Commissioner of Accounts Wall- tein has been instructed by Mayor _# Mitchel to ascertain just how much Space is being wasted in the Muni- cipal Bullding, It has been repeated- ly shown by The Evening World that if the various city departments were Properly reapportioned, many thou- sand square feet would be saved and the city spared the necessity of pay- ing large sums for office rental in Private bulldings, Commissioner Wallstetn'’s investt- gators already have learned that when the Municipal Building was erected at a cost of over $13,000,000 it was expected that practically all the city departments with the excep- tion of the Health, Police and Schoo! Departments would find ample quar- ters there. When the bullding was opened, however, city departments had little trouble in getting much More room than they had been al-| lowed before. The result was that) all original calculations as to the amount of space each department! was to occupy were rendered useles: What is regarded as one of the most | Glaring Instances of wasted space ds the allotment of 7,853 square feet for & proposed women's lunch room. The original plan contemplated beautifully fitted out dining rooms and retiring rooms and al! appointments one might expect to find in a women's club.

He had been in the four corners of the Globe and had seen the six months’ Sun in the Far North and the | Southern Cross below the Equator. He came through the war zone unscathed. — He left America 20 years ago and had not seen it since. He returned to this great, peaceful country the other day, homeward | bound to his mother, whom he had not seen for 25 years. We met him at the sign of the Per- sonal Shopping Service, and one of our young ladies escorted him around the store. He said he had heard of Meays frequently on his travels, and made up his mind that if Providence was kind to him and he ever returned to this country, he certainly would get outfits for his mother and himself at Dweys, He was a seafaring man and wasn't so sure of his laud legs as to feel safe navigating this great store alone.
