Through Station WMAL. ‘Mr. Heath, speaking over ihe coun- try-wide hook-up of the National Radio Forum, arranged by The Evening Star| and sponsored by the Columbia Broad- casting System, emphasized the impor- | tance of furnishing homes for the Gov- ernment here at its headquarters. He ted a glowing word picture of the ture of the new Washington and de- scribed the local building program as “magnificent.” Measure Will Speed Up Work. The Keyes-Elliott bill, which already passed the House and is on the calendar in the-Senate, “will allow a speeding up of the work all along the line,” declared Mr. Heath. and it is hoped that a few years will find gov- ernmental activities in dignified and ef- fective structures both in Washington, where all activities center, and in the eauntry at large, where facilities are so badly needed.” The pending bill would increase the amount already authorized for Federal buflding here and throughout the Nation from $338,000.000 to $568,000,000, the speaker explained, with the division of this total being '$190,000,000 for the Dis- trict of Columbia and $378,000,000 for sands of bills introduced. Nation-wide Survey Made. “This difficulty was not solved until 1926, when Congress authorized the Secretary of the Treasury and the Post- | master General to conduct a nation- | Wide survey to determine what projects | should be undertaken. “Congress has shown a most con- structive spirit in dealing with our | building needs, and although it is im- possible to name all those -who have | aided in the progrém. such men as Senators Smoot and Keyes and Repre- sentative Elliott have given ungrudg- ingly of their time snd em&d ¥ “The total amount requi meet 1 5 ; ascertain the bearing capacity of the |performed only by two engineers simul i e O LY. | e | Paneously, one for construction and on A o T - | for mechanical equipment.

Should the pending Keyes-Elliott bill become a law, the period of the program will be extended only one year, inasmuch as the legislation increases the annual ex- penditure from $35,000,000 to $50,000, 000. Of the $50,000,01 15,000,000 be expended in the District of Columbia and $35,000,000 in the country at large. “The survey covered nearly 2,000 or over, and necessarily consumed con- siderable time and effort. After ob- taining the required data, the va.ious places were evaluate. on such elements as population, postal receipts, conges- tion in present quarters and simflar items, resulting in a list, arranged in preferential order, for each State, from which selection was made for a certain number of projects for definite authori- zation and appropriation. This duty devolved , upon an inter-departmental personal conferences. It is not unusual to prepare three and four sets of sketch | plans, and in one case it was necéssary | to prepare eight such sets of a many- | storied building before all the occupants expressed themselves as satisfied. Architects Kept Busy. “All this is preliminary to the taking | up of the working drawings. which are | the instruments on which the contract | for construction is based. The develop-‘ ment of the working drawings for a building of a large size, say, costing| $5,000,000, consumes the time of 25| architects, engineers and draftsmen for from six to eight months, and in many cases more than 100 individual draw- ings are required, comprising architec- | tural, structural and mechanical engi-| neering layout. As all these must be in conformity, the close co-operation of several divisions is involved. “The architectural drawings, of course, are started first, and when these are about 40 per cent completed the structural engineers obtain prints, make | the necessary computations for loads for | weeks, depending upon the size of the building. Usually there is keen compe- tion, with from 15 to 25 bids, and in case the lowest bid is submitted by a responsible contractor the award is in- variably made to that contractor. | “From this description it will be seen | that a large amount of preliminary work is required before a building can be commenced, and even after the con- struction is started the work of the architect and, the engineer does not cease. Full size drawings have to be prepared, shop drawings checked and samples of a great number of materials passed upon. Engineer Is Detailed. “During the erection a construction engineer is detailed to supervise the work of the structure, and in buildings of magnitude, such. for instance, as the buildings now being erected in Wash. ington, the construction engineer has several assistants.” The building for the Department of Commerce is the largest governmental building now under con- struction, being more than 1,000 feet in length and 350 feet in depth, involving | of the country. | “The development of the so-called| “Triangle’ in Washington includes 12| buildings, ranging in price from $3,500, | 000 to $17,000.000. “The Secretary of the Treasury is| charged with the responsibility of the| construction, and has to ald him the services of a special board of architec-| tural consultants, comprising in its| membership some of the most eminent American architects. “The extended program includes a number of important bufldings in other | portions of the city, among them new buildings for the War and Navy depart- ments, involving an expenditure of ap- roximately $26,000,000, and t:is will len permit the removal of the present temporary buildings from The Mall. g “In addition to the construction work | under the direction of the Secretary of | the Treasury, there are other building| projects contemplated or in course of construction in the District of Columbia, including & new building for the Su-| preme Court, the Arlington Memorial | Bridee, office buildings and additions| The Dodge Hotel (Formerly Grace Dodge Hotel) Washington’s Birthday Dinner Hors_d'Oeuvres.
