Hearings on a proposed omnibus bill providing for long-delayed public bulld- ings In Washington and throughout the nation to house federal business prob- ably will begin shortly after the holi- days with possibilities that the bill may be reported out about the middle of January by the House committee on pub- lic' buildings and grounds, it was an- nounced today by Chalrman Langley of the committee. Present prospects, Representative Langley announced, are that the bill ¢" propose a program of bulldings, ing for the expenditure of about 0,000.000, including $15,000,000 cash now on deposit in the Treasury, appro- priated in 1913, but not yet expended on account of the high cost of construction. Action by the committee, Chairman Langley indicated, would begin as a re- day from a majority of his committee in reply to his letter of Tuesday, pres- enting the public building situation as rgreatly in need of Immediate attention. A letter will be addressed by Chairman Langley, he indicated, to all members of the House, advising them of the hear- ings and that proposed projects should e submitted. Two Specinl Bufldings. Public buildings in Washington, which Chairman Langley belleves should be included in the bill, are one for the Department of Labor and an archives building for housing all gov- ernment records not current. Further than these two buildings, Chairman Langley thought, the bill would be unable to go for Washington, because of the exceedingly crowded conditions of post offices throughout the country and the pressing need for adequate Mflice buildings. utually, however, it should be m of the government, Chairman ey indicated, to house all gov- ernment activities in government- owned buildings. The $15,000,000 cash in the Treasury was appropriated in 1913, providing for 116 projects, but, ant of the rising cost of con- n incident to the war, this was not spent. These 116 projects would be the nucleus of a new bill, it was indicated, and there would also be in- cluded projects which had been in- led in two other omnibus bills ‘alled of enactment since 1913. mmittee, Chairman Langley d a great volume of material concerning the public building situa- tion already in hand, and, therefore, he thought the hearings would be brief. Prospective New Quarters. Departments of the government in Washington which are in pressing need of their own quarters, and which might be next in line for a home of their own, after the Depart- ment of Labor and archives, Chalr- nan Langley indicated, were the in- revenue bureau and the De- {partment of Justice. In fact, the public bulldings com- mission, ' of which Representative ly ‘considering moving the De- artment of Justice from. its present ocation in a rented bulilding to one of the temporary buildings in the icinity of 20th ‘street and Virginia avenue. This Is considered more necessary, it was said, on account of the fact that the rental for the De- partment of Justice building was re- cently multiplied by four by fits owners. The government’s huge rental bill, at one ti was about a mlllion dollars a vear, but owing to efforts of the public’ buildings commission ind some little buildings this has been reduced, Representative Lang- ley said, to about three-quarters of & million dollars at the present time. Mr. Langley today called on Presi- dent Harding, it was understood, in the interest of a Kentucky judgeship now vacant, and discussed the public buildings situation upon leaving the White House. | i | POSTHUMOUSLY HONORED D.

People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets. The pleas- ant, sugar-coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them.
