 the supervision of Nathan Wyeth. These were made possible 

 by an appropriation of $10,000 for this purpose. He described the 

 proposed arrangement of exhibition halls, office rooms, and labora- 

 tories, and in answer to Mr. Johnson's inquu'y explained that no 

 appropriation for this construction was expected at this time, but 

 that the matter had been brought before the House committee as a 

 matter of record.
