Public Library Completes Deal For Post Office
The Public Library completes a purchase of the old post office with $25 000 remaining to be paid in five annual installments starting September 1 1937 or one year after possession, whichever later. Initial $1 000 payment delivered to Washington authorities by Mr Patterson. Trustees say acquisition will relieve severe space and safety constraints at the current North Jefferson street building.

Works Progress Administration will use the building and the board will cooperate with WPA needs. No definite possession date set. Treasury Department favors friendly cooperation for future WPA headquarters.

State relief funds debated as two caucuses convene
The Harmony committee members pressed for more state relief funds in two caucuses yesterday. Both houses moved to brief calendars ahead of a federal hearing on whether the senate investigation into alleged political activity in the WPA will continue. Short sessions were planned so members could attend the hearing. Social security measures remained prominent as calendars resumed. The Harris county participation bill passed the senate and was concurred in by the house, while the Free Old Age Assistance bill cleared first reading. Senate amendments to Brancato Mothers Assistance faced house resistance and a conference likely. Amendments would raise county trustees from seven to nine and add three appointed by county commissioners. Rep. Anna Brancato and Sen. Edward Thompson led strong opposition, warning against politicizing boards. Gov Earle signed a $700,000 appropriation to pump flooded slate quarries and coal mines as security legislation remained unsettled.
