Shaw to-day transmitted to the House
a statement relative to the work on
public buildings now under construc-
ton. He states that unless more build
ings are authorized. the architectural

creased in size. He adds
sites for public buildings and addi-
ton to public buildings in quite a large
number OF cities and towns have been
purchased under authority granted. In
some of these places the demand for
buildings is urgent.
Il. therefore recommend appropria-
lions covering buildings on all the sites
heretofore purchased. and in addition
an amount sufficient TO make improve
ments In such cities and towns where
like conditions well nigh imperative,

preparations need not exceed 10000

Safety Appliances.

The good effect of the amending act
especially in securing more effective
ountrol of trains through the increased
use of air brakes, is marked Since
the law became fully operative the
number of brakemen employed on
trains has been reduced on some East
ern roads upon the stated ground that
the control of trains by air brakes
renders the employment of the former
number unnecessary. The number of
cars inspected during the year was
2OS,l71, of which 65,1S3, or 81 per-
cent. of the whole number, were found
defective. A smaller number were in
spected this year than last, because
the provision in the new law relating
to air brakes has entailed much adj
ditional work in inspection and secur-
ing evidence in air-blake violations.
The number of trainmen killed in
coupling accidents during the year
was 2IS, and the number injured was
3,441. A large proportion of these
deaths and injuries were due to de-
fective equipment, compelling the men
to go between the cars to couple and
uncouple. and might have been avoid
ed had proper attention been given to
the maintenance of safety appliances.
When the same attention that is now
devoted to passenger equipment is
given to freight equipment, the num-
Der of deaths and injuries will largely
decrease.
