WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-When citizens of a municipality learn that Congress has authorized the construction of government buila- ing in their city 1t may be that they expect to see the structure shooting skyward in a day or so.
 But to those who understand how painstaking government off citls must be in selecting sites through acquisition of land in the construction of buildings, the req sons for the delay between the au- thorization and starting Of con- struction are clear.
 After the appropriation is made the Treasury advertises for bids which are opened publicly. The lowest price asked for a piece o1 property does not necessarily cause it to be selected. The bids are turned over to a Treasury De- partment site agent and a post of- flee department inspector for Jolnl inspection of the various sites or fered.

MP4NTONATE LOVE
 FINDS WAY AROUND
 THE U. s. QUOTA LAW
By ARTHUR POWELL GA. p. Correspondent)

HAVANA, Dec. h. Matrimony has cracked the United States inn migration wall and marriages be- tween Anericen citizens and alien women have become an important Cuban industry.
 As the immigration law Is now interpreted, citizens of the United States may wed on Cuban soil, and after a residence of 15 days, ap- ply for permission to enter their wives into the United States. Many of these marriages are not made with any intention of fraud on the part of husband and wife, bnt theY are frequently a.mea against tia American immigration r. fe ieits
 The marriage ceremony. IL ia se cases, is legitimate enough but D reality a farce intended to forcz the legal entry of the wife inta the United States. There are in stances where this form of matri- mony is the culminatien of q TO- nance started in Europe. Tha husband attained American citi- zenship and made a home for hi bride only to find the immigration door barred against her
 eearIne Law
 Usually the method for beating l the immigration law is effected bS the man sending the woman pas. sage money from her Lome ti Cuba. He then arranges in Cubs with responsible parties acceptable to the Cuban authorities for hei reception and care. The prospec tive bridegroom takes matters II with the state department and theI comes to Cuba armed with con elusive proofs of his status. Fron then on it is smooth sailing ant loving couples are often seen sit ting in the parks of Havana wait ing patiently for the day whel they may be permitted to maki the journey north. Should no pro vision be made for the woman reception in Cuba she is detainel here until the man she is goinl to marry Is communicated with o arrives.
