The building Area.

when you reflect that the building area
of the District of Columbia covers sixty
two square miles, 1t will be observed that
it becomes a physical impossib;lity for four
men to supervise the construction of build

constantly employed and ever on the alert,

number of hours in a day to give that in

above, namely, $780, and incidental
thereto there was a great amount of cor

situation at present is such as to cause
many builders and others to complain alb ,ut

urgent necessity to provide the clerk to as
gentlemen in this part Of the office.
Four Additional Inspectors.
1.-The corps OF assistant inspectors should
be increased by the addition of four men.
inasmuch as at the present time each man
covers an area of Is IL square miles. and
his duties comprise not only the supervision
of the new buildings and the alteration and
