have each introduced a. bill in con-
gress for public building at Bis
narck to cost $500, 900 but inasmuch as
the coming year has a presid ential
election on its hands and congress will
be very economical, it is improbable an
omnibus public building bill will be
passed, without such measure there
is absolutely no probability Of indiVid-
tual measures passing. In order to OBJ
tain building proportionate to the
requirements of the public offices at
Bismarck, requiring something like
10000 square feet of door surface and
costing from $500, 900 to 100000, ii
vii be necessary to have a united
