Representative Owen Scott of Illinois
has introduced a resolution calling upon
the Secretary of the Treasury for infor
mation regarding the progress of the
pubiio bnildings in vanous parts of the
country, for which appropriations were
made in 1890. Upon investigation and
inquiry of the Supervising Architect of
tne .treasury Mr. Bcott finds tbat ot sev
enty-five buildings, improvements and
extensions, for which appropriations
were made in 1890, contracts for the
erection of fifteen were let, and for
ten others nartial contracts oulv were
let, un ntty others nothing was done.
Mr. Scott insists tbat contracts for pub

that it has been the oolicv of the admin
istration to avoid every step that would
require casn irom tne government.

an opinion by Commissioner McDill

the Minneapolis Chamber of . Com

to Minneapolis and on flour from Min
neapolis to Duluth and other Lake Su

on wheat from points in North Dakota

compared with the charges over consid
erably greater distances from the same
points to Duluth and adjacent Lake Su
perior porta, subject the Minneapolis
millers to nndne and unreasonable prej

area, but they will not be able to change
his plans. Machinery hall, at first con
sidered big enough to accommodate all
worthy exhibitors, has been fnnnd tn
furnish little more than half the apace
the machine builders wanted. That is
why Chief Robinson was compelled to
decline so many reaneata for anam. Aa
originally designed, the hall was 842x494
jeer, it was soon found that a larger
building would be needed, and an anna-a-
651 feet long was added, making the total
length of the ball 1,892 feet and its
width 494 feet This was considered big
enough for all demands that would be
made for showroom ; but as the appli
cations came in Chief Robinson learned
that another extension would be needed,
jo a machine shop 1,103 feet long and 86
feet wide was added. Even with these
additions the space afforded is but half
enongh to meet tha demands.
