Plans for Those at Rockville and Mid- dletown to Be Started Before Mysti (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, March 26.—It is learned at the office of the supervising archi- tect that the work of that office is more than two years behind, and with- out the office force is increased the office will not be able to take up the work of drawing plans for the public Luildings authorized in the bill just passed for upwards of two years. The buildings authorized in piaces where the sites had already been ac- quired by the government would be the first taken up. This means that the buildings at Seymour, Naugatuck, Rockville, Greenwich and Middletown will be taken up before those author- ized at Mystic and Branford. The sundry civil appropriation bil'. which was vetoed by President Taft in the last hour of his administration, carried appropriations for the comple- tion of the work on the buildings nt Ansonia, Putnam and New Haven, and unless the bill is passed by the extr» session work on these buildings will stop on June 30. as the appropriation will be exhausted on that date. There is no doubt in the minds of anyone that the bill will be reintro duced and passed. The clause to whic President Taft objected may be omit- ted from the new bill. This was a clause exempting labor unions angd farmers’ associations from the opera- tion -of the anti-trust laws. Presi- dent Taft styled that as “class legis- lation of the most vicious sort.” at Bristol, Conn., where a new federai LOBBY CHANGE AT WAUREGAN HOUSE Good Progress Being Made on Ground Floor Alterations— | General Repairs to Be Made at the | Goors W rove re 1 irch Other Work by Contractors About the City. ik the new changes and im- | but a single cement step to the en- | ments in lobby of the Wau- | trance and the door is set back from hc is nearing sompletion, and | the street about six feet, making show ! er nth should see it finished. | windows of about that width.
