THE DISTRICT BUILDING. The Unsuitable Character of the Pres- ent Quarters of the District Govern- ment ding Inspector Entwisle’s Recommendations and Views. As stated in Wednesday's Stax, the District Commissioners will recommend to Congress that a suitable building be erected for the ac- commodation of the District government offi- ces Attention has been called year after year by various officials to the unsuitability of the buildings on 4% street, now rented by the Dis- trict government, Erected and occupied origi- nally as dwelling houses, there has been little change In the arrangement of the rooms. The stalrways and halls are narrow and dark. In some of the rooms gas is burned all the day in order to reinforce the feeble rays of daylight that penetrate the rooms, and consequently the air is vitiated, In this building nearly, one hundred persons are daily employed. Hun- reds of people go there datiy on public business, ‘The impression @ visitor gets in making @ tour of the building ts one of dinginessand closeness. It presents a marked contrast to the spacious, welkighted and Nell-ventilated public offices provided by the general government for the use Of ite officials, | Snore 6" a BUILDING INSPECTOR ENTWISLE’S VIEWS. Building Inspector Entwisle, in conversation with a STAR reporter as to the proper location of the proposed District bulldings, said: “I have not changed my views about that matter, and believe the place should beon Judiciary square, on the west side, between E and F streets, front ing on 5th street, or on Estreet. Here 1s room enough to expand for the next hundred or more years, ax necessity requires, and, besides, Congress gave this square to us atone time for the special purpose of erecting a city hall, which was done. The citizens of the District lost it throug the board of public works, who sold the Di trict part of the improvement to the United States for $75,000 for use as a court house, with the understanding that the pur- chase money Was to be paid when the District ernment decided upon a location for a new District bullding and obmmenced its erection, site was subsequently decided on—the ground between the Center market and Pennsylvania nd the work was commenced, as all mber. Ofcourse, the purchase money forthe old city hull was’ paid by the United | States, but the work of the new building was never proceeded with, and no one knows what- | ever became of the purchase money. Atany Tate, it never was used for the new District gov- ernment buildings.” “\V'ho would have power to give permission for the erection of a new building on Judiciary squire?” asked THE STAR reporter. “Why, Congress, of course; no one else, and I don't think. if the whole story were squarely told ina bill, there would be an objection on the part of the members.” Tow much money will it take to make a le building for Distriet purposes?” hat depends upon circumstances,” an- swered Mr. Entwisle; “but a building in keep- ing with the surroundings in that neighborhood Would noteost less than $250,000, or $500,000 would be nearer the ngures, ‘This'cit to expand; no one ean toresce wh stop, and of course the public business Increases correspondingly. ‘There should be no nizgardly this improvement. The advantage ‘pot is that It would cost nothing for the round, and where Is there within the District |Timits ‘a “more central spot than Judiciary ‘There can be no two opinions abontit.” DITION OF THE BUILDING OFFICIALLY ~_ DESCRIBED. The building inspector's annual reports have for several yeurs urged that “a better, safer and more convenient building should be speedily rovided.” In the report made by Mr. Entwisle in 1882 the condition of vices was fully de- scribed. “The Morrison buildings,” the report said, “sire used for the Commissioners’ office, engineer department, assessors and. tax collect” or's office, water register's office, auditor, prop- erty cle.k, special assessment, liquor cense, fire department and inspector of buildings ‘There are twenty-four rooms, four of which are of fire-proof construction and used for storage of records; seven of the rooms are located in the center of the building, having no light, except from the small light-wells, and are, therefore, of no use for offices, leaving but fourteen to be oceupicd. The number of persons employed in those fourteen rooms are 94; all exeept two on the first floor originally intended for stores, are of ordinary size (average 16x20 feet). | In these fourteen rooms are stored all books, maps, charts, drawings, measurements, receipts. und feaulsitions, special ahd general assens- ment books; In’ fact, nearly all the records since the board of public works was established, and must be kept there on ac- count of the vaults being crowded. This building vas originally intend for two dwellings, and is bullt’’thfoughout. of wooden stairways, Jolsts and partitions, The stairways are too narrow to let two person: pass each other conventently, Several of th more important offices are located on the third and fourth stories, and there being no elevator. they are constantly being complained of by the great numberof persons having business to transact. ‘There is ilttle or no ventilation pro- vided, and the air at times becomes so fou! that itis necessary to open the windows. The only hevting apparatus are two small-size portable furnaces in the cellar, heating only the hall and the two larger rooms on the first floor, all other rooms being heated by stoves or grates, which makes the heating expensive compared with ® «eneral heating apparatus run with one or two fires. ‘The building with its twosmall well holes, one In each section, extending trom second floor up, and of very combustibleconstruction, would, in case of fire, in an instant be enveloy in flames, and In such an event the loss to tue Dis- trict would be irreparable, and all. records being lost, would eventually lead to endless litigation.” THE NECESSITY NOW GREATER THAN EVER. In last year’s report the building inspector, referring to this subject, said: “The necessity is now still greater than when I reported in 1882, on account of the steady increase of business in every departnfentoccupying It, and the only proper accommodations that can be provided Wail be by erecting a suitable building, ample ‘and safe for the entire offices connected with the District government, and on a site which will afford room for extending, as the city and its business will from time to time require. The most central and best adapted position, in my opinion, is that portion of Judiclary square, on the west side, between E and ¥ streets. itis ‘ample in dimensions to allow the building to be extended when found necessary, and will not In the least interfere with the’ Pension office, that occupies that portion north of F street, or the court-house, which is south of E street. And as s portion of this square was originally given for acity hall, [think itbuta ore request that the portion named be given ra city building.” — Fall of a New Building.

