tied to only 100000 it has been ascer-
tanned that the District building will have
to be built of brick with limestone trim
mings, or else the front may be built of
limestone and the back of brick.
In 1902 when the original bill for the erec-
tlon of the new District building was be-
fore Congress, the House committee on pub
lie buildings reported favorably on a bill
limiting the cost to 81, 800 900. The Senate
committee, however, cut down the amount
by 100000. The Commissioners believed
two years ago, as it is understood they be-
lieve now, that they could not erect a
building Of the character proposed for
less than $500, 600. although they have
endeavored by every means known to them
to keep the cost of the building within the
limit previously authorized by Congress.
dollars and that made large hole in the
appropriation. Then the construction of
the foundations will cost about 5000 900
more, and the architects fees, and other
items incident to the erection Of the build
Ing still further reduce the amount avail
able for the purchase Of material and the
construction work
From present indication II seems evident
that the citizens of the District will have
to come to the support of the District build
ing commission and the Commissioners in
their efforts to secure an appropriate ton suf
hcfent for the erection of a building nlOnu-
mental in character that shall stand for all
time the home of the District govern
ment. 1t is not considered desirable or ad-
visable that brick building, unattractive
in appearance. be put up for the official
headquarters of the District government in
the capital of the nation, where there are
so many magnificent public buildings for
the general government.
1t is also pointed out that In the case of
the District building the District pays half
the cost and from the nature of this case
it is hoped that the committee on public
buildings will see fit to grant the request
of the commission and not compel the COM
mission to construct building out of brick
or limestone, when for few hundred thou
sand dollars more a building can be erected
that will be substantial and monumental in
appearance and credit to the capital city,
as well as in harmony with the structures
erected wholly at government expense for
the government departments.
1t is believed that in the end the people
of the District, who pay-half the cost, not
only of the new municipal building. but also
of practically all of the permanent improve
ments that go to make Washington the
ideal capital city of the world. will be given
adequate consideration by the members of
the committees of Congress who have the
preliminary decision in the matter

ENFORCING SMOKE LAW
STATEMENT MADE BY CLERK OF
POLICE COURT.
Further Discussion Of Points in Con-
troversy-Comment Made by Com
missioner West.

The discussion and investigation of the
smoke nuisance and the proposed smoke
law amendments INDUCED in by the Dis
trict officials from day to day within the
past week have brought to light number
Of interesting facts and conditions. Com
missioner West who Is continuing his in
vestigation into the matter of the enforce
ment, Of the present smoke law, obtained
some information this morning
The suggestion made to him that the Po-
lice Court is largely responsible for the
non-enforcement Of the law. in view of the
fact that the forfeiture of SO collateral Is
accepted in every case where prosecution
is recommended, has been one Of the details
to which he has given his attention. He
addressed a communication this morning to
Mr.. F. A. Sebrine. finance clerk of the Po-
lice Court who fixes collaterals. asking that
official whether any protest or criticism had
ever been made of his action by any Off
cial connected with the District govern
ment.
Mr.. Sebrings reply was an emphatic de-
NAL. He reported to Commissioner West
that he had fixed collateral under the au-
thority given him by the code, but that no
suggestion had ever been made to him by
the health officer, or any other District off,
cial. charged with administering the law,
Lnat the amount OF cOllateral was MADE
quate or that it interfered in the slightest
with the effort of the authorities to enforce
the smoke law.
Prerogative Of Health Office.
Mr.. Sebring further stated that 1t was al
ways the duty as well as the prerogative
of the health officer or any other official
charged with administering the law to
have complained that the collateral was too
small In amount, and that 1t was equally
within any officials province to have in
sisted on trial In court and that, If nee
essary, application should have been made
to the District attorney for an attachment
to be issued for the accused.
Mr.. Sebring said he had always under
stood that the $40 collateral had at least
the tacit consent of the health officer, but
that certainly no suggestion ever reached
him that the amount ought to be increas-
ed. In view OF this declaration. Commits
sioner West is OF the opinion that the re-

Arguments for an Increase.
IT is stated that Commissioner Macfar-
land In presenting this matter of increase
In cost of the municipal building to the
subcommittee on appropriations presented
the arguments which have heretofore been
advanced in support of the proposition and
which are known to all the citizens of the
District. These arguments are that the
Commissioners originally asked for $500. :
900 for the municipal building, and that 1t
has been found. after efforts have been
made TO keep the cost of the structure
within the S2.00o.O00 limit. that monu-
mental building constructed out of either
granite or marble cannot be built for less
than $500. 900.
