Delay in Steubenville federal building plans per Treasury letter
Treasury officials report the Steubenville federal building plans were laid aside in 1913 at the request of W B Francis pending the establishment of a Federal Court there. The delay stems from legislative action needed to authorize courts and funding, with local Chamber of Commerce pressing Congress and urging cooperation from Hollingsworth and Pomerene.
