FOR SITES AND PUBLIC
 BUILDINGS IN CONNECTICUT. Rockville $2o,ooo, Putnam $13,o0o, In- cluded in Appropri ations Statement.
lspeeial to The Bulletin.l

Special to The Bulletin.)
 Washington, Jan. 16.-Late Saturday afternoon the secretary of the treas ury submitted to congress his state ment of appropriations required for the purchase of sites and constructor of buildings for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1912. This statement was asked for by the house just before the holidays. and the amounts recommend ed will be Incorporated in the sundry civil bill soon to be reported. thus making the money actually available.
 All the sites and buildings authorized for Connecticut in the last public building bill are taken care of in the secretary's estimates and the work to select sites and erect buildings can now be commenced in the state. The following sites are recommended. Man chester $15,000, Middletown $30,000, Naugatuck s15,000, additional-Rock- vile S20,0O0 and Seymour S15,000
 The following amounts are recom- mended for sites and buildings: Bristol
 5400G in addition to the $6.oo0 already expended, DanburE S25,000 in addition to s15,100 already appropriated. and Wallingford. for the site and the com- pletion of the building, $S0,000. These amounts were authorized several years ago
 Putnam secures s13,0oO for the site and commencement of tue erection of the building, while Stamford se- cures S30,000 for the same purposes.
 New Haven seems to be specially taken care of, and two separate sums are provided for. Under one head $50 900 is recommended for site and continuation of the erection of build ing, while later on in the statement $350, ,00o is recommended for New Ha- ven for site and commencement of the erection of building, making total, apparently, of s400.000. Both provisions are stated to be under the act of last session. and why the two items are separated is somewhat of d mystery. At all events, the money will be appro- priated, and that is the principal thing to be considered

This is the first time the clerks and carriers have held joint meeting, and the Connecticut postal employees want to make 1t such a success that other states will follow the lead.
 Mir Calef invited Postmaster Gen. eral Hitchcock first of all, but was told that 1t would be impossible for the postmaster general to attend He will desg gnate some high official tof repre- sent the postoffice department, how ever. Mir. Calef also tried to secure RepI Iesentative Murdock, who is member of the postoffiee committee of the house. but he is i'll and cannot attend The Connecticut members have all been invited and Major Tilson will probably go. He will also try to get some member of the postoffice committee to accompany him, but it is hard to get anyone from Washington just prior to the closing of the ses- sion.
