to $4,000 for each violation. The case Is
to be presented at albuquerque because the

NO APPROPRIATIONS
Congress Failed to Give Money for Hall
of Records,

Congress failed to make an appropriation
for the construction of hall of records.
and the office of the supervising architect
is doing nothing toward plans for the build
ing. In January, 1904, the Secretary of the
Treasury sent to Congress, an estimate OF
100000 for the erection Of the hall OF
records, but Congress has paid no attention
to the estimate and nothing can be done.
The site for the building, all except one
lot, which is still In litigation, belongs to
the government, and that lot will also soon
be in the hands of the government but
nothing can be done without the appropria-
ton.
