The resolution Of the Senate relative - the
suspension of work on the public buildings has
been considered BY the Co0nittse sa Public
Buildings.and Grounds, md O yesterday they
made report on the advisabaiity Of passing tine
resolution. They advocate Q continuance Of work,
particularly on the structures in this city. In
relation to the necessity for the increase OF faci
ties for the various ofhces in Washington no"
cramped for room they report a. follows:
aProbably few IL any original appropriation
will this year be made for any public ouiiosnes y
any Of the States; but the rapid growth Oh INC
country constantly increases the demanes oPon
the Treasury for new or larger oonaines W.
cially ct the seat Of Government. Ins .euis,e
70 the members of both Houses OF Congtsss WINCH
has recently occurred and the mcfess,u .e" ~
ofthe committees in the House, Is well - IN tne
Senate creates . necessity for larger number Of
oomm rooms; and It is obvious that the CsuEt
of Claims now occupying space IN the Capitol
greatly needed, must be provided for elsewhere.
The city hall now belongs wholly TO the United
states, the half owned BY the city Of Washinston
having been bought and paid for In Conformity
70 the act Of the last session Of Congress. This
building, standing upon Judiciary square. can
easily be made to accommodate the Court Of
Claims, and also BY an extension Of the north
side to line parallel to E street, which can be
done at . very moderate cost, can be made Of am
DIE dimensions to accommodate the Pension bu-
reau, now crowded out Of the Interior Depart
Rent" -.-. ..-.-.-7
The Improvement OF the grounds surrounding
Ahe Capitol ID also recommended. the report max
ing the following suggestions: The wisdom OF
the extension of the Capitol grounds, always an
deubted, was made even more oonspicuously
manifest upon the removal Of the buildings nom
the squares recently purchased. The structure Is
90 imposing in its dimensions that 1t requires
site Of proportiouately grand extent But these
grounds have been SO much neglected that It Is
almost . matter Of national reproach that their
pnsiRhly snd untidy condition should be 50 long
patiently tolerated by Congress. The best land
scape artists of the country should be summoned
70 our aid" COMMUNICATIONS .r---- -...
