Passage Of Elli0tt-FeTnaId Bill
 Assures Improvement
GEORGE II. MANNING

(WaSnlngton Bureau or N IS. heTatd.)
 Washington, May S.-The remod- cling and extension of the New Britain post office building within the next two or three years LOW seems practically assured through the passage by congress of the Elliott -Fernald bill.
 This bill, as passed by the senate on Wednesday, is in substantially the same form in which it was adopted by the house on Feb. 15. Consequently 1t is expected that but a few days will be required for thc senate and house 10 reach an agree ment over the amendments made by the senate.
 It is generally believed that these amendments will be agreed upon without much controversy and that the measure will be signed by President Coolidge within the nert two weeks The administration gave the measure it's approval sey- eraI months ago.
 The bill authorizes appropriation of Sl65,00O,000 to be spent under supervision of the supervising archi- tect, treasury department, with the approval of the secretary Of the treasury and the postmaster general on a six-year government building program for purchasing sites, con- structing, remodeling and extending public buildings all over the United States.
 Fifty million dollars will be ap- piled to departmental buildings in the District of Columbia and $l0o,- 100000 to buildings in other cities and towns in the various states, to be spent al the rate of S25.o0o,G ,G00 each year. The remaining $15,000,- 900 goes 10 purchase of sites and completion Of buildings already au- thorized where the amounts appTo. priated several years ago are not now sufficient, owing to advances in building costs.
 The necw for extending and re- modelling the postofice building at New Britain was presented strongly 10 the house public buildings com mittee during consideration Of the Elliot -Fernald bill last January by James A. Wetmore the supervising architect Of the treasury, under whose direction the entire $165.O00,- 900 will be expended. Mir Wet more estimated that $1S5,o0o will be needed for demodellIug and extend ing the post office building in New Britain.
 The Elliot-Fernald bill is the first public building bill that has been passed by congress since 1913, and is a radical departure from the old style of public building legislation which was framed largely upon the influence members Of congress were able to exert instead of being based upon the actual need for a new building. President Coolidge in his last budget message characterized thr old system as "a general par ceiling out Of favors that usually bears a name lacking in good re- pute."
 The fundamental idea Of the El- itot bill is to eliminate the old style of pork barreI' legislation, by which the various members of con gr-ss pulled strings and exchanged Glvors to secure public building plums. IL puts tho determination Of the building program up 10 the treasury and post office department
