Congress appropriated $40o,0oo 1or
the purchase of the Site but the owners
Of the property fixed their sale prices
at Il total of $4,000. This was re-
garGed by the treasury as much above
the real valuation OF the property and
an investigation has been making as TO
the values. Some of the property
owners have recently shown an lnclna-
ton to cut down the values liked by

the amount appropriated by Congress.
If this can he agreed upon by All con-
c"rned the site may be bought without

Shaw personally took charge OF the
matter instead of leaving the settle
ment in the hands of the officials Of

There is an appropriation of $4,000 for
expenses in submitting plans. If the
site is agreed upon it is suggested that
the $4,000 be spent i'm scndinGrepresenta-
