President Roosevelt has had the Dell
aware political situation on his hands
further complicated by the resignation
of United States District Attorney VIII
liam ". Byrne, who has been one of the
prominent factors in Diamond State pol
itics in recent years. Confirmation OF
the news has been given out at Oyster
Bay.
The motive for Byrne's act is thought
to have been the belief that he could
not secure the confirmation OF the
Senate for his appointment. His name
was rejected at the last session and he
was given recess appointment as soon
as Congress adjourned last spring. 1t
has been fully understood in political
circles in Washington that Senator Ball
could prevent a confirmation at the com
ing session, II he so desired, but some
doubt has been felt as to how far the
peace agreement between the factions
would operate in settling the matter.
Byrne's resignation is accepted as in
dicating his lack of hope for any differ
ent outcome next session.
Senator Alice has gone TO Oyster Bay
to see the President about the case. and
a warm fight IS predicted, which may
stiIl further disrupt the party in Della

Many Important Structures in
Different Sections of the
Country Are Far Behind in
Construction.
BUILDERS IGNORE
CONTRACT LIMIT
Chicago Postoffice the Most
Flagrant Example Should
HaveBeen Completed More
Than Two Years Ago.

A rather remarkable tendency among
contractors for Government buildings TO
carry on their operations leisurely and
not always mindful of the time limit
agreed upon has been disclosed by the
recent friction over the erection of the
Chicago postoface.
Not less than FIVE mammoth Govern
ment buildings. now In the course of
construction in different parts of the
country. are far behin1 the date set for
their completion, and the Supervising
Architect OF the Treasury has been com
PEELED 10 use stringent measures TO has

law, are daily imposed upon the con-
tractors, but even this action does not
seem 10 bring about the desired results.
large financial loss to the contrac-
tors, a comparatively large loss 10 the
Government. and the Inconvenience of
delay, are the most important conse-
quences Of the failure OF the contrac-
tors 20 finish the work within the re-
quired time. Only in one case can a
satisfactory excuse be found for the
delay. generally due to lax administra-
tion and occasionally to weather condi-
tions.
Chicago Werst Case of All.
The most fragrant violation OF the time
limit clause is found in the Chicago
postofice building. now several years
behind in the construction. The other
buildings also in arrears are those at
Helena. Mon; Denver, Col; Cheyenne,
Wyo., and New Brunswick, n. J. The
estimated cost % these buildings ag-
gregates about $1,000. 600.
In different parts OF the country the
Government IS now erecting about
seventy-hve buildings. Most OF these are
court houses and postofrees, and the ap-
preparation for each ranges from a few
thousand dollars TO millions.
The work is contracted for by the ad-
vertising OF bids. the award going 10 a
responsible firm giving the lowest esti-

Improper Delay in the
Erection Of Buildings
For the Government

tion shall be made by the Federal
authorities, and that a report be for
warded TO the Supervising Architect.
The Chicago postofice incident fully
illustrates the inability of some con-
tractors TO carry out their agreement.
Although the contract called for the
completion of the structure about four
years after it had been begun, more than
six years have elapsed. and the building
is still not ready for occupancy.
To hasten the construction a special
architect was appointed TO supervise the
erection of the building, but the work
still Jagged under his administration.
Recently this architect, Henry Ives
Cobb, was dismissed by order Of Secre-
tary Shaw. and the work is now under
the supervision of the chief Government
architect

delay of two years marked the erec-
tion of the Federal building at Denver,
for which Congress appropriated $780,
600. The original contract was Cancelled
by Government authorities, and the work
was placed IN the hands Of James A.
Mcintyre. of Denver. The change re-
suited in the final completion of the
structural work
The completion of the building al
Helena, contracted for by the Congress
Construction Company, is about six
months overdue. That at Cheyenne
erected by Foster & Smith, OF Minneap-
oils. at an estimated cost OF 1886, 900, has
been delayed mainly by the weather con-
dltions, while the time limit expired sew
ersl months ago. The contract for the
New Brunswick structure is now in the
hands OF the Merrick Construction Com
pany. OF New York. IL having been taken
away from Grieffen G. Co, OF Chicago
The Merrick Company, however, is also
behind in ~ work.
The fine imposed upon delinquent con-
struction averages about s25 for each
days delay An additional penalty is
also meted out for any expense to which
the Government may be put. but in spite
Of these fines the Government loses BY
the dilatory operations of the construct
ors.
Compared with the time required for
the erection of private buildings the
length OF time allowed Government
contractors 10 complete their work is
remarkable.
