Pacing the Surplus in Congress and Public Buildings
In the House, a 200000 appropriation for a Coseteville public building faced opposition from a Pennsylvania member citing saloons and a gambling house in the town. The bill dropped to 125000 and passed. Debates covered pensions for Bull Run witnesses and public buildings in Grassville Indiana and Wild Cat Centre Colorado. The Senate passed a pension bill for widows of drafted men and approved 250000 for a Coon Hollow Wisconsin building, while Snakedale Illinois received 110000 for a public building. Miss Emma Cradit leaves Business College for Baldwin for the summer.
