The only change recommended in the building program for the Dis- trict of Columbia- is a reduction of $325.000 in the limit of cost for the Liberty Loan Building and $250,000 in the amount of the appropriation for that project, which leaves the limit of cost for this building at $375.000 and_the recommended appropriation of $£250,000. The estimate as sub- mitted contemplated two additional stories on the bullding, enlargement of all windows, and facing the entire building with stone. The amount in- cluded in the bill eliminates the facing of the structure with stone, but pro- vides for the two additional stories as requested. In the opinion of the com- mittee no additional strength would be provided by facing the building with stone, and fhe expenditure of the additiong] $325,000 to heighten the appearance of the bullding was not nstified. _In the’case of the purchase of the Kconomics Building for the Depart- ment of Agriculture, the estimate of4 .000 is included as recommended, with a proviso that no greater amount should be expended for the purchase of such building than a sum which in gment of the Secretary of the would procure an’ equally intageous site and the erection of a duplicate of the building.
