Plans are under way for inaugural

BUILDINGS REPORT
EXPECTED MONDAY
Elliott Tells President Quick
Passage of Bill Seems
Probable.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.

! President Coolidge was told today
10y Representative Elliott Of Indiana.
J chairman of the House public build
I inGS and grounds committee. that he
expects to report his S1GI 600 900 gen
! eril public buildings hill next Monday.
: and that. in his opinion, the chances
} "f it, speedy passage are bright II this
J time.
The President was told that the OPP
position 10 the hiil is not extensive nor
! IF Il nature TO impair the progress Of
} the legislation ON The floor. What OH
} jectiOnS have been r1tr.-d thus far are
} minor in nature. Mr.. Elliott said. ana
J can lie overcome an else completely
J ignored.
President Coolidge WAS informed
that the most disturbing element 50
J far has been an energetic movement
started by some of the building indus
! tries and those engaged in Construc
tion work to eliminate that section of
J the bill which provides that SIS. 600 600
shall he spent yearly until the whole
program has been completed. OhieC-
ton to this feature. Mr.. Elliott pointed
} out. is based upon " desire on the part
of those engaged in the building bust
ness to have the Government go easy
on its construction work during what
/ is described as fat" building wears
and to spend during lean" years
| Those who have been urging this have
| been active about Congress. Mr.. Elliott
said. but there appears to he no good
reason for complying with this re-
! quest.
Building Would t.ot BE Upset.
For the Federal Government to
| spend S25 900 ,OOOt u year on building
construction in various sections Of the
country Mr.. Elliott said. would not
| tend tn upset the building market
| Private construction work will he in
no wise impaired. nor will prices be
| boosted nor will there result a scar
| city OF labor. The amount the Gov
eminent will spend annually under the
! terms of my bill will not be suffi-
| GENTLY large to do any harm"
! 1t was minated by Mr.. Elliott that
ne wanted to obtain the Presidents
viewpoint regarding this feature of
the subject before proceeding. He
gave the impression that the Presi-
| dent agreed with him.
Mr.. Elliott intends to incorporate
in his bill that feature reported out
in the Senate which prohibits the
spending of more than S. 900, 600 an
! nually in any one State.
| An executive session of the House
public buildings and grounds commit
tee will be held Monday morning.
