Public Grounds and Buildings will re-
advertise for bids for the construction

Brumbaugh's Office declared to-day
that there was nothing to the New
York story to the effect that the Gov

offered to Pennsylvania should be
given to New Jersey because this
State has no aero corps. 1t was stated
that some time ago offers to present
Iaeroplanes had been made to the Gov

State is without any appropriation to
care for such machines or to maintain
a squadron it was suggested that the
matter was one for the federal gov

used only in accordance with statu-
tory provisions and it is held there is
no authority for aeroplanes in the
militia act.
