 The buildings authorized in places where the sites had already been. ac- ouired by the government would be the first taken up. This means that the buildings at Seymour, Naugatuck, Rockville, Greenwich and Middletown will be taken ID before those author ized at Mystic and Branford.
 The sundry civil appropriation bil'. which was vetoed by President Taft in the last hour of his administra tion, carried appropriations for the compile ton of the work on the buildings at Ansonia Putnam and New Haven, and unless the bill is passed by the extra. session work on these buildings will stop on June 30. as the appropriation will be exhausted on that date.
 There is no doubt in the minds e anyone that the bill will be reintro- duced and passed The clause to which President Taft objected may be omit ted from the new bill. This was 6 clause exempting labor unions and farmers associations from the opera tion of the anti trust laws. Presi- dent Taft styled that as class legis- lation of the most vicious sort"
