tion Of the District laws Mr.. Harris and Mr.

Pension Building Not Large Enough.
NO ROOM FOR THK OTHER BUREAUS OF THE INTERIOR
DEPARTNENT.


The report OF the commission that recently in
spected the Pension Building Is now before Secre-
tary Villas The object OF the commission was to
ascertain whether the bureaus OF the Interior De-
partment required by law to be removed to the
Pension Building by December next, could be ac-
commodated In that building. These bureaus are
the General Land once, the Education Bureau.
the Railroad Ofllce, and the Labor Bureau. The
commission was composed OF the heads OF the
bureaus, ana IN company with Commissioner
Black few days ago, they went over the entire
building. They found that the employees Of the
Pension Bureau numbered over 1,4O0, and that
owing to the additional pension legislation there
had not been that decrease In the numbers OF the
clerical force that was expected. 1t was found
that 1t would be impossible TO md room for
the Land once and its records In the
building, and that while some Of the other bureaus
might be transferred there, yetit claimed that
the work of the Pension ONCE would be embar-
raised by over-crowding the building. IL is not
known what action Secretary Villas viii take in
the conclusions Of this report, but II Is thought
iyhly probable that Congress Will be asked to
modify the present law SO that II Will not be
sary to remove all the bureaus named to the Pen
sion Building. All those bureaus, with the eXcep-
tOn or the General Land ONCE, now occupy rented
quarters outside OF the Interior Department Build
ing, so that their removal will AFFORD relief to
tht Patent Ofice which for years has complained
OF the lack OF room for the working force.
