RCHITECT FRERET's REPORT.
Why Outsiders Were Employed-Skiled
Architects Wanted.

The supervising architect of the Treasury
has Just completed report of the operations of
ms ONCE for the calendar year 1885, He says
that Whatever views may be entertained In re-
gard to the wisdom Of including the great body
OF the force In the supervising architects ONCE
within the civil-service rules aud regulations,
it Is apparent to him that small corps of
skilled architects, whose services are required
for the efficient administration of the work Of
the Office, should be exempt from their opera
ton. 1T has been urged, he continues, "that q
higher architectural standard might be raised
by inviting the members Of the architectural
profession to submit designs for buildings au-
thorized by Congress and by making graduate d
awards to the best three designs received" In
his opinion there seems to be many reasons
why this plan should secure consideration, and
he, therefore, suggested that the trial be made
In the case of SEINE of the buildings now under
contemplation by Congress.
He says that in order TO expedite the work
on public buildings 1t recently became neces-
sary to enter into contract with private per-
sons for the preparation of drawings, and adds:
Congress at the last session placed upon the
books of the Treasury department appropria-
tons for the purchase of sites and the erection
Of thirty new buildings, and was confronted
with the problem as to whether, owing to the
inadequacy of the force and the failure to
secure necessary assistance through the civil
service commission, all work should be de-
ferred. and so miss the possibility of beginning
active building operations in the coming spring,
or whether proposals should not be invited
from private parties for the preparation of the
sketch plans for working drawings. 1t was
decided to procure the performance By contract
OF such necessary work as could not be done
by the present Office force, such contracts to be
made with competent architects in the city of
Washington, and to be executed under the i'm
tect, provided the work could be done at cost
to the government which would not exceed the
actual cost OF preparing like plans by the
draughtsmen employed in the office. Propo-
sails were accordingly secured, and work let to
the parties above named at very low terms,
considerably below the prices paid in this Office
for work Of like character. as is shown by
statements compiled from the pay rolls and
time records in this department"
