AUTHORIZING NEW BUILDING Expends $1,500,000 visions of Contrary to Pro- the Act. Large Sum Now Necessary to Com- plete Construction. WASHINGTON, May 30.—What members of the House committee on appropriations regard as an absolute i disregard of the law authorizing the ! construction of the new building for the Department of Agriculture is re- vealed in the kearings - before that ommittee on the sundry civil app oriation bill. In 1903 Congress propriated $1,500,000 for this build- ing. It was the general understand- ing that this appropriation for | ap-. | was jthe erection of a complete building | for the accommodation of the entire | department.. It was with some aston- ishment that the members learned last week that “somebody” has or- dered the construction of two wings of what may be some day a completed building. and that the two wings have practically exhausted the million and a half doliar appropriated for a complete structure. The wings, when completed, will, according to the testimony given be- fore the committee, be inadequate to house the department force, and.Con- gress wil be called upon to_ appropri- ate a couple of millions to fill the space betweeén the two wings. \ Considerable irritation was devel- oped during the hearirgs before the appropriations committee, and Secre- tary Wilson, Dr. Galloway and. officials of the Agricultural Department were questioned concerning what is said to have been a direct violation of the law. » MORE MILLIONS NEEDED. | When F. S. Gardner, mechanical engineer of the Department of Agri- culture, testified before the appropria- tions committee, he was asked if he knew the limit of cost of the entire building, and replied that he did— that it was $1,500,000. Gardner, continuing, said, in reply to further questions by Tawney, that the central administration. building was not included in the limit of cost; that it was not even contemplated as vet, and that it would have to be ap- propriated for some future time. In reply to a question from the chairman as to why the department did not construct the building within | the limit of cost fixed by Congress and in a manner that would accommaodate the department .with all of its vari- as prescribed by 1‘un<‘ Gardner answered that “they constructed within the limit of cost | exactly what they needed for their | present work, and when their future work comes up they will have to put | up other buildings. | It developed further from Gardner's testimony that the administrative work of the department would con- tinye to be carried on in the present building, although Congress provided that it should be torn down. Further | than that, Gardner said that the two wings in question’ were being con- | structed “for laboratory purposes.” WILSON IS RESPONSIBLE. “Do. you know,” asked Tawney, | “who is responsible for the plans for the building having b authorized, accepted and approved “The Secretary of Agriculture,” re- | plied Gardner. Gardner then testified that $37 worth of useless work had been in order that the site for the building | might be moved forty feet. i “On whose recommendation was | the change made?” asked Tawney. | “There was a meeting at the White | House, and it was decided by the Sec- retary and the President that the building should be moved—and also a representative of the Park Commis- sion,” replied Gardner. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was questioned at some length before the committee and made a long pre- pared statement in defense of = the present construction. “How can you justify your posi- tion?” asked Chairman Tawney. ‘“When you made your plan, if you| became satisfied that $1,500,000 was not enough, I should have thought you would inform Congress before go- | ing on with the plan you had.” “You have a wrong idea in your| mind there,” replied Wilson. “We | made a plan to exhaust $1,500,000. We built in such a way that Congress | might add to it, and we made no plans | but for our buildings.” | Galloway and Wilson, contradicting | the testimony of Gardner, who had | preceded .them, insisted that ' the| wings would accommodate the ad- | ministrative force, but both admitted | that they did not contemplate tearing | down ~the present admmistrauve| building, as directed by Congress.
