man Owen Scott of Illinois today in
troduced resolution calling upon the
secretary OF the treasury for informa-
ton regarding the progress OF public
buildings in various parts OF the couu

seventy-fve buildings for which APP
preparations were made in 1890. con-
tracts for the erection have been let
for only fifteen. There have been
partial contracts made for ten.
MIR. Scott says the contracts for pub
lie buildings have been systematically

to have been tho policy OF the ad
ministration to avoid every step that
would require cash from the govern
ment.
