The former Federal Trade Commission Building was de- | stroyed by fire last Fall. Another complication in the program, Col. Grant said, is construction of the proposed central heating plant, which | would provide for the buildings sur- rounding Ninetecnth street and Con- | stitution avenue. Under the present program, the old central heating plant would be torn down to make way for the new office building, 1t is doubtful now if' the new central heating plant could be erected in time for commissioning at the beginning cf the Winter, inasmuch as Col.
