Washington Post Office Building Plan Faces Budget Debate
Postmaster Grandfield and Assistant Secretary Hilles urge a 500000 to 1000000 dollar post office for Washington. Committee members favor a new building with separate federal offices and expedited mail service, while opposing large overspending beyond about 1000000. Plans by Burnham and Co. would yield an elaborate structure near Lincon Station with potential savings via integrated facilities.

Railroad men protest Townsend rail stock provision at hearing
Representatives of rail and water carrier interests voiced strong objections during a House interstate and foreign commerce committee hearing yesterday. They argued the Townsend administration rail bill would block new lines by forcing stock to sell far below par and hinder development in undeveloped regions. Barrett of the Philipsburgh and Susquehanna Railroad warned the measure could stall projects, while Frank Masten of the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company and Edwin Hutt of the American Steamship Association joined in opposing the stock sale restriction. Olcott of the Hudson River Day Line also criticized the water carrier provisions.
