MONEYTOSPEED
UP NATIONAL
PROGRAM
Outlay This Year to Be Nearly
Doubled Next in Effort to
Bolster Trade Prosperity

Another step in the nationwide
public buildings program, entail
ing an outlay Of $64, 100000 in
the fiscal year beginning July
E /, was taken today when the
House began debate on the second
deficiency bill.
Approval Of the measure, which
includes many important post
office and other Federal building
projects, was forecast within the
next three days.
The appropriations proposed i'll
the measure are in accord with
the 10-year public building pro-
gram launched by Congress in
1925, and speeded in the present
session.
Pork" for Everybody
With it's completion, every city
and town with postal receipts in
excess of $4,000 a year will have
q Government-owned building, ac-
cording to estimates of experts.
The expenditures proposed for
next year almost double the pub
lie building work now under way.
Representative Wood (R0 Of
Indiana, chairman of the Appro-
priations Committee, reported that
$50, SOC, O,OCO will have been spent
by June 80 this year.
With projects already author
ized which may not be completed
for three or four years, Congress
will still be able to provide addi-
tional postoffices next year under
the program, according to Woods
report.
The 1O-year program authorize
tion totals $315,000, 900 for build
ings outside the District of Co
lumbia and $15O,OO0,000 for the
District.
With buildings Ultimately to
cost $263, ,881 900 already author
lied outside the District, there
will still be available about $751;
U00, 900 for future buildings. In
addition, $50,000,000 is expected
J to be realized from the sale Of
old buildings and grounds.
May Bring Fight
The deficiency bill taken up
today adds $25 100000 to the
fund now available to the Treas
ury Department to inaugurate
new postoffice work, and about
$4,000, 900 for services Of archi-
tects, repair and improvement
projects, narcotic farm and pur-
chase of land
With passage of the deficiency
bill, Congress will have provided
funds for 436 Federal buildings.
Some opposition was threatened
to the public building program by
Representative McClintic CD of
Oklahoma on the ground that
too much money is spent in the
District of Columbia. Although
not objecting to the program Of
beautifying the Capital City, he
declared the plan calls for tear
ing down many fine buildings
while the rest of the country is
denied funds for necessary prof.
ectS.

The Census Bureau asks a lot of
questions, and answers a lot, too, but
there are some at least to which 1t
cannot furnish a reply.
With the 1880 census in full swing,
the bureau Is expecting soon the usual
deluge of queries as to particular re-
suits of the enumeration, containing the
usual large proportion of questions
dealing with things about which 1t
does not concern itself.
Out of many years experience one
woman employe of the bureau has COM
piled list of the usual inquiries which
seemingly all-knowing ann Of the
Government cannot answer and believes
1t may save fact seekers a lot of postage
Her list follows:
How many people have blue eyes
brown eyes, gray eyes, in the United
States?
How many people in the United
States are over feet tall?
How many people weigh over 10C
pounds, 200 pounds, 300 pounds?
How many people have been married
Is years, so years, rs years?
How many women wear size 36?
How many people have incomes be-
tween $500 and $1,000?
How many people IS years of age and
over are dependent on others for sup
port?
How many pairs of twins are there In
the United States?
How many persons have one leg, one
arm, one eye?
How many persons wear glasses?
But, aside from inquiries Of this gen.
eral tenor, the United States Census
Bureau will be in position to supply
almost an infinitude Of facts when in
formation now being gathered is tabu-
lated.
