Determined Effort Made to Do
Away With Omnibus Public
Building Bills.
SAY LOSS IS sloo,ooo,ooo
Recommendations Expected to
Result In Lively Fight Dur
ing This Session.

One OF the most forceful blows
ever aimed at pork-barrel legisla-
tion by an administrative officer of
the Government, was swung by Secre-
airy OF the Treasury McAdoo In his an
nual report to Congress today.
After citing what he termed the
waste OF more than s100.000,000 In
public buildings in small towns. and
an investment that would mean a
constant drain on the, natioal rev.
enues, the Secretary made emphatic
recommendation that all pork" be
eliminated from the public building
business.
Attacks Policy.
He scored the policy of authorizing
postoffces and Federal buildings In
wholesale groups. known as omnibus
public building bills" and urged n
policy whereby buildings shall be
authorised only where they are need
ed and justified at reasonable cost.
II Is generally believed IN Admin
lstrstion circles that this recommen-
dalton IL likely to start something in
Congress, for IL Is understood that an
effort Ia to be made during the pres
ent session to get through another
omnibus bill, carrying appropriations
of about S35,o00.000. mainly for post
oihcc ouiiutnks in sHtaii NiliaEeb.
Intrsdueed Last Session.
In fact this bill was introduced in
the House by Congressman Srank
Clark of Florida, last July and ut
that time Mr.. Clark stated that he
expected to put Il through Congress
at this session. II such an effort IL
made II will doubtless prccipitate a
spirited fight. II Is well.known that
many members In both Houses have
completely lost their taste for pork"
and Will resist the passage OF the bill.
Hut should advocates OF the measure
succeed In forcing II through both
House and Senate, the President will
veta II. II Ia declared.
Following are extracts from that
section OF the Secretary's report deal.

This result could be accomplished
by divorcing the public buildings

considerations and authorizing no

made by this department and q full
report thereon has been submitted to

Worth KNOWING.

If vegetables have burned in the ket-
tie put in soda and a little water; boil
a while and the kettle is easily
cleaned.
Sprinkle soda on the grease spots
on the floor, then wash in lukewarm
water and the result is fine.
Soda is good to clean the bowls and
tubs in the bathroom.
