BUILDING TRANSFER SOONTO BE ENDED ‘Shifting of Three_Federal Of- fices Well Under Way. Some Now Ready. Moving activities in. three Govern- ment departments have -now pro- gressed to the point where the end of | the huge task is in sight. Even though the Pension Bureau has not vet beem moved from its building at Fifth and G_streets to the Interior Building at Eighteenth and F streets, this move will begin within a few days. The Bureau of Mines already has ‘been moved from the Interior Bulld ing to the Winder Building om Seven- {* teenth street, and certain sections of the general accounting office have been transferred from the building on. New York avenue between Seven- teenth and Eighteenth streets to the upper floors of the Pension Buildiag. The accounting office shift, involving upward of 1,500 empioyes, Is the big- gest part of the triple move and will take several weeks more before com- pletion, When the three bureaus have all been moved, approximately 100,000 square feet of floor space will have! been saved the Government and re- leased for other uses, according to es- timates by Secretary of the Interior Work. In thé meantime, the usually immaculate hadis of the Interior Build- ing are piled with office furniture awaiting transfer, and offices of the Pension Bureau and the ‘accounting office are waiting the word for move- ment of their equipment to their new homes. The triple move will not affect the Government building program planned for the Mall, inasmuch as the new Commerce Department Building, to front on B street between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, is the only struc- ture which will later house a bireau which has been moved or will he moved in the present transfer. The Mines Bureau administrative offices will ultimately be housed in the new Commerce Building, while much of the technical investigation work has al- ready been transferred to the Bureau of Standards, which has, its own plant on Connecticut avenue.
