The same hurricane that washed away Sand Key damaged the 

 observatory building at Key West so badly that it is necessary to 

 replace it. Congress has appropriated SI 5,000 for the purpose, and it 

 is expected that the buildmg will be completed by March 1, 1912. 



The following table shows where the buildings owned by the 

 Weather Bureau are located, the fiscal years in which they were 

 erected, and the cost of the buildings and grounds:
