The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican has this to say
with reference to the outlook for appro-
priations by Congress for new public
buildings in Vermont:
Judge Powers hopes to get through
the House this winter the bill appropri-
ating 100000 for the new public build
ing at Burlington. The bill provides tor
the postofice, custom house and United
States courts in the same building. 1t
has already passed the Senate, under the
manage ment of Senator Proctor, and
Judge Powers will soon take up the mat
ter OF it's passage in the House, with
Chairman Mercer of the commit tee on
public buildings. Gen. Grout is wa ch.
ing for the provision for raising the limit
for the custom house at Newport, from
$4,000 to $125,00O The item is
part of the omnibus bill which was pre-
pared at the last session by the commit
tee on public buildings, providing for a
multitude OF cases where the rise in the
cost of materials made it impossible to
construct proper buildings within the
limit fixed by Congress.

them longer, thus not only causing a

fed separately and differently. for when
