"Authorizations" Made, Hut Funds Must Come Later. Washington, September, 8.?About the most unpopular government offi cial around Washington now is J. Knox Taylor, supervising archetect of treasury. Not that Mr. Taylor is not Binlllng, courteous and most oblig ing to all persons on all occasions and under all circumstances, for be is. Hut unfortunately the predicament that is bringing coals of fire on bis official bead was not bis work, bill that of the members of Congress in the last session. To make a long story short, on June IS last. Chairman Bartholdt, of the House committee oh buildings and mounds, reported the public building hill to the House for adoption. This hill carried authorization for appro priations aggregating $19,288,550, with more than $3,00,00 addition for con tinuing contracts, h provided not on ly for the purchase of sites outright and for the enlargement of new build* lugs, but for the construction also of new ones from the ground up. When the bill passed and President Taft placed his signature to the measure, thereby giving it life, it was heralded all over the country, both by press dis patches and by special correspondents from Washington that the great public building had passed and received the president's endorsinent; that Imme diately every part of the country would be Hooded with government money and feel the effects of I'ncle Sam's liber ality. Congressmen and senators 1.ousted the gooil news and did not fail to pass the word along bow they had helped the measure when it was in extremis and bow. had they not been present in just the nick of time, the winde thing would have none to smash. Then everything went well until the postmaster at Charlotte thought be would like to see some of the aforesaid government money. He m>t in touch with the officials and they passi'd him along to Supervising Ar chitect Taylor. It was up to Mr. Tay lor to say that there was a congres sional joker in this bill. That though there had been an "authorization" for the construction Of many federal build in::-; (here was no appropriation, hence no money. There Mr. Taylor left the matter. Correspondents here who have In vestigated the situation have discover ed that there is no money on hand for there projects. Funds will be voted during the coming session of congress for these ? authorizations" ami the dilemma will be met when the sundry bill is reached. The projects are sali-. The money will be appropriated, but it is a peculiarity of the law that though "authorizations" are had there is no real cash. The same situation applies to the entile country. I'. II.