THE ViRG Recommendations Made by Commis- sioner MeDonald—Leg! ities of the Chesapeake Oyster Fish- eries. Col. Marshal McDonald, as commissioner of fisheries of Virginia, has made a report to Gov. Cameron of the work of the state commission for the two years ending September 30th, 1885. The report says: Rigid limitation and control of the pound net fisheries is necessary in order to prevent the destruction of the shad and her- ring fisheries. The practical exelusion from our streams (by the multiplication of pound nets in the bay and the estuaries of our rivers) of species like the shad and herring, which must reach fresh waters before ‘they can re- produce their kind, must produce a rapid decline in the amount and value of these fish- erles. Artificial propagation, which has exer- ¢ised an important conservative influence over the fisheries, is adequate to contend unaided with the adverse conditions that now assuil them and threaten their very existence. The number of shad reaching fresh water grows less year by year, and the opportunity for artificial Propagation, which depends upon the catch of shad in the’ rivers, grows correspondingly less with the decrease In the river catch. It is recommended, theretore: 1. That the fetting of pound nets pike nete, wetrs, stake nets and all other fixed contrivances for the caplure of fish in our rivers be prohibited under such penalties and forfeitures as will guarantee the observance of the law. ‘That the setting of Pounds in the bay be prohibited, unless the party or parties propos- ing to operate the same shall have previously, in the manner preserived by law, obtained permit or license for the same, such permit de- seribing preciely the location of the pounds, the number of fathoms of hedging, the number Gf pots Lows or pounds to be operated and such other details as are necessary for enforcing the provisions of law, and further foreach pot, bowl ‘or pound specified in the license or permit, the licensee shail pay to the officer authorized by law to collect the same the sum of $50. ‘That the proceeds of ull fees oF taxes thus collected shall be paid into the treasury of the commenyealth, and kept and accounted for as “the fishing fund,” and applied to artitici pagation and distribution of fishes, and compensation of such “fish wardens” or other officers us may be necessary to enforce the laws lating the fisherles, The report urges the desirability of the en- actment of a law general in its application and without limitation as to time pronibiting the use of poisons or dynamite tor the capture of fish in any waters, and the use of selnes, set nets, fish dams, traps, or any other fixed con- trivance for the capture of fish in any stream above tide-water. Attention is called ulso to the advisability of modifying the law requir- ing the general erection of fishways, as itis now in @ great measure inoperative. THE CHESAPEAKE OYSTER BEDS, Of the oyster fisheries the report says: “The oyster fisheries of the Chesapeake, which are to, day an important element of wealth to the tide- water section of the state, and which afford profitable employment to so many of her peo- ple, have not one tithe of the importance or value they are destined toattain at some future day, when we have utilized to the utmost the capabilities ot production which now lie dor- mant under the surface of this magnificent inland sea ‘The natural oyster beds from which we now draw our principal market supply, and which furnish the seed for the plamting grounds, not only in the Chesapeake, but for the whole coast from New Jersey to Long Island Sound, occupy but an insignificant portion of the entire area of the bay. The area adapted to planting, is allko limited in extent, and under the present system of licenses cannot be enli any extension would involve heavy expendi- tures in the consolidation of the bottom so as to furnish a firm bed for the oysters, or in the erection of break waters to protect the planti grounds from the violence of the waves, an no one would be willing to make such outlays with the present insecurity of tenure. It is robable, however, that the whole bed of the may be converted into oyster bearing nds, as has been already done by the Forbes and others in Long Island Sound, It is certain that the extensive of salt marshes which fringe the bay can be brought into profitable luction by the tion of modifications of the French a Of oyster cultivation in “Pares” and provided that the necessary legislation be enacted to in- sure security of tenure beyond a peradventure. If all that portion of the © area which lies below the level of low waters and constitutes the sovereign domain be declared subject to entry and paten: lic lands which are above tide level, care being taken not to impair vested rights, then the Gen- eral Assemb!y will have done all that is neces- sary to inaugurate an e: n in oyster cul- ture, the extent of which can now scarcely be im- agined.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK BY THE ARCHI- ECTS. ‘Messrs.

