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 a variety of shapes that Off
ciais are prepared for any new out
burst without turning hair.
Louis A. Ayers. lawyer from New
York, called upon Assistant Secre.
tary 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 1t
was 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
iy decided. 1t was intimated that
plenty of time. would follow such
action. in which he could seek to have
the plans of his clients utilized.
And so it goes. Mr.. Newton is
awaiting further advices from the own;
ers of the Irwin plot and will not ac-
cept the Mahuka site until he has ex-
hausted every effort to lower the
price on the Irwin ground until it
meets the governments price and re-
cuirements. He still hopes to ac-
complish that result.
Meantime there is much delay in
interchanging proposals, the distance
is long and change of administration
might come hopping along before any
conclusion is reached. In which event
some other officials would dig up the
problem and begin all over anew.
