WlCKERSHAM MAKES
 BUILDING STATEMENT

Delegate to Congress James Wicker sham has issued a statement covering the status of proposed government buildings at Juneau, Cordoya and Fairbanks. It shows that there is s1775OO available for the proposed capital building at Juneau out of the appropriation of S2OO,OOO provided for in the act approved June 25, 1910, $22,- 500 having been expended for the site and preliminary work that has been done. To complete the building for which sketches have been prepared, providing room for the postoffice, cus' toms service. land offices. bureau of mines and steamboat inspection ser vice. according to letter to Delegate Wickersham from the Secretary of the Treasury, would require $15O,OOO more. If the Territorial Legislature, the li' brary and museum, and Territorial ot- fees were provided for. still another $500, 900 would be required. The Sec retary said work on the plans for the Juneau bill had been abandoned pend ing action by Congress.
 March 24, Delegate Wickersham in- troduced bill appropriating the S45O,- 900 that would be required.
 The bill approprlating S250,O0O for a public building at Fairbanks has been reported favorably, and the bill ap- propriating S1OO,OOO for the Cordoya building was approved March 4, 1913.
 The statement of the Delegate says that the introduction of the Juneau bill will probably delay the construction of the Cordova bill and the passage of the Fairbanks bill. While this sug- gestlon is not explained, 1t is probably due to desire of the Treasury De- partment to do the Alaska work all at the same time.
 McAoo's Letter.
 The letter from Secretary of tn Treasury William c. McAdoo, in re- sponse to which Delegate Wickersham introduced bill appropriating an ad- ditional S45O,OOO for a government building at Juneau. was written under date of March IT, 1914. and is as fol- lows:

Honorable James Wickersham, House of Representatives,
 Washington, D. c.

sir:-
 I have the honor to call your at- tentiou to the present situation in con nection with the proposed federal building at Juneau, Alaska.
 There is available for the construc- tion of the building, the sum of $l77,- 800. Sketches have been commenced for a two-story and basement building of about 1O.5OO square feet ground area which will be required to accom- odate the postoffice, customs service, general land offices, bureau of mines, and the steamboat inspection bureau. The walls are proposed to be of such size as will be sufficient to carry an additional story.
 The experience obtained in con structing the Executive Mansion at Juneau indicates that the present fund is insufficient to erect the building as protected and described above, and that an increase of $150,OO0 in the present limit will be necessary for this purpose. including cost of at least $I5,OOO in connection with the ap- breaches, due to the natural contour of the site
 Congress was memorialized in May, 1913. by the Territorial Legislature, with a view to increasing the amount authorized for the Federal building, to provide therein accommodations for the Territorial Legislature. and h- brary and museum, and should this re- ceive favorable consideration, 1t is es- timated that an increase of $SOO,OOO will be necessary to provide the ad' ditional accommodations.
 You are advised that work on the drawings has been suspended and the matter is submitted to you for your consideration and an expression of your views in the pemises.
 Respectfully,
 w. c. McADoo. Secretary.
 Terms of Bill.
 The bill introduced by Delegate Wickersham, March 24. 1914, after re ceiving the letter from Secretary of the Territory McAdoo. which was re ferred to the committee on public buildings and grounds, after eliminat ing the title and enacting clause as follows:
 That the limit of cost for the con struction of a public building at Ju neau. Alaska, authorized by section four of the public buildings Act, ap proved June twenty.fifth, nineteen hundred and ten, be. and the same is hereby, increased by the sum of S45O, 900 to meet the cost of additiona space needed for rooms for the Terri torial Legislature and for the Terri torial Library and Museum to be To cated therein, and the Secretary of tn Treasury is hereby authorized to en ter into contract for the completion of said building within the limit O cost provided in the Act of nineteen hundred and ten, and the additiona limit herein authorized.
