/ 1 t T7TE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FIB fium Howard Succeeds in Incorporat ing Them in General Deficiency Bill—$41,250 Available. By HUGH MILLER. WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.—A second attempt by Representative Howard, of Atlanta, to have included in the general deficiency <blll an item of $22,- 500 to be Immediately available for completing the Atlanta postoffice was successful. The item was incorpo rated in the bill by an overwhelming vote. With $18,750 left over of the amount originally appropriated, this makes a total of $41,250 that will be available for the work as soon as the bill final ly is passed. In referring to Atlanta, Mr. Howard spoke of the city as "the second largest in the United States outside of New York and Chicago, and the most prosperous city in ho world, without exception." ‘‘The congestion in that office is a disgrace to the United States," he added. "If you don’t make immedi ately available the sum of $22,500, you will compel the Federal officials in Atlanta to go outside and rent addi tional room. It’s a plain business proposition." Chairman Fitzgerald, of the Ap propriations Committee, objected. "If the Supervising Architect gets the money, he won’t use it," said Mr. Fitzgerald, "because he has said that if Congress does not give him $180,- 000 to increase his force, he can not undertake to do the work." "I can promise the work will be done if the money is made available," said Mr. Howard. “I’ll guarantee it will be done. I’ll spend two-thirds of my time in the Supervising Archi tect’s office until it is done.” Minority Leader Mann, of Illinois, came to Mr. Howard’s support and the amendment was adopted.
