Especial Star-Rulietfn Correspondence
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
Honolulu federal building joke bobbed
up at the Treasury Department one
afternoon, recently, assuming brand.
new form. This BIT Of humor has as.
sumed variety Of shapes that Off.
Gals are prepared for any new out
burst without turning hair.
Louis A. Ayers. a lawyer from New
York, called upon Assistant Secre-
tafy Newton. He announced that he
represented the firm Of York & Saw
yer. architects OF New York. He ex-
planned that this firm prepared plans
for the new public building when it
WIS determined, years ago, to erect 1t
on the Mahuka site. He sought TO
ascertain how his clients would be
affected by the lapse of time and the
possible selection OF another location.
But little satisfaction was afforded
Mr.. Ayres. He was advised that the
question Of site had not been definite
II decided. It was intimated that
plenty Of time would follow such
action, IN which he could seek to have
<le plans Of his clients utilized.
