HOUSE UNIT VOTES
P. v. A. EXTENSION
Bill Would Give Agency Two
More Years of Life and
S256,OOO.OOO.
B, the Associated Press.

B. he Associated Press.
The House Appropriations Commit
tee recommended legislation today to
extend the Public Works Administra-
ton for two years and authorize it to
use approximately s256OO0,O 900 for
loans and grants.
The measure, although making no
direct appropriation from the Treasury,
would renew the agency's power to
use the S95,0000O0 unobligated bal
ance in its revolving fund for grants
and authorize it to sell an additional
$40 100000 of its securities for this
purpose.
A similar proposal was made yester-
day to a Senate Appropriations Sub
committee by Senator Hayden. Demo-
crat. of Arizona.
He would have the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. cash P. w. AS revoly-
ing fund. so as to provide S325 900 900
for continuing P. w. A. on an active
basis.
Depends on President.
Availability of the S256 600 900 pro-
posed in the House bill would depend
on President Roosevelt's revocation
of an administrative order restricting
their use. Maj iority Leader Rayburn
told the House earlier in the week the
President had agreed to revoke the
order in return for withdrawal of en
amendment earmarking 100000, 900
of the 81 1900 ,0O0,0 900 relief fund for
P. w A.
In addition to S135 100000 which
the committee recommended for
grants, p w. A. already has available
for loans a total OF sl24,OO0 900
against which applications are pend
ing from communities which have
authorized bond issues to finance
their share of the cost of their prof.
ects. About 100 projects to replace
so-called 'fire-trap" school houses
also would be available for loans from
this fund.
Expiration Set for 1893.
Only projects already approved by
p W. AS examining division would
be eligible for either loans or grants
under the extension measure.
The bill provides for expiration OF
P. w A. on June 30, 1889
With the funds provided in the
bill" the committee said, the United
States will be able to discharge all
of the obligations that any COM
munity can reasonably expect in con-
nection with Public Works Admin
istration activities"

Epidemic of
Addressless Cards

The old gag about the mail be-
ing late because the postal clerks
hadn't finished reading the post
cards sometimes isn't too far fetch
ed. Sometimes they have to read
the cards. Reason is that there
are so many people who are plumb
careless about putting an address on
the cards before they are mailed.
In these cases the clerks try to
figure out who the sender is by
reading the message. Too frequent
~ they are signed with only q first
name or a nickname. Then 1t be-
comes well nigh impossible to get
In touch with the writer's.
This forgetfulness is coming in q
wave, Postmaster F. H. Lincoln re-
ports. Epidemic less" he says.
Some Of the messages are so pitiful,
too, he reports, that the. clerks are
especially anxious to have them go
thru to their destinations, but they
cannot forward them without an
address.
Sometimes, too, Mr.. Lincoln re-
ports, cards are mailed with no mes
sage whatever merely an address.
Whether this is forgetfulness or just
q code message. Of course he doesn't
pretend to know, but he figures It's
the former case.
Anyway, he urges all patrons to
be sure that there Is q message and
then be sure that it carries q legible
address.
