fight for a public building in this city.
A telegram was received this after
noon, stating that $4,000 had been ap-
propriated for public building in this

out week or so ago, stating that the
whole 100000 had been appropriated,
but this was found later to have been
a bill simply passed upon by the COM
nittee to whom it was referred along
with others, and sent to the committee
on the whole with favorable action on
the part of the former committee. The
latter committee, however, seemed to
have fish of their own to fry so to
speak for when their report was
Forthcoming it was found that they had
not reported favorably on this bill
along with others.
Nothing daunted. however, Congress
man Weymouth set to work to right
what he considered a wrong, and sue
ceeded in having the committee recon-
slider their action. although the major
ity of the politicians at the capitol
were much afraid that nothing could
be done. Mr.. Weymouth, however,
persevered in the face of every opposi-
ton, and as a result the committee re-
ported bill for $4,000, which was
passed by the house this afternoon
