MADDEN OPPOSES
D. c. BUILDING BILL
Thinks Omnibus Measure Is
Only Sort That Has Chance
of Passage.
By a stan Correspondent.

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, August L.
According to Representative Martin
b. Madden of Illinois, chairman of the
House appropriations committee, who
conferred with President Coolidge at
White Court today, there Is little
chance of public buildings bill ex-
clusivey for the District of Columbia
at the next session of Congress, as
has been urged for two years by the
president, unless 1t is included in a
general public buildings bill
Representative Madden admits that
he is opposed to bill that would pro-
vide buildings for Washington only,
and he said there are many other
members OF Congress who are of the
same opinion. He contends that even
the Presidents prestige and urging
will not change their views. The lat
ter, according to Mr.. Madden, have no
objection to the District Of Columbia
getting its share OF buildings, IL the
appr ropriation is provided in a gen.
eral bill.
Expects Passage of Bill.
Mr.. Madden expects TO see a build
ings bill passed at the next session In
his opinion it should provide for an
expenditure OF more than $4,000, 900
annually. and the selection of the
locations Of the buildings to be erect
ed and the expenditure of the money
should be left exclusively In the hands
Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
In fact, Mr.. Madden is in reality op-
posed to any appropriation for public
buildings. He thinks that bond is
sue ought to be fioated for such pur.
poses and each building made to pay
the interest rate on the bonds and
provide for their retirement. In other
words, that the money now paid by
the Government In rent should be ap-
piled to paying the interest rate on
the bonds fioated to take care of re-
spective public buildings.
