Indicate Saving
If the city were to construct the
same building without federal aid;
that is, issue its own bonds for the
full amount with the usual rate of
interest at six per cent to be sold
on the private market, the total cost
OF bonds would be sl75,000, and in
terest SI36,500. or a total for bond
interest and redemption of S3l1,500.
This indicates a saving to the city
in first cost and interest of sl65, 200

more than will be required to pay
the maintenance and operating
costs of the building for the 25

for the reelection Of President

HYDE PARK, N. Y. Aug. 49,.
(UP).-The critical international
situation and pressing business at
home last night compelled Presi-
dent Roosevelt to shorten his pro-
jected tour of the nations dust
bowl.
Instead of being away from his
White House desk from Aug. %
to Sept. II, the chief executive
will be back in Washington by
Sept. a.
AS plans now stand, he will
leave Washington the night of
August Is and head directly for
Pierre, S.. D., to meet with the
governors of the Dakotas, Mon
tana and Wyoming for a discus
sion of drouth problems and of
the governments relief program.
Later, probably in Des Moines,
Iowa, he will assemble with the
executives of Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska and Oklahoma to scan with
them the needs of their states.
In reply to questions, the presi-
dent said invitations have not yet
gone out to the governors, incllud-
ing Alfred M. Landon, Republican
presidential nominee, but he hoped
to have everything in readiness
within the next two or three
days. = :. .,
The president smilingly declined
to be drawn into a discussion OF
politics but said that Jas. A. Far
lev, Democratic national chairman
probably would come to Hyde Park
one day this week for a survey OF
campaign progress and problems.
Reverting to his travel program.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that Sept. III
would find him in Charlotte, N. c.,
to address the Green Pastures
Seven States rally. On returning
to Washington the next day ne
