SPEEDING UP FEDERAL BUILDING PROGRAM

In an effort to bring about a re- turn to more or less normal condi- tions by furnishing as much employ ment as possible plans are now under way in Washington to speed up the governments building program and allow expenditures of more than the $50, 100000 yearly maximum allowed by law. The list Congress increased the total amount to be expended over a period of ten years by S230,000, ,000 bringing the total sum to be spent up to S553, ,00O,O0O Three hundred and sixty-three millions of these dol lars were to be spent in various parts of the country on government structures. post offices, court build ings, custom houses and so forth, the remainder was to be spent in the District of Columbia.
 If it were decided to spend, at once, a greater part of the sum than the s5,000,0o0 allowed by law Con- gress would have to approve of the action. The letting of contracts, com-
 pleticn of plans, and other details which were otherwise booked for year hence would take considerable
 time before there was action and , before the returns from construction
 would begin to filter into the work
 ingman's pockets and thence into general circulation. Immediate relief would be forthcoming by the speed ing up of work now under way or
 which is to begin before the end of
 the present fiscal year, ending June 50, 1881.
 The total annual construction bill for the United States is usually esti- mated at between seven and eight billion dollars. with works construct cd and paid for by the government usually amounting to about four per cent of the total. During the first ! half of the present year govern ment contracts classified under
 public works and utilities" have to- tailed s954,605,0oo as against sS39,- 73S, 500 during the same period last year, These figures include highways,
 water front improvements and SC forth.
 According to recent estimate of the Department of Commerce build ing construction contracts in the
 United States during the first six months of 1880, covering 37 states, amounted to S2,632, ,O12.9oO and total contracts in the same states for the entire calendar year of 1929 were S5,754, 800, Should the next six | months of this year keep pace with the first six months the total build ing should not be far behind that of
 last year, but it is a regrettable fact
 that during July of this year con- struction contracts amounted 10 s367,52S,40O against s652.436,1OO, Tn
 July 1929 a falling off of 436 per
 cent for the month and bad omen . for the years total,

Enemies May Use Woods Candidacy to Supplant Him.

Enemies May Use Woods
 Candidacy to Supplant Him.
 Weighing the results of the re- publican probate court primary Thursday, political seers are at- tempting to draw aside the curtain of the future to see whether Prose- cutor Woods position is threaten ed by his defeat by Attorney Gen. eral filling.
 The prosecutors term of office expires in April. He is elected by the common council which seems to enjoy being led around by the nose by the powers that be. By his opposition to the organization, which supported filling, he left his position open to attack by those members of the council who have not enthused over him in the past. Flying in the face of the organiza- tion-unless your name happens to be Quigley-is less majeste and the penalty is thumbs down.
 For several years an anti-Woods faction has existed in the common council. The prosecutor was elect ed for his present term by nar- row margin and it is not unlikely that his enemies may attempt to climate that margin entirely next spring. None has spoken publicly in criticism of Mir. Woods but pol itics is politics and the desire to re- place him is based chiefly on the hope of elevating some special fav- orite who wants the job.
 Getting a political post, accord ing to those whose experience has given them wisdom, is not as diff ficult as holding it. From the time a man takes the oath of office, there are forces at work trying to undermine him for the sole purpose of promoting the candidacy of someone who is on the outside looking in. The office of prosecutor is no exception to this general rule. No doubt MT. Woods oppo- nents will try to cash in on his op- position to MT. filling at the pri- mary when his term expires.

 In the meantime Mayor Quigley's status as a candidate for the repub- lican nomination for congressman remains unchanged. Since his an- nouncement a week ago that he was considering entering the lists, no words on the subject have come from his lips to drop into the ears of the reporters who are on the City Hall firing line.
 Mayor Quigley is wisely playing a watchful waiting game. He can afford to sit quietly and watch Congressman E. Hart Fem and Clarence W.

The may or occupies the position of waiting to see what happens at the con- vention. If the delegates are unable to agree on a candidate. there will be one ready to step into the breach and permit the nomination to be forced upon him.
 At this writing, it is not improb- able that this situation will be created, Seymour's campaign gen erals are claiming a runaway for their candidate. Fem counters with the statement that his rivals sta tistics are full of holes. At present it is impossible to predict which candidate has the inside track. The Seymour contention. for example, that he has the Southington dele gation virtually sewed up may be open to question. The four dele

In the absence OF any heated de-

the benefit Of the society for adj
vancement of heavyweight cham

crown that Risko and Canpolo may

ten rounds or less, and substantial
interest has developed in II. Cam
polo's fistic future in a field In
which he is among the few sizeable
rivals for Gargantuan Primo Car
nera is involved in the outcome.
Likewise the prestige Of rough and
ready Johnny Risko, claSsed as too
small to oppose the Argentine in
New York, is at stake.
To put these rivals more in the
spotlight, Campolo packed his train
ing toys today for a shift in the
scene Of his workouts from Coral
Gables to a Miami beach casino not
far from Sharkey's camp. Risko
prepared to hustle in from Holly
