TREASURY TO PUSH
BUILDING PROJECTS
All Progress Possible, in
View of Failure of Funds,
Will Be Made at Once.

Although the Senate's failure to en-
act the two public building bills struck
| a big blow at the very expansion pro
gram which Congress itself previously
had authorized, prospects are that
some progress may be made in Wash
ington on certain public structures
for which money has been appropriat
| ed but not entirely expended.
Details of the situation stu remain
to be worked out, It was admitted yes
terday by officials of both the Treasury
and Post Office Departments. A survey
| of the building projects, the money or
| hand and the needs will have to be
made, and decision reached as to how
far the executive branch Of the Gov
eminent may proceed. Preliminary
work was started on this survey yes
terday, although officials had hardly
recovered from the breath-taking blow
which the flibustering and quarrelins
Senate struck in its last few hours Of
life.
In the District it is likely that actual
work may proceed on the Internal
Revenue Bureau, Department OF Com
merce. Department of Agriculture,
Liberty Loan. A site for the Supreme
Court Building may be purchased,
while plans for other structures ap'
proved by the public buildings com
mission may go forward in tentative
fashion.
About s5,575,oOO Available.
Appropriations available for District
projects were said by the Treasury
to aggregate $5,575,000, and when
Congress meets In December, after the
next fiscal year has run about nve
months building bills will be -ein.
PRODUCED in order to carry forward
the plan. =.
In the field outside the District. 1t
was announced that projects under
section Of the public buildings ac1,
designated specifically by the earlier
session of Congress, may go ahead, as
there are appropriations available for
this work, totaling $4,O31 900.
In addition to this there are ap-
propriation balances for deferred pro-
jects authorized prior to the recent
public building act totaling &S,249..
817.24. During the next fiscal year
approximately IS buildings can be put
under contract, against this sum.
The whole program, however. which
had been carefully worked out by the
Treasury and Post Office Departments
has been violently upset by the Senate,
and there must be much recalculating,
reforming of plans, and reallocatton
of projects for early action. through
out the country.
Cities May Send Protests.
1t was freely predicted in circles
outside the Government departments
that members of the Senate would
hear in no pleasant terms from their
constituents in cities which had been
allocated for new Federal buildings,
but will now lose out for a while, on
account Of the wrangle Of the Senate 8

dicted that the Senate would approve
both of the building bills, the one pro-
viding $19,S78,700 for starting con-
