TO REMODEL THE HOUSE.
The House Committee VIII Consider
Several Plans To-day

Washington. ID. c., Feb. 15.-Several
plans for remodeling the House of Rep
resentatives will be considered to-mor-
row by the House Committee on Yen
tilation and Acoustics. Mr.. Heatwoie.
of Minnesota, recently renewed atten-
ton to the subject by offering a reSold-
ton for the expenditure of Sl0o.0oD for
remodeling the hall and putting in Z
complete system of ventilation.
Mr.. Hcatwole's plan contemplates
taking out the desks of members, so
that attention of members will be cen
tered to the work of the House rather
than to letter writing, etc. 1t also pro
poses much more retiring room both for
leisure, writing and the private work
usually done at the members desk. An
other plan by Mr.. Beech, of Ohio, EN-
braces the idea of forum, to be placed
in front of Speakers desk, from which
members will speak in addressing the
House. Some time since Speaker Reed
suggested remodelng in line with the
Chamber of the House of Commons.
These several plans and suggestions will
be considered and an effort made to have
the remodelng accomplished during the
coming recess of Congress.
