Joy, will have new post office buildings earlier than is ex- pected in most circles. Up to now, all that has been done, with reference to these pro- posed projects is covered in the disclosure that barring the unex- pected, each of the following places will get a new building at in charge of the the limit of the cost indicated: Columbia, $105,000; Elizabeth- town, $90,000; Ephrata, $90,000; Lititz, $90,000; Manheim, $100,- 000; Mount Joy, $80,000. Must Be Before 1937 In its report to Congress, the in- ter-departmental committee made the bare announcement that some- time before the close of the public building program in 1937, it in- tended to erect new buildings at the above named places, at the costs indcated. There is every probability, however, that the next Congress will be asked to authorize the construction of tl buildings ind make available funds to start the work. This is especially l‘ght of the fact that the public building officials are at present five years ahead of the program originally mapped out by Congress, and although they are prohibited from spending more than $50,000,- 000 in any one year, certain elas- in the law permit them to move ahead faster than that. All this augurs well, not only for com- pletion of ithe program in its en- tirety earlier than planned, but al- for early operations on the pro- probable in S0 (From page 4) ERECTING A FINE NEW BUILDING STERNBERGER BUILDING A \/ D.
