fuses 10 Pay Taxes.

An important amendment to the public
building laws VIII be enacted al the nsxt
session OF Congress IN accordance with
an agreement reached yesterday By the
House Committee on Public Buildings and

clusioa has been reached that the present
practice OF permitting owners Of sites for
public buildings purchased By the govern
ment to retain the use OF buildings on
such sites pending the government taking

The committee has directed attention to
a case il posnt- 4 few years ago the
government purchased a square Of ground
In Minneapolis with the purpose OF uIti-
mately constructing a new public building
IN that city. The owner was given au-
thority TO retain the use OF the buildings
on the land until such time as the gov
eminent cared 10 take possession Last
year the owner refused 70 pay taxes on
the land 70 the city. contending that the
property belonged 20 the government. and
that he merely had the use OF II under
the terms OF sale. Il is said that the
owner IN question derives rentals aggre-
eating s9S.050 a year from property which
he told the tax collectors belonged 20 the
government. II Is 10 prevent the recur-
renee Of such cases as this that the con-
mittee viii recommend changes IN the
Law whereby the government shall take
immediate possession Of land and build
ings that may be on It which is purchased
Tor public building purposes

The Democratic Senators did most OF
the talking, although Senator Smith, OF
