The Supervising Architect Investigation.

The work of the Hill investigating COM
mittee has been brought to close for the
present aud the committee will make its re-
port to the secretary Of the treasury. Mr..
Murch reports himself as tired of the in
vestigation, and out of pocket about $1,000.
which sum there is no immediate prospect
of his recovering. The public are out of
pocket good deal more than Mr.. Murch
and we're tired OF the investigation even be-
fore Mr.. Murch got ready to commence it.
A Washington despatch says the work of
the super, lsiny architect of the treasury is
thrown very much behind by the recent and
tedious investigation. Mr.. Hill says he
will be able nov to give his attention to
the business of the Office. At present II
is overwhelmed with routine work. The
requirements of the Murch investiga-
ton has kept the Office force busy. Thirty
five public buildings were authorized by the
last Congress, greater number than had
ever been authorized BY any preceding one.
The plans and specifications for each of these
buildings have 10 be prepared by the super
,ising architect and then submitted TO the
secretary of the treasury for his approval.
The supervising archtec; has then to receive
bids aud let the Contracts for all the work to
be done on the buildings and to see that the
work is properly done. Ii found all right
lac must approve it after completion. All
this new business has been added to that of
uncompleted buildings authorized by preced-
ing Congresses. While the work of the Of
fce has thus been greatly increased no pro-
vision has been made for additional clerical
force. The work of the Office has hereto
fore required the continuous employment, of
a large number of clerks and draughtsmen.
This force Is found entirely inadequate to
the accumulated business. The result will
be considerable delay in getting work on the
new buildings started
