MONEY LACKING
no FUNDS TO ERECT THE PUB
Lie BUILDINGS VOTED.
Congress Made No appropriation
and No New Po>tofficcs May BE
Ruilt in This state.

The Washington correspondent OF
The News and Courier says because
OF an inquiry made day o! TWO
ago bv Postmaster Spence. OF Char
lotte. y. C.. OF Supervising Arch!-
why there was no money forth com
ing al the present time for the en-
largement Of the present postoihte
building at ;ha; place. il has been
found tha, although Congress. on
June is last, voted 70 pass public
building bill. carrying what was sup
posed 10 be genera! appropriation
Of something like $4,000. 900. 'heie
is 40, dollar now available fer the
construction of new buildings from
such Act.
Ordinarily such actual appropria-
tons would ne made under the sun
dry civil bill al the opening session
OF Congress and the purpose OF the
law carried out. but as matter OF
fact. however. nothing has been done
except favorable consideration OF
| authorization" so far as actual
money is concerned. with the e1cep-
| ton OF the purchase OF sites.
All the towns in North and South
Carolina. Georgia. Tennessee. Virgin.
ia and Florida. and. in fact. else
where in the United States. which
are waiting for work 70 begin, are
without money at, this time. and
may in certain contingencies be leti
high and dry.
Should a panic hit the country this
fall. it is probably that nc; dolla:
OF these authorizations would eve!
be seen. I; is also quite probable
that II the House goes Democratic
the Republicans may decide TO cur
tail expenses and proceed no further
with public buildings until atter tht
next Presidential election.
II everything goes along quieh!
the actual money for aew building:
will probably be voted this winter
but as yet. there is not cent avail
able for any new buildings for which
authorizations were granted a: ta'
las; session. peculiar as the situation
ma, seem.
