SUPREME ceuRF BUILDING.
Representative Mercer Introduces .
Bill ApproprtatinG 81, 100000.


Bill Approprtating $7,OOO,OOO.
Chairman Mercer of the House commit
tee on public buildings and grounds today
introduced a bill in the House appropriat-
ing 100000 for purchase of a site and
the construction of a building for the ac-
commodation of the United States Supreme
Court and other government offices.
The bill designates the chief justice of
the United States Supreme Court, the At
torney General and the Secretary of the
Treasury a commission to purchase or
condemn squares 72s, 728 and 727, bounded
by B street north, by I'd street east, by
East Capitol street and 1st street east.
The building when constructed shall be
used by the United States Supreme Court,
the Department of Justice, the national law
library and for holding international tribu-
nails.
The same bill last year provided for
housing the Court of Appeals and Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia and the
Court of Claims, but that provision is
omitted from this bill.
The building is to correspond in archi-
tectura1 design to the Capitol and Con-
gressional Library buildings. and the de-
sign is to be selected by competition from
ten architects II
The bill, except as noted above, con-
forms In all respects to the bill reported
by Mr.. Mercer fromsthe committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds in the last Con-
greSS
