SUPERVISING ARCHITECT
Is WORKING OVERTIME
Plans 116 New Government
Structures for Smaller Towns
Now Being Prepared at
Washington

Especial Correspondence Morning Journal
Washington, Oct. 21.-The first ses.
sion of the Fifty-ninth congress, when
1t passed the omnibus public buildings
bill. provided for a large number of
additions TO buildings already erected
and otherwise increased the govern
ment's facilities for housing its pub
lie servants. But the item in that bill
of most general interest to the coun-
try at large was the gift to 116 cities
and towns Of brand new public build
ings and the appropriation of money
with which to begin the work.
That was more than a year ago,
and congressman from the cities that
were SO favored have beer Emporium
ed by their constituents to hurry up
the treatury department. to the end
that they might witness the beginning
of actual work on those structures.
The supervising architect of the treas
ury has lust succeeded in clearing his
desk of all the other work that took
precedence over these proposed new
structures. His staff of experts has
gone to work in earnest upon plans
for the lac buildings for smaller
cities, and the inhabitants of those
cities soon will rave tangible evidence
that the government means business.
The act Of June 80. 1906, increased
the limit of cost of forty-three build
ings already authorized; authorized
the purchase of additional land for
three buildings, and provided for the
enlargement. Improvement and extern
sion of forty-five others. twenty-eight
of which require enlarged sites. The
limit of cost was fixed and %appropria=
tions made for forty-one buildings on
sites that had been heretofore
bought. Five buildings We're author
lied on condition that the sites should
be donated to the government eighty
seven sites were ordered purchased
without appropriations being made
for the buildings. and 116 sites. to-
gether with the buildings to be erect
ed thereon. were provided for in the
bill. The total cost Of all these build

two hours before the congress expired
by constitutional limitation. Nothing
of the kind had YER before been done
by congress.
The stress OF work in the-supervis-
ing architects office prior to reach
ing these t16 buildings has been
something enormous In the first
place. it was imperative that the four
big structures of the federal govern
ment at the jamestown exposition be
gotten out of the way. The third mat
ter of Importance, in the order in
which the work a mapped out, con-
sisted Of the preparation Of plans for
the buildings to be erected on the for
ty-one sites the government then
owned, but for. which no appropria-
tions for buildings had beer made I'M
til this last bill. These forty-one
buildings are now practically out of
the way, and the office Is hard at
work on the 116 new propositions.
The supervising architects office
has much to contend with before get
ting a building under way. The draft
ing force, which is the bon and sinew
Of the architects office, as practical
~ d-isintegrated in 1905. At that
time the office ran out of work. con-
gress having failed TO pass any pub
lie buildings bill. As a result. seven-
ty-five of the best men in the service
were let go and soo found better
paying positions. When congress, in
1906, enacted its unusually large om-
nibus bill the office was not equipped
for the task thus thrust upon It. The
country was secured for good drafts
men. but the rigors of the civil SER
vice law made their procurement slow
and at times exceedingly difficult.
For the past six months, however
the staff has been in good working
shape, and the same is said of the
force of scomputers who figure on the
cost of the work after plans have been
prepared. The work now is being
turned out rapidly and all evidences
of congestion have disappeared. The
supervising architect has a force Of
$50 men. of whom 1870 are craftsmen
and computers. The entire force is
working over time in order to get the
in such shape that congress

Would Remodel House.
II the plan recently proposed by
Congressman Boutell, of Chicago, goes
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1907-10-27

through the next congress. the hall Of
the house of representatives will take
on something of the appearance of
the British house Of commons. Mr.
Boutell believes the hail Of the house
is too large and that the public bust
ness is neglected or, at least, negii-
gently attended TO by reason of the
impossibility of members hearing all
that is said. He proposes TO remove
the desks now assigned to each mem
Der and substitute benches. This
would result in diminishing the size
Of the chamber and making the body
a more compact mass, bringing every
member well within the hearing Of
every voice and affording him oppor-
tunity to understand whatever was
said in debate. no matter in what part
Of the chamber the member might be
speaking.
Former Speaker Reed advocated
this idea. but the house was not at
that time ready for the innovation
Now it seems imperatively necessary.
The membership of the body has
ROW to unwieldy proportions in re-
cent years. and the next apportion-
ment win add many more TO the mem
bership. To-day the seats and desks
have been put in almost every avail
able foot of space until the chamber
bears a badly crowded appearance. e
There is every reason to believe that
the plan of Mr.. Boutell will find favor
in the house. There is no reason why
1t should not, and there are many
reasons why 1t should prevail. Not
only would ii result in economy Of
space, but 1t undoubtedly would lead
10 economy Of time. The proposed
arrangement would put the members
in touch with each other, and. what
is more important, in touch with the
proceedings, to the end that better
legislation might be obtained. The
construction of the new house office
building. which gives each member a
private office in which 20 conduct his
business and attend to his correspon-
denee, emoves the reason which
made the original plan of individual
desks necessary.
There are 670 members of the Brit
ish house Of commons and they are
accommodated in a much smaller
space than the present chamber Of
the house Of representatives. Mr..
R%outell's plan contemplates an en-
largement of the retiring and smok-
ing rooms by e~neroaching upon the
present floor space of the chamber
proper. This would, of course, en-
large the galleries ana bring the
spectators nearer to the membership
and make it possible for the speeches
to be heard. Under present conditions
there are few members who can make
themselves understood by the CALLER
les: for a visitor to get any adequate
understanding of a members argu-
ment. he must sit directly facing the
speaker. As this Is possible in the
cast of only a limited number of the
speeches delivered. the house of rep
resentatives impresses the average
visitor more as a noise than anything
else, and the effect Of careful argu-
ment delivered under such eireum-

C~ortelyou Shy OF Reports.
Newspaper readers possibly may
have noticed that up to this time not
one OF the annual reports of the chiefs
Of the innumerable bureaus aud divis-
ions under the secretary of the treas
ury have been published. Secretary
Cortelyou has ideas Of his own as to
how the treasury should be run. and

department, for his rerusal and study.
that ne may make such recommends
lions as he may deem advisable, based
upon the reports submitted to him by
his subordinates.
The secretary of the treasury is the
only cabinet official whose annual re-
port is required by the constitution to
be made to congres an other eabi-
net members submit thoir reports to
the president. Heretofore it has been
the custom in the treasury department
for these bureau and division reports
to be issued to the press AS soon after
the close of the fiseai setf as possible.
Mr.. Cortelyou stopped this by a little
order directing that no report should
be issued until It had received his APP

sent to him he quietly flied them away
When he vent off on his vacation he

them at his leisure, using what mate

secretary has put the seal of his ap-
proval on the reports they viii BE- re-
leased for publication, but meantime
there is a good deal of chatting on
the part OF bureau chiefs who have
been accustomed to see long reviews
