Saperintendent of Construction Murdock of the Omaba federal bullding has written 1o the supervising architect at Washington for permission to re s work on the annex of that building pending a settlement of the negotlations now in progress between that office and Senator Millard regarding the change in the plans which the senator sug gested some time ago. At the present time A few men are employed In stralghtening up work which was begun some time ago, but the superintendent fs of the opinion that a full force ca worked upon the north and south be done, on work which must wings the completion of which will not interfore with the construction of the west ern corridor upon any plan which may be adopted There is real trouble in the matte construction of the western corridor upon the plan approved by Senator Millard, and for some time the supervising architect at Washington has been of the opinfon that the vlam could not be carried out on account of lack of funds. The senator. faking the report of the department as to the amount of money expended on the bullding, found that there would remain, upon the comple- tion of the work as outlined by the depart ment, about $135,000, and the contractor stated that this amount would he sufficient to erect the western corridor according to the plans of the senator. When the bid of the contractor was submitted it was found that in place of there being $125,000 avails able thero was approximately $55,000 which conld be used for that purpose. This state- ment came a8 a surpriso to the senator, and be immediately asked for a report from the supervising architect as to the expenditure of the appropriation for the Omaha build- ing. This report came to him some time ago, but it was far from satistactory. The senator will not make public the contents ot the letter embodying the report, but says that when he reaches Washington he will have personal conference with the supervising architect, and intimates that something will drop in oficial circles unless the re- port of the expenditure of the funds appro- of the priated for the Omaha building s ex- plained to his satisfaction Approprintion Diverted. Porsons connected with the department offer an explanation of the discrepancy be- tween the amount apparently on hand in the fund after the amount expended on the building has been accounted for and the amount actually on hand at this time. This explanation Is as follows: (Congress an- nually appropriates for the maintenance of the supervising architect's office a sum ap- proximating $230,000 and provides that this money shall be taken from (be money ap- propriated for public buildings in the United States. Under this provision of the law the supervising architect takes from each appropriation for a public building a certain amount, which in time past has averaged 10 per cent of the appropriation, for the expenses of his office. in the office of the supervising architect the account of the Omana public bullding has been kept open sluce the first appropriation was made in 1890 and annually a certain amount of the fund on hand has been transferred to the account of the office. The total appro- priation for the Omaha building has been $1,800,000, and upon the basls of 10 per cent the amount contributed to the maintenance of the office since 1890 has been $180,000, but it is possible, in the opinion of those who understand the operation of the office, that the sum has exceeded that amount some- what, as strong appropriations are often drawn up In excess of 10 per cent when the occasion dsmands such a course What Fund is luvolved. There ¢ also a question between ‘he supervising architect and the senator as to the fund from which certain improvements nd repairs upen the building should be pald and this means a difference of nearly of $10,000 in the prescnt the condition thne the government ting the boilers and placing a smoke con sumer in the boiler room of the buflding The supervising architect insists that this change, as well as certain others, such as the remodeling of the stamp department, be paid eut of the building fund, while the senator insists that this expense should be pald out of the fund annually proprinted by congress for the repair and preservation of public buildings “Yon see’ said the person who made the above explanation, “that the mainten- the fund. 1s res At ance of the supervising architect's office is | an expensive affair. There are about sev- enty technical employes of the office and nearly 200 clerks. These clerks and some of the techuical employes would not be re- quired in a private institution doing the work of this office, but here it is different. Congressmeu, senators and others are con- tinually applying to the office for informa- tion as to buildings; congress when it is in | gesslon always wants many reports, so the men in the office are kept busy. As the only way of paying this force is by takng a part of the funds appropriated for gov ernment buildings, and as much of the work done has no reference to the | buildings in course of erection, it is readily seen that in no case can the full amount of money appropriated be expended upon the bullding for which It is set aside.” Senator Millard refused to talk upon the matter, saying I have nothing to say in regard to the maiter at this time, There is no change and probably will not be I will have a personal interview with the architect when I visit Washington and will then get from him an explamation of the condition of the fund set aside for the Omaha building which will be satistactory to me or 1 will know the reason why.

Sales -John § t to Collect tra Stock on Surp While the American Sugar Refining com- pany is attempting to squeeze the life and independence out of the beet sugar Indus- tries of Nebraska and the west, it has a | fge on its own flank. The city of Omaha | intends to profit by the fight by securing | some $3,000 1n legitimate taxes on the vast | quantities of sugar which the trust has now | in transit to Omaha or which is already | here. | Since the { i | \ | \ to sugar war first broke cut the tax commissioner's department of the city has known that this extra sugar istent here in large quantities, but for days ana days it was kept o carefully secreted that the most rigid and thorough still hunt |on the part of the city was ex- terret out its hiding places Finally, however, notice was served the trust, through its agents here, to sub« mit an assessment on all sugar in transit | here or already here that was not already taxed. Compliance with the request has not yet occurred, but the city's tax sleuths are working on the matter and expect to bring it to a head auy day. To just what extent the balance in the city treasury will be increased by this means cannot be learned now. as it is im- | possible to ascertain how much sugar is in- | cluded in the consignments and how much of this the city has found or will discover. Every man in the tax department, from Tax Commissioner Fleming down, iy absolutely mum on the subject, insisting that not a word will be divulged yet. Mr. Fleming admits that they are working on the matter Railroad men are the only sources of in- formation as to the quantity of sugar liable to this tax and at the different headquarters they are as professedly ignorant as any out- sider on this question A representative of one of the fast freight lines, however, said that there were now in Council Bluffs and other points in Towa within 100 miles of Omaha fully 200 cars of cane sugar bound for this city. It thesg figures are not exaggerated there are 6,000,000 pounds of sugar now headed this way, elther in movement or being held sta tionary at some nearby point, This Is 3,000 tons of sugar, and the tax is about §1 a ton The law permits the city to levy not only on the sugar in Omaba, but all in transit for this obfective point, s0 all this sugar is regularly subject to this tax. Each ton being worth $80 and 40 per cent of this be- ing $32, application of the regular scale in use here brings the tax up to about §1 a ton. Whether there are 3,000 tons or only 500 the city tax men do not intend to have Omaha deprived of its legitimate due This sugar is what the trust is sending out here and keeping on hand for sale in Nebraska alone at 4 cents a pound. The quantity released to jobbers each day, how- ever, {s greatly restricted, orders never be- ing filled for more than a quarter part of their real demand. After securing all the cheap sugar they can possibly get hold of the jobbers are compelled to complete their stock with the regular beet sugar product from the state at the same old price—5.08 cents a pound—in order to satisfy their \rade Astounding Discovery.
