the appropriation Of $150,000 for the
erection Of a federal building at Lewis

terests fthe bill. Their argument Is
that an act passed by Congress In
1913 providing for the holding OF Q
term OF United States court at Lewis
burg, has not been complied with be-
cause Of the fact that there is no place
In Lewisburg TO hold term OF thai
court. They point out in their briel
that the postohice at Lewisburg has
