The Senate may take final action
before the end of this week on the
bill authorizing SIS 900. 900 for pur-
chase of land In the Pennsylvan mia ave
nue. triangle for new Federal build
ings, to which the House has added
an amendment authorizing an add
tional 500, 900, Zoo for urgently needed
Government buildings throughout the
country. s4
The Senate has already passed that
part of the bill relating to the District,
but must act on the House amend
ment, increasing the amount to be
spent on post offices and other Fed
eral structures in cities throughout
the Nation.
Chairman Lenroot of the Senate
public buildings and grounds com
nittee has been authorized to move
that the Senate concur In the House
amendment, and IL this Is done the
bill will be ready to go to the Presi-
dent. The measure Is lying on the
Vice Presidents table in the Senate
and will be called up within few
days.
Adds to Available Funds.
The law passed at the last session
authorized $4,000 900 for new public
buildings throughout the country. to
be appropriated at the rate of 500
0O0. 900 a year The House amend
ment to the triangle bill adds another
500, 5000 to the nationwide author
ization and provides that this addi-
tional authorization shall be appro-
priated at the rate of $10,000,000
year.
1t developed yesterday that unless
Congress authorizes this additional

many cities will be left off the list
of projects prepared by the Treasury
and Post OfficewDepartments on Janu-
ary II. or at least have their projects
modified.
With the session fast waning. Sec
rotary Mellon transmitted to the Capt.
toll yesterday a program for expendi-
ture of the 500, 000, 900 already au-
thorized, but with many projects, de-
scribed as urgent, and including New
York City, Philadelphia, Boston, San
Francisco, Los Angeles and other
cities eliminated or curtailed.
Reason for Curtailment.
The reason for leaving them out of
the new list, or curtailing them, it
was explained, was because they were
in States having so many other and
smaller projects. 1t was pointed out,
however. that If Congress approves
the additional authorization now pend
ing, data is in hand that would make
it only question of a day or two
before estimates might be submitted
for the cities eliminated.
This ALLEGATION has been built up
to dovetail into proposed second
500, 900 ,000," the report said. THE

might become too late in the session to
get the appropriation through Con-
gress for the first years work. and
thus we would delay the whole pro-
gram one year."

The bill then went to the Senate. referred to committee, re- ported out without recommendation. and on April 30 was killed by a vote of 2 for to 6 against.
