By the Associated Presé To felieve unemployment through | furnishing work on the public buildings authorized Congress, and appropriated for by Treasury and post office of- | ficials are bending every effort to ex- pand and speed up their program as far as possible. Plans have been laid for spending $123,000,000 in the erection of Federal buildings throughout the country during the fiscal year which began July 1. The entire program. which calls for the ex- | penditure of $700,000.000, will take sev- eral years to complete. $100,000,000 More Available. Congress already has appropriated $496,463.942 and the relief bill passed just before Congress adjourned appro- priated another $100,000,000 to be spent ’\\m‘m-\ er the Secretary of the Treasury an certify to the President the money is available to start the additional work It is not deemed likely that this work will get under way this year. The build- inngs which will be erected under this provision will be selected by the Treas- from a list already allocated by Congress, and is expected to be made in time to begin work in the next fiscal year, a year hence. The Treasury had $118.000.000 of public buildings under obligation on July 1, and during this year expects to place another $110.000.000 under con- tract. spending in the fiscal year $123.- 000.000. While Congress has made an- other $100.000.000 available when the money is on hand, the economy bill contained a provision that the limit of cost on all building projects not now under contract must be cut 10 per cent. Treasury architects expect they will be able to revise the plans of most of the buildings to come within the reduced limits. but in some cases they will have to call for supplementary bids reducing the cost of the buildings, and in others call for new bids by readvertising the projects. In all. about 220 projects will the reduction is not expected to slow down the program, hich has been pushed at a maximum | speed for the last three years. 205 Buildings Completed. The Treasury. under its building pro- started anew in 1928, had com- pleted 205 buildings by July 1 this year at a cost of $64689.919. It had 359 buildings under contract, which will cost $307.416,800, while sites purchased the District of Columbia had cost §: 23 and bids were on the market 1 the specification stage for 118 projects which will cost $53.675.023. The supervising_architect’s office of the Treasury is drawing plans for 44 projects, while private architects are | | drawing plans for 62 projects, the com- { bined cost of which will be $31.324,000. The Government owns the land for three additional projects for which the drawings have not been started. These 5 It has se- lected the sites for six projects which will cost $1,780,000. but has not yet re- ceived title to the land. Sites for four projects are awaiting selection. These will cost $1,585,000, while 15 projects are held up for amended legislation and will cost $6.700.000. There is still avail- able an additional $1,157,477 for pur- | chase of land in the District of| Columbia. Game Export Ban Extended.
