WASHINGTON, d. c., May q especially
ellsworth is now assured Of si2 600 for the
enlargement of her public building; Bar
Hsrbor gets $4,000 more for her postofiice,
and it is up to the treasury department to
20 ahead with the expenditure Of the
money as Congress has authorized and di-
rected. The bill has now become a law,
and the provisions are written in for good.
Gov. Burleigh put them in the omnibus
bill at the south end OF the capitol. and
Senator Hale had an eye out for them as
the bill was under consideration in the
Senate. With two such watchdogs on
guard, there was little danger Of either
item failing.

1t will be matter OF months, probably,
before the supervising architects office,
which is iu charge OF the erection and re
modelling OF public buildings, will get to
work on either OF those Hancock county
projects. Considerable preliminary work
is always indispensable. First, plans and
specifications must be prepared. The
work in all probability will, in each in
stance, be let out by contract. As soon
as the plans and specifications are ready,
there must be public advertisement Of
bids and then, after q certain period, the
contracts will be awarded.

The money for the Ellsworth and the
Bar Harbor improvements will undoubt-
eddy be available long before the supervis-
ing architect is prepared to give the word
to the contractor. Gov. Burleigh has been
around to talk with the supervising archi-
tect, Mr.. Taylor, about the prospects, and
has been assured that steps will be taken
toward the beginning Of the work Is soon
as possible. But there is now considerable
work uncompleted that was authorized on
the last public building law two years
ago, and there are scores OF projects on the
law which the President has just signed.
For year, and probably for two years,
the drafting force OF the treasury will be
crowded in preparing plans, and it will
take long while to get around to all the
towns and cities that want their public
buildings completed as soon as can be.
After all, the important thing is to secure
the necessary appropriations. The Ellis
worth building will be enlarged in due
season, and Bar Harbor's new enlarged
postcfice, after legislative struggle of
many years, is now fully assured.

DEMOCRATS

GOVERNOR BROOKS CANNOT GET
SHERIDAN MAN OF THAT PAR
TY TO TAKE VACANCY.
Two Leading Members of Party
at Sheridan to Accept Appoint.
ment in Place of Mr.. Aber, Resign
ed, and Chamber of Commerce is
Asked to Take Hand Also.

In an interview this morning with
Governor Brooks who last evening ra-
turned from a trip of inspection in
Colorado with other members of the
state board of charities, the governor
made some interesting statements re-
garding his position in the university
matter, says the Cheyenne Tribune.
When some months ago | decided
to call a commission to investigate
charges made against the university
management, L was careful to select
men of both political parties, and men
in whom every n in the state would
have confidence. So far l have heari
no criticism Of either that commission
or any of its acts or recommendations.
No Encouragement.
Among the recommendations il
made was one that the board of trus-
tees should be bipartisan, or non-parti-
SON.. But its report showed 6at there
was no misrepresentation of funds or
mismanagement or other ineficiency
on the part of the board of trustees
which would warrant me in calling
for the trustees or any member of the
board to resign.
Consequently the only way in
which this recommendation of the
commission can be carried out, is in
the appointment of trustees to sue
coed those who resign or whose terms
expire.
Democrats Decline Position.
Since the commission reported the
only member Of the board to resign
has been Mr.. Aber of Sheridan.
Since his resignation, l have askei
two of the leading democrats of Sher-
idan county to serve on the board and
they have declined. l think Sheridan
county should have a representative
on the board and so l also asked the
Sheridan chamber of commerce to aid
me in finding a democrat in whom tue
people have confidence, VINO Is quail
fled to assume the responsibility fall
ing upon a board of university trus-
tees and who when appointed would
accept the appointment. | have also
written a number of letters to promi-
nent people in other counties but thus
far have been unable to get a demo-
crat from the north who will accept
a place on the board"
