Rep. Brown reads bill of which he
had given notice.
Minister Of Interior answers question
Of Rep Lucas as to why he had called
for tenders for construction of a Govern
ment building on Esplanade when there
was no appropriation for that purpose.
The question assumes a fact which
does not exist. There is an appropria-
fion for the purpose, and it is in force
until July 81 The buildings there are in
3 ruinous condition, and a freproof
building ought to be put up. The law
requires the calling for tenders.

thing IN his power to prevent it. The
thing that he did not do was to go down
