Bill to Remodel Federal Building Led by Congressman Howard
Congressman William M. Howard introduces a bill seeking fifty thousand dollars for remodeling and enlarging the federal building in this city and adding an extension. The move aims for swift passage this session as grand jury resolutions and Judge Newman support the project. The federal court rooms are too small for the growing docket and public attendance, with the court handling more business than any Northern district division outside Atlanta. Howard will push the bill and use his influence for quick passage.
