This commfssion would censist of one member of the Senate commit- tee on public buildings and grounds, one member of the House committee on. public buildings and grounds, the controller general, the architect of the Capitol and the supervising archi- tect of the Treasury. The bill pro- poses authorization of $10,000 to be appropriated and expended for pre- liminary plans and other incidental expenses by the retary of the Treasury. This commission would re- port back to Congress, and the House committes on public buildings and grounds would then prepare legisla- tion based on the report of the com- mission, fixing a limit of cost for the new building. ; * Kk % The site proposed is the entire square just west of the Senata Office building, on Delaware avenue be- tween B and C streets. Considerable opposition to the use of this site has been encountered, because, as Elliott Woods, architect of the Capitol, ex- plains, it has always been the in- tention of iCongress to develop the plaza between the Union station and the Capitol as a park, g0 that there would be no obstruction by buildings of the sight of the Capitol when vis! tors come out of the Union station.

No suspicion and no unkind feeling are entertained by the public toward the managers.

They he/i no reason to know that there waz anything defective in their houses, and the public does not know today, and perhaps the man- agers do not know, whether the defects are serlous or whether they are de- fects that can be easily corrécted, that is, whether there are structural de- fects in the buildings or whether the trouble lies in the matter of fire pre- The order closing the theaters might have been issued and executed a few hours earlier or a few hours later, or the theater managers might have been directed to make the changes desired in the interest of public safety. They would have done these things prompt- ly and willingly. But that is water that has passed over the mill. The public thinks of the Knickerbocker tragedy, and the public and the cor- oner's jury lay blame on all persons having supervisory powers who were connected with the construction of the ilkfated building. Until its collapse no one seemed to think that the Knickerbocker was not safe. Because of this tragedy the public is suspicious of the safety of other theaters, and it demanded prompt and vigorous actios on the part of the District authorities in determining, in so far as this can be done, the question of the safety of all theater buildings.

Carl estimates that probably three- fourths of them are now stored in bulldings that are admittedly not fire- proof, and some of them are “known to be fire traps.” These flles are now kept in fifteen different buildipgs and the general accounting office is now occupying of- fices in nine buildings. The economic and efficient transaction of business calls for bringing this entire service under one roof. Mr. McCarl gave the House committee specific instances and detailed information as to how this scattering of the offices under him has caused scandalous loss of time and woefully delayed important transactions, This general auditing office is now using 300,000 square feet of floor space, has 1,404 employes and is pay- ing $42,500 a vear for rent of build- ings not owned by the government and not adapted for properly han- dling the work—in addition to being scattered ‘from one to three miles away from any member or committee of Congress who may desire to con- sult these papers. Regarding the Iosnll | 1 i of time and office waste Mr. McCarl told the House committee: together, at least two-thirds of the clerks could handle all counts. ‘There is now so much lost motion that you cannot accurately measure the loss. It is impossible to estimate the cost to the government and the citizens.” * K X X Congress recognizes the necessity of soon providing-such a building, and that it will be real economy as well as safeguarding papers that could not be replaced, and the loss of which by fire, water or other menace would lay the federal government open to very serious financial risks.
