The Sundry Civil bill had four public b. ild

gate of 100000. Of this $4,000 was for Ban

postoffice. This is one of the public building
projects in Maine that has been hanging for
years. Senator Burleigh, when a member of
the House half dozen years or more ago, OBJ
tanned the appropriation for the site. Then
Representative Gould, Democrat, bore a
hand while he was at Washington and got the
initial appropriation for the building. Caribou
and Rumford get only 81 900 for the commence
ment of their buildings and of course there
will be protests from both localities over such
a meager appropriation. The Senate may in
crease it.
Maine, however. fares much better in this
regard than New Hampshire or Vermont.
There is only one Public building appropria-
tion for New Hampshire which is $4,000 for
an extension of the building at Concord and
one for Vermont, which is $4,000 for complet-
ing the building at Brattleboro.
