cost over $4,5O0,00O.
The original cost OF the New
York Postoffice was to be $3,000,0 900
and there was the same provision ss
in the Boston Posteffice, that no money
should be spent till contracts for the compile
ton of the building within the limit were
let. The building cost very nearly $1,000.
600. In Cincinnati the limit was $500, 600
Nearly 81, O0O, 900 in excess of that has been
spens, and the building is still in progress
In Philadelphia, the original limit was ST.,
10000. This was increased to 3, 900. 600
and then "a, O00, 900. and the building actu
J ally cost over 5000, 900. This sort Of thing

The territorial auditor has decided ihas
in the matter of the Douglass william, Sar-
toris claims for horses killed because of
glanders, that the bills cannot be allowed
by him because the claimants have not
presented proof as prescribed By law. The
claims were Tor twenty-seven horses aud
mules killed on the goth of June, 50, 995,
and six horses aud mules killed on the
10th Of July, s5ss. 1t is understood that
The claimants have brought suit against
the territorial treasurer.
In the matter of the horses killed By
order of Stock Inspector Van Thomson,
at Sundance, in Crook county, the auditor
has also refused to audit the bill, Be
cause, he says, 'the killing Of the horses
was done in a manner wholly al variance
with the Inv.
In this case the horses, which belonged
to Charles Anderson, were three in NUM-
bea, and were condemned and appraised,
and the county commissioner Of Crook
county recommend that they be paid for.
DR.. Hopkins, the territorial veterinarian.
says that Thomson asked him FOR au-
thority 10 order glanderd horses killed,
and he told Thomson hat he had no au-
thority to deputise any one for such pur-
poscs. but he thought the horses ought
to be killed at the owners expense. The
auditor has directed his assistant here to
say to Mr.. Anderson that he has no au-
thority to audit the claim and issue a war
rant for payment.
The fact is that the auditor dare not
open such a business, but must adhere to
the law. If people cpuld kill horses any
where and at any time, without proper
authority and get pad for the stock thus
