LIGHTING FOR BUILDING
is PERPLExING QUESTION
Secretary Bryan's Plan for Illumi-
mating Leased Annex Again Ruled
Out by Controller.

Just how tho building at 17oS-5 New
York avenue. recently leased for the
use of the Department Of State. is to
be lighted Is question that Is trou-
bling Secretary Bryan. George e. Dow
ney. controller of the Treasury, in a
ruling made March Is, and readirmed
on Secretary Bryan's request for re-
consideration, has held that public
funds cannot be used to pay for laying
a conduit to connect the recently leased
building with the light and power plant
of the State. War and Navy building.
The building was leased for one
year. with privilege of renewal, the
owners agreeing to furnish heat, but
the State Department undertaking to
furnish light and power. To do this
would necessiate laying q conduit to
connect the already wired building,
with the power plant in the State, War
and Navy building. This, Controller
Downey says, cannot be done out Of
any public funds.
In his ruling the controller says that
the advisability and desirability of the
proposed conduit extension are not
questioned. but that mere question of
economy in the disbursement of public
funds cannot be taken to Offset the
fact that there is no authorization,
either expressed or implied, in law to
permit the expenditure Of such funds
for a conduit outside the State, War
and Navy building.

NEGRO MADE POSTMASTER.
Selected for Boley, Okla, Which
Has No White Residents.

Postmaster General Burleson recently
selected a colored man for postmaster
in town in one of the southern states,
Oklahoma: he was appointed, and the
action did not cause Il ripple of ex-
citement.
The town where the appointment was
made Is Boley, Okla, town of a
couple of thousand or more inhabitants.
The Office is in the second-class list of
postmasters. The appointee Is Caesar
Simmons.
He used to live in Texas and is
known personally to the Postmaster
General, but that is not the only rea-
son for his appointment as postmaster
in southern town. Simmons also is
known to have voted the democratic
ticket for years, but that. too, is not
the only reason for his having been
selected.
There isn't white resident in the
whole town of Boley. it was said at the
Post Office Department today. And in
the opinion of many persons, that Is
an excellent reason why a colored man
was appointed postmaster.
