ceded here today from Washington
Johnson, replying t„ an injuiry from
the Duncan Banner, secured tlie first

The treasury department. In prepnr.
ing tlie list .submitted to congress for

The Hobart project is to be sub-
mitted to the next congress. Heath

and one or two additional places being
given In th< list to be placed before

Johnson, in voicing disappointment
In the attitude of Heath and the com-
mittee. declared “tlie present adminis-
tration is lavish with the expenditure
of public moneys for buildings in
Washington and not giving Oklahoma
and the, rest of the country a square
Jeal."
The Oklahoma congressman said he
had hoped congress would appropriate
enough funds to rare for buildings in
nine of the 18 mommended Okla-
homa points but that tr.e appropria-
tion had not been .nade and that he
feared It would not be. Meanwhile,
MO 000.000 have been appropriated lor
public buildings in the city of Wash-
ington and Johnson asserted that "in
order to be able to spend all this
money powers that be nre going to
t»ar down the magnificent old j-ast
office building, one of the district's
beautiful buildings, und the splendid
-oalroad building where the farm
board holds forth.”
