Senator Smoot of U hairman of Yhe Public Buildings ssion, who has given much study to the needs of the various departments for office space in Washington, and Senator Bruce are, it is said, likely to come ome agreement regarding the dment that will be satisfactory sth Maryland Senator has taken L broad view of the matter in his proposal for the future development of Government building in thg Na- ional Capital. He believes strongly that there should be a return to the plan of the original des ers f the Capital Ci wernment should own all the proverty on the south side of Pennsylvanii avenue from the Capitol to the White House, and that its building should be centered in thi in the area lyin; avenue west of S Many Previous Bills.
