FEDERAL BUILDING DELAYED YEAR
prlation Of ProbobIy $4,000 for Sec
ond Story and Court Room.


The discovery that the plans for Brat
tleboros proposed federal building did
not provide for a second story or quar-
tiers for holding sessions of the United
States court, which was announced eX-
clusively in The Phoenix Feb. "a, has re-
suited in a decision to hold up the en-
tire project another year in the hope OF
getting an additional appropriation by
Congress. 1t was supposed that the
building would be two stories high, but
when it was learned that the plans pro-
vlded otherwise Postmaster Kittredge
Haskins and United States Judge ]. l..
Martin communicated with Senator Dill
lingham Congressman Plumley and Su-
pervising Architect Taylor to see what
could be done.
AS the law did not provide for stated
terms of the United States court here
Mr.. Taylor could only plan for a one
story building. When he learned that
two stories were desired he suggested
several propositions, one being that the
work be carried forward as planned ana
that the building be covered with tenn
porary roof pending an effort to secure
an additional appropriation, and another
being that the construction of the build
ing be delayed another year, Col Has
kins and Judge Martin favored the latter
idea, in view of the fact that the build
ing once constructed would remain for
all time, and citizens who were con-
suited conceded with that view. AS a
result the treasury department has been
asked not to proceed further with the
plans until after the next Congress,
which will convene Dec. l.
OF the $4,000 appropriated S25,oW mas
been expended in securing the site AT the
corner of Main and Grove streets, leav-
ing $65 900 available for the building. An
extra appropriation of probably sSOwo
will be asked for, also provision Tor
holding stated terms of court here, and
no difficulty In securing favorable action
on both propositions is anticipated.
