Omaha (reduced from $500, OO0) was
passed. -,
Mr.. Bland opposed the next bill, a
$50. 900 appropriation for Bar Harbor,
Maine, which brought Mr.. Milliken to
his feet in defence OF the bill.
Mr.. Bland said for the last few days
the gentleman from Name had been
running around like cockrosch on a
kitchen floor, and now his excitement
was explained by the appearance OF this
Bar Harbor bill.
air. Milliken thought that the gentle
man from Missouri (Mr. Blsnd) was like
the old woman who borrowed kettle
for forty wears then she got anew one OF
her own, aud declared she would neither
borrow nor lend. The gentleman had
got SAG, 900 for building at his little
town of Jefferson City, which was
neither so large nor so important as Bar
Harbor. and now he did not want any
other man to have public building.
The appropriation was reduced to
S25. 900 and the bill was agreed to.
The next bill called up was that for
the erection OF an appraisers building
in the city of New York. The bill con-
tains alternative propositions-for the
purchase of site and the erection oil
appraisers stores at cost limited to a
million and half dollars, and for the
purchase of single site suitable for the
erection OF a combined custom-house
and appraisers stores, or two sites con-
yenient to each other and suitable for
a custom-house and appraisers stores
detached from each other. The cost OF
such site or sites is limited to million
and half dollars.
The bill WAS advocated by Messrs.
Dibble of South Carolina and Cox OF
New York, who explained the necessity
OF accommodations for the public bust
ness provided for in the bill, and said
that the proceeds of the sale OF the
present custom-house property on Wall
street estimated to be worth S3,OOO,
O00-would defray all the expense OF
new buildings better adapted to the con-
templated uses and in O more convenient
locality. The bill was agreed to unani-
mously.
Bills were also agreed to increasing to
$500. 900 the limit OF the cost of building
at Charleston, s. c. ;appro priatlng SlOO,'
600 for an Interstate building at Texar-
kama and 900, 600 for a building at Co
lumbus. Ga, and appropriating 1925.
600 for the purchase of additional
ground at indianapolis, Ind.
in speaking to one OF these measures
Mr.. Kennedy, of Ohio, arraigned the
Democratic party in the House for the
failure TO redeem its pledges of econo-
NV. tariff reform, and care for veteran
soldiers. and asserted that the November
election would visit retribution upon
their heads.
Mr. Dihble considered that the issue
which divided the two political parties
was of a graver and more serious nature
than thel erection of buildings for the
convenience of public business, and
thought that both sides Of the House,
whatever might be their differences on
party questions, should consider busi-
mess uropositiOns without getting into
political controversies.
Bills were also agreed to for the cree
ton of public building at Bay City,
Mich. at an ultimate cost of $3.50, OOC
and appropriating $500, ZOO for a build
