I ings. the site and the architectural
work VIII be in readiness for work
/ upon its erection.
Judge King found that nothing
whatever was being done toward car
rying out the provisions of the appro-
priation. When Mr.. Cages attention
was called to the matter he accepted
the suggestion of Mr.. King as a good
one. but stated that he was inclined.
before making such expenditures, TO
wait and see how the operation of the
Dingley bill is going to affect the
treasury.
Judge King explained that it was
mandatory upon the secretary to eX-
pend the money before that time ar

termine what will be done.
in the drift of the conversation Sec
rotary Gage said that he believed Salt
Lake City was entitled to a building

of the secretary of the treasury, it is
considered, will aid in securing a liberal
appropriation for the purpose stated.
