It also states (p. 3) : It should be noted that the growth of the Postal and other services Is so rapid that additional needs will develop during the period of the present building program to an extent which will greatly enlarge the figures presented In this report. The Postal Service doubles In about 10 years. and it Is therefore obvious that with the present limitation of expenditures provided in the act there would be no possibility of the building program catching up with the publicbuilding requirements of the country. A summary of the things covered by this report (p. 3) discloses that notwithstanding the law only authorizes the expenditure of $115.000.000 for the country at large. estimates of build. ings have been made totaling an expenditure of $199.128.000. -as follows: One hundred and seventynine cities that now have Federal buildings are to receive $167.850.500. 58 cities estimated fox new buildingsmost of which are required by section 3 in ths act of May 25. 1926. providing for two buildings for each State$8.477.500. marine hospitals and quarantine stations. $12. 000.000. immigration stations. $1.100.000. and other bullding. under the Treasury Department where no postal facilities ar( furnished. $9.700.000. making the total of $199.128.000 foi which definite estimates have been made under the law thai authorized an expenditure of only $115.000.000. It is readily seen that the estimates submitted exceed bI $84.128.000 the amount authorized to be expended. The report referred toDocument 651in the third divisior states that there are 799 cities where the postal receipts rangi from $20.000 per annum to more than $900.000 per annun "where no public buildings have ever been erected." and whicl cities are not estimated for in the proposed expenditures o: $199.128.000. nor is it contemplated that they are to be consid ered in the sevenyear building program being advocated b. the administration.
