A Judiciary Buildfnx,

Mr.. MERGERS bill for the erection or Ju-
dietary building on the site corresponding
to that occupied by the Congressional Lii
brary follows the natural expectations Of
those who have watched the development
of the capital The need for such struc-
ture has been long apparent. The Supreme
Court has been inadequately housed practi-
cally ever since it's organization. Its pres
ent quarters are cramped and undignfed.
There is insufficient space for the transac-
ton Of the most important judicial business
of the country. There should be, besides a
larger court chamber. consulting rooms for
each of the justices. attorn vs. chambers, a
sufficient suite of clerks ofilces and COM
modious and convenient library room. In
deed the direct needs Of the Supreme Court
alone justify the erection of a building large
enough to warrant the condemnation of the
counterpart of the library site. The Mercer
bill proposes to include in such structure
quarters for the Court of Claims and the
District Court of Appeals, thus assembling
In one home the three highest tribunals of
this Jurisdiction.
The inclusion Of the Department Of JUS
tice in the projected palace Of the judiciary
would not be questioned were it not for the
enterprise already partly under way to
provide building for that branch Of the
governments executive service. There are
conditions, however. to weaken any objec-
tions which might be made on this ground
to the plan of putting the Department of
Justice with the courts, projected. The
site secured for the new department build
ing is absurdly inadequate The money ap-
propriated for the structure Is not large
enough by half for building Of the conse
quence and prominence of that planned So
unless there is a prospect that the site for
the Department of Justice building may be
materially enlarged or sold and a larger
site secured with the proceeds on the south
side Of Pennsylvania avenue, and that the
appropriation for the structure may be In
creased to permit a creditably harmonious
creation, there Is some reason to urge that
the entire Judiciary business of the govern
ment be housed as the Mercer bill proposes,
in one structure Of such size, beauty and
dignity that the merits of the enterprise and
the value of the expenditure need never be
questioned. ----.
There Is good ground for moving now
to condemn this site as WHOLE. whatever
may be the size and character of the build
ing to be erected upon 1t. The purchase Of
the Library site virtually extended the Cap
itol Park to the east but by leaving great
corner of private property on the northeast
the effect Of this extension was lost. The
park should now be squared out by the pur-
chase Of this corner. thus giving the public
space around these important and beautiful
structures harmony Of outline demanded
by the nature of the occupation. AS thus
enlarged Capitol Park Will become one of
the most attractive and proftably occupied
areas of land in any city in the world.
