900, 900 Buildings
Pork Bill Is Reported
to House by Committee

Washington, July Is. "A s35, 90, 900
public buildings pork barrel bill was
reported to the House yesterday by the
committee on public buildings and
grounds. The measure contains a
great many items which are entirely
iustiflable according to its foes, but
an equally numerous lot of unjusti-
fable ones are included in it, they
say.
In reporting the bill, the committee
defiantly defended itself against the
charge that 1t is a pork barrel aggre-
cation" and asserted that the policy
of appropriating large sums of money
for public buildings in crossroads to-
wards towns is entirely justifiable, for
otherwise the citizens of those towns
would never get in touch with the gov
ernment.
Among the items which both friends
and foes admit are justifiable is one for
an appropriation of S750,000 for a
site on which the new customs house
at Philadelphia is to be erected.
Other items for Pennsylvania We're:
Lewistown, $4,000; Sunbury, $40, 900;