It 1s inclosed by semi-circular walls, the windows of which have been arranged s0 as to shed a mellow light through ornamental cathe dral glass in lead sash. Wall pilasters between the windows support strong cornice with a wide frieze decorated in colors and surmounted by adeep cove from which a tent-shaped ceil- ing with projecting rafters spri This ceil- ing abuta onan Interior wall had forms a gable which affords sufficient height for giving due accentuation to the upper entrance doors lo- cated in it, while keeping within the scope of the ful renaissance forms, The rickety and damaged iron railing along the ends of tne white marble steps is being replaced by an ap- vropriately designed bronze railing. A broad Platform at the head of the stairs is floored with mosaic terrazzo, as used by the ancient Romans, the art of which has lately been revived in the prominent public buildings of the most ad- Vanced nations. Crossing the threshold of the entrance door to the huge quadrangle which shelters the model museum of the patents of the United States, we find ourselves within an entry hall ‘of 40 by 60 feet in size, and 33 feet high, which bas been in- dividualized by the imposing treatment as A MARBLE HALL, and to this Its design, material, workmanship and decoration have been subordinated. Upon high pedestals of black and antique green mar- ble rise sixteen wall-pHasters with fluted shafts in polished Sienna, bases and capitals in flat veined Italian Keene's cement scagtiola. They aresurmounted by carved consoles, ornamented iriezes, and enriched cornices of tire-proot ce- ment, which, under the exposure to fire,exceeds by fat any natural building stone. These sup- port a molded ceiling, panelled $n a variety of forms around an octazonal skylight of twenty feat in diameter, glazed with borders, sides and eenter-piece of colored cathedral and embossed plute glass. All detatis, enrichments, orna- ments and rosettes in the celiing are plastic and relieved by cureiully blended subdued tints and chaste gilding. To the east and west this hall discloses, through large open archways between the pilasiers, a View into corridors, offices and into the guli¢ries forming model-halis, Besides vligit this had receives subdued dizht ‘h grnamented windows on the north and 1 DECORATIVE WORK. ‘High wall spaces above the windows and be- low the cornices are allotted to six largest sized allegorical representations, sculptured in base nd relating to objects appropriate to the Jy, invention and {ndusiry, mining the the south side, and elec: and magnetism, water and fire, on the nurth side, In the decoration of the eastern and western side walls tour large busts are introduced of men who have weil deserved of, or occupy prominent places among the inventors of the country, to wit, Thomas Jefferson, who has been justly cuiled the father of thé American patent system; EM Whitney, the inventor of cotton-gin; Robert Fulton and Benjamin anklin.

They are plainly finished, have solid mahogany sash and doors, and wooden floors laid in concrete, Those facing tbe courtyard are now occupied by the Patent office library, and those along the F street front by examiners of the Patent office, ‘The corridors between the two rows of rooms are open to the roof and lighted all along by double skylizhts, with an intermediate ventil- ated air chamber. The floors and side walls of these corridors, up to the first gullery, are treated similar to the corresponding part of the entry hall. ‘The fluted columns along the corri- dors in front of the galleries are finished with polished Keene's cement scagliola, similar to the pilasters of the entry hall. The galleries are inclosed along the corridors and within the ‘openings into the entry hall by ornamented, lished and_ chased solid bronze railings, ‘hey lave Keene's cement floors, and have been mostiy furnished with wrougiit-iron fire and dust proof model cases of original construc- tion with the balance of an appropriation available for the purpose,and baye Leen ior some months filled with models, “Approuchied from the second galiery there is an additic fire-proof hall ot 96 by 32 feet in size, al the main portico on F street. ‘This is at present fully occupied by the records and work of the census of 1880. THE FIRE-PROOF ROOF. “The roofs of the entry hall, hall over portico, and main stairease, consist of trussed wrought iron. The roots over the model halls are sup- ported by fire-proofed sectional wrought-iron columns. All ex siruetural iron work of floors and roofs is thoroughly protected und brillged over by hollow tiles and blocks, both Of porous terra-cotta, the best non-conducting fire-proof material ai present available. The outer skylights are glazed with hammered plate gluss, and provided with a system of condense atters. The inver skylights are glazed with heavy obscured fluted glass. The main portico has received # heavily paneled east iron ceiling in keeping with the exterior architecture of tne building. The interior stairs and boxed win- dow frames are also of cast iron * * * “The whole work has been done in part under contract, the government dealing direetly with firms engaged in tne ditierent branches Of the buliding trades, or witn wholesale manutacta- rers, without the intervention of a general con- tractor, and in part by day's labor on the eight hour system. In the selection of either sysiem the exigencies of the service were solely con- suited. ‘The expenditures sum up$171,834.34. ‘ESTIMATE. “To complete the reconstruction of the build ing the east wing remains to be provided for and the expense will be the same as stated last year, $160,000. The reconstruetion in this Case, according to the plans, will produce office rooms in the 570ieet long and 22 feet wide, in convenient proximity to the offices of the Secretary of the Interior and commissioner of patents; this even without ‘the ac- commodsiions for model exhibits.” Erection ef Public Buildings.
