the city az they saw them.
Senators Martin and Swanson and
Mr. Montague accompanied the Rich
mond men to the office and expressed
much interest in the effort to straight
en- out the tangled skein of conflicting
interests
IL was the view of the senators that
az the government is endeavoring to
keep down appropriations and ex-
penses to the smallest amount on ac-
count of the war and other condi-
lions. there would be great difficulty
in getting through any appropriation
bills for some months, or perhaps, for
several sessions.
The date for the hearing has not
been set. as Postmaster Burleson has
not appointed his representative, but
as soon as the day IN arranged the
officials promised to notify the Rich
mond representatives. AT the hearing
everyone will be given chance TO
express his view. While officers of the
department have twice reported against
the purchase of the site adjoining the
present Federal Building. Secretary
Newton stated that this should have no
bearing on the present hearing.
