Supervising Architects Omce.

Washington, Nov. 1Z.-When Represent
ative Lester returns to Washington to
resume his labors in behalf of an addi-
tional appropriation for the public build

Supervising Architect Aiken opposing him.
It will be remembered that Col. Lester
has conducted all his negotiations for the
Increased appropriation with Secretary
Carlise. The officials of the supervising
architects Office have never favored Col.
Testers proposition, and now Supervising
Architect Aiken states that under no
circumstances win he join in recon
mendation favorable TO an increased ap-
preparation for the Savannah building.
lie was not in Washington during Col.
Testers last and very satisfactory
Isle, and he probably feels that
he was ignored in the proceedings. The
savannah building was one of the first
to come under HIS notice when he was
appointed, and he made several altera-
uOns in the plans He insists that If the
building is constructed of sandstone and
brick, in accordance with the revised
plans and specifications. a handsome
structure viii be the result, and 1t will
come within the limit of the present ap-
propriation. Aiken threatens to make
these facts known to the committee on
appropriations. Under the eircum-
stances it may be well for Col. Lester to
obtain a recommendation for an increase
direct from Secretary Carlisle. Then Mr
Aiken would not dare try to overrule his
official superior in this matter.
