The following is from a letter re-

Walker. Washington, D. C.:
There is no immediate prospect of
action at the treasury department on
the public building at Skowhegan. a
list of public building projects was
made at the department in July and
the Skowhegan building stood 40 or.
that list 1t was stated at the post
office department this week that tenta =
tive plans for Skowhegan had begun.
but this was denied at the Office of
the supervising architect Of the treas
ury. A great deal Of work seems to be
ahead of the Skowhegan project, and.
from all appearances, plans will not
be completed. contract awarded and
ground broken for another year."
