st. Augustine NelOS: Now that congress
has reassembled it is hoped that the Florida
congressman will secure the passage OF the
Senate bill to enlarge the grounds Of st.
Francis barracks. Congressman Bullock
showed great interest in the matter last
winter. but as congress was legislating or
rather failing to legislate with reference TO
the fall elections il was impossible TO secure
action by the House on this important
measure Now that the Democratic party
has been so overwhelmingly Endorsed at the
polls it is to be hoped that legislation for
matters Of such general benefit as the bar
racks bill above referred to will be rapidly
reported by committees and passed. Our
citizens are very much In earnest on the
matter as several have written lettert to
Congressman Bullock and Mallory saying
that st. Augustine expects them to use
every effort to pass the bill.
