 the building will undoubtedly cost
 much more than had been appro-

 1 The governor explained that the 1 finance board is not inclined 10 au- thorize the start of a construction work and proceed until the amount i Of the appropriation is depleted and | then ask for funds to complete the work. The building when done will be within the appropriation at hand, It does not appear likely that the commission can in any way sacrifice any of the space allotted to the i various departments. and il is not i the plan to skimp in the construc- 1 ton of materials which might later 1 prove q very costly experiment.. l Unless some way can be found
 out of the difficulty before tho next
 regular session of the legislature it
 will mean that the actual start on i the construction of the new build

 After a disappointing experience just before midnight last niGhl, when his boyish enthusiasm over an anticipated extensive night flight was dashed at the last minute by an unfayorablc weather report, the colonel packed up and returned to Los Angeles He intimated that he would make no further glider tests here for an indefinite period but ordered that the camp be maintain cd in readiness for use in the event favorable wind conditions develop.

Later his associates here believe he may scout around for q more favorable glider proving ground if conditions here do not improve.
 kccnly Anticipated Venture
 Last nights projected flight ap- parcntly had been in the coloncIs mind all day, although, as usual he kept his own counsel. During tEe afternoon he rolled up in his blankets on a sunny knoll and slept when the ftful winds were at low ebb. He previously had remarked that the breeze grew brisker at nightfall.
 In a jovial mood, he entertained neWspapermen and photographer at ;2 steak dinner and then led them a chase to the top of hill near Lebec, where his glider was moored. He carried a barograph and sent men tn the tops of nearby hills with rcd lanterns.
 Talks With NeWsmcn
 Working rapidly over the glider, he paused long enough to appeasc the curiosity of tho huzzlng report CTS, already aroused by sight of the barograph, which he had placed in the glider for the first time.
 Lindbergh laughed at them, and then sent them scurrying to tcle- phones.

 Preparations had been completed and he was ready to go on what he would describe only as q soaring eX- pcdition' but what nevertheless was to all appearances expected to be flight of some duration. when the meteorologist of the government weather station nearby informed him that the winds were local in character and could not last for more than two or three hours,
