COMMERCE STAFF SETS MOVING MARK \Practically All Personnel Now in New Building After Ten Days. After 10 days of moving, practically the entire Department of Commerce is housed in its new home, and this rapid- | ity was characterized today by Karl J. Hardy, secretary of the Public Buildings Commission, as & record. Thousands of steel cases containing | valuable patents will be moved into the | new building by Government personnel, but Mr. Hagdy expects that this tedious ! work will take two or three months. | The plan now is to move the Civil Serv- | ice Commission, located at 1724 F street, |into the Patent Office Building, Ninth and F streets. | Whether this can be done while the steel cases are being moved out is yet to be determined.
