WASHINGTON, May 6.-While the
amount of money that New Jersey viii
get in the public buildings bill is still
In doubt, because the bill has not yet
been agreed to by the conferees on the
part of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives, United States Senator
John Kean has introduced bills aggrc
eating $500, 900. These bills are for. a
building at Morristown, $75,0 900; site and
building at Bayonne, 500, 600; site and
building at Passaic, $3.50, 900; site and
building at Hackensack, 500, 900; site
and building at Plainfield, $4,000, and
to increase the limit OF cost at Jersey
City 500, 900.
The House committee on public build
ings and grounds, of which Representa-
tive Howell, of New Jersey, is a MEM
Der, has not reported any bill. AS u
result, it is not known what appro-
priations will be made by the commit
tee for New Jersey projects. There is
a possibility, however, that some of the
appropriations may be about as follows:
To increase the limit OF cost at Jersey
City, $10O, 900; Morristown building, $751;
900; East Orange site. $50. 900; Orange
site, 4fO,UUU, anu pOSSlply an dpprO-
priation for Woodbury. Of $16, 900.
The public buildings bill will be one
of the last measures reported, it is
understood. Naturally, nearly every
congressman is interested In obtaining
an appropriation of some sort for his
district. 1t is looked upon as legitimate
"spoils,'' If that term may be used, and
the congressman who fail to get their
share are envious of their more sue
cessful colleagues. An effort Is being
made to keep down the public buildings
bill to less than s16, 100000. If the bill
reported in the House is that amount
the Senate will probably add five or six
millions to it, and there is a strong pos
sibility that the bill will be close to
$40, 600, 600 when 1t comes from the
! Senate.
