Crowded Condition OF the Treasury
Building.

MEASURES OF RELIEF RECOMMENDED BY THE COM
MITTEE ON RE-APPORTIoNMENT.
The committee appointed to re-apportiOn space
IN the Treasury department for the purpose OF
anording relief from the present crowded condition
or some OF the bureaus, after recommending a
number OF transfers to afford temporary relief
the principal being the transfer OF the solicitor
and register to smaller rooms, as heretofore
mentioned in The STAR, call attention in
particular to the poor ventilation and crowded
condition OF the old part OF the building. The
rooms are badly ventilated and unfit for Office use
but the crowded condition OF other portions OF the
building renders reler from these conditions at
The present time impossible without the removal
OF one or more offices from the building, which
cannot be done without the consent of Congress.
The committee suggest, therefore, that the matter
be brought to the attention OF Congress with a
view OF securing authority to hire suitable accom-
modatiOns In buildings ad1acentt to the Treasury
building for one or more bureaus. In this connec-
ton IT. is also suggested that the lire-savinp
service, the light house board, and the mint
bureaus, all or either OF them, might be thus &C
commodated with decided increase of facilities for
proper and rapti dispatch OF the public business
Another method or relief, and OF economy as we'll
which cannot be realized Immediately, but should
not be lost sight Of is the reconstruction OF this
portion OF the building, making rooms to har-
mon1ze In dimensions. light, and ventilation With
the rooms In the other corresponding parts OF the
building
