ARCHITECT CLARK THINKS PRUDENCE DE-
.-zl AANDS SOME REPAIRS To THE BUILDING.
A SCAR reporter to-day asked Architect Clark
of the Capitol about the statement that the gov
eminent printing office is a fire trap" He
said: prudence demands that the old portion
of the building should be made fire-proof. The
new part is all right, but the old portion of the
building cannot be pronounced safe. Now,
that portion of the building can be
made safe by taking, out the old joists
the building can be made semi-fre-proOf and
1t ought to be done. Yes, that can be done
mourning any great expense, and let me say it
ought to be done as matter of precaution."
