House yesterday from the committee on public
buildings and grounds the bill to authorize the
Secretary Of the Treasury to obtain plans and

system proposed will secure the best architect
ural ability in the designing and construction
OF public buildings and will give to the coun-
try better type in its buildings and stop the
wasteful extravaganza that is the necessary re-
suit OF the present method. The report says
that the cost Of the best types Of buildings con-
structed for states municipalities. corporations
and private citizens ranges from 3S to 80 cents
per cubic foot of space, while the cost of the
buildings constructed by the United States
ranges from 90 cents to 81 per cubic foot
