Suggestions About q District Building.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
notice the subject of District building is
again being agitated. and it is to be hoped with
successful results, and the capital city may
have building worthy of the seat of govern
ment and in line with other public buildings
in which all san feel Just pride. It ia agreed
that we need a building. Now the subject of
location;
Reservation z, situated on Pennsylvania and
Louisiana avenues, rs suggested by Mr.. Doug
lass in The STAR OF the 18th, offers the most
central point, being accessible by street cars to
all quarters Of the District and has q frontage
OF over 500 feet on these avenues would
suggest. latter the hare is caught" that prize
be offered for the best plans embodying the
following: building 500 feet long, fronting
Pennsylvania avenue. with the depth OF the lot,
- feet. The first and second stories to be de-
voted to District offices, which will include all
departments now in rental quarters. The third
floor to be made into one grand hall, covering
the entire floor space, but 30 arranged that It
can be divided into two or more halls by tenn
porary partitions. for the permanent homes Of
the District militia.
II such a building should be erected, large
amount would be saved in the way of rent, our
grand boulevard would be greatly beautifed,
all the District offices under one roof and the
land would cost nothing.
Respectfully, &C.,
FRANK HUM.
