ARCHIVES BUILDING DESIENBODY URGED Organization to Aid Archi- | tects Asked by Public Buildings Group. YTegislation “to set up an archives drganization at an early date to assist | the Treasury Department in designing | the most suitable bullding” to house the Government's records is recom- mended in the annual report of the Pub- lc Buildings Commission for the last chlendar year, which was before Presi- dent Hoover yesterday., following 1u| wansmittal by Senator Smoot, Republi- dan, of Utah, the commission’s chair- man The report pointed out that “ques- tions of space, preservation of records, governmental use of records, allotment, sequence, physical properties of the air, selection, destruction of useless papers, administraticn, public reading rooms, arrangement of stacks, concentration of consular, embassy and home documents, gx‘raucn and general working processes the building are commanding con- slderable attention at the present time.” " Citing the importapce of this prob- Jem, the report asserted: “The housing of important and less fmportant public documents has in- creasingly become a problem of con- cern and debate. It appears that the people, until recently, have been little disposed to give this problem the con- sideration due such an important phase of our national existence. Even in the States, public records of incalculable worth have boen allowed to remain in county repositories illy ventilated. damp | and subject to the hazards of fire. | Accidental conflagrations in the tempo- Tary annex to the White House and | in* the attic of the Capitol have re- cently given conclusive proof that the fire danger is real and not always pre- ventable, and have strengthened this commission’s repeated recommendations that the Government records should be lodged where they can be protected and where this danger will be & minimum. “As a result of overloaded s space in the National Capital, inflam- mable buildings sheltering documents, atmospheric conditions destroying rec- ords and inconveniences experienced by historians and Government research agencies, due to lack of centralization and systematic cataloguing of rec- cords, the Public Bulldings Commis- slon has taken occasion to designate an archives building as the third proj- ect in the triangle development of the public-buildings program. An appro- iation of $8.750,000 has been made Congress, and preliminary plans and studies have already been ordered. Squares bounded by Pennsylvania ave- nue, B street and Ninth and Tenth gtreets have been selected as the site, glthough title to all of the land is not yet vested in the Government.” .
