In 1924 he again was re-elected, and his term would have expired March 3, 1931. AIDED D. €. LEGISLATION. Senator Fernald Backed Public Build- ings and Plaza Bills. The closing days Senator Fer- nald’s career in Con; s were devoted largely to the passage of two me: s of vital interest to the Dis v of Columbia—the public buildings and the act to complete the purchase of the Union Station plaza parkway. As chairman of the committee on public buildings and grounds, Senator Fernald had charge of both_these measures on the floor of the Senate, and he labored persistently to sce them_approved. Although the public buildings bill involved expenditure of $115,000,000 throughout the Nation, it also carried an authorization of $50,000,000 to re- lieve cor ion and tire hazards in Uncle Sam’s workshops in Wash- ington. Senator Fernald was especially proud of the work of hi mmittee in putting through this latest public buildings bill because it represented t departure from the old “pork bar- rel” ‘idea, by providing for a lump sum, to be alloted where the Gov- crnment’s housing needs are great- est rather than to specific cities. The only cities directly provided for in the Dbill were those in which buildings had been authorized in 1913, but not completed. It he had lived Senator Fernald would have had before him at the t session the question of whether the Government should proceed at once to take down the dormitories on Union Station Plaza to make way for the proposed parkway between the station and the Capitol. In addition to heading buildings and grounds’ Senator Fernald was ranking majo ity member of the important inter- state commerce committee. He also served on the commerce committee and the committee on pensions. Senator Fernald had for n years taken a strong interest in wa erws development and was among those who advocated an inland route from the Gulf of Mexico to Maine.
