Work has just been started under the

Will be found several lines Of manufac-

This is the first serious attempt made
on the part Of the business community

AMERICAN MASTER BUILDER
By FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

The Supervising Architect OF the Treas
ury Department is the embodiment Of
the United States in It's capacity as a
master builder, Under the omnibus pub
lie building bill. the pork barrel, which
was passed by Congress at the close Of
its recent session. the supervising archi-
tcct has just undertaken the construction
Of 400 Federal buildings. For this work
he has S34,OO0,OOO IN addition TO these,
there are about 100 unfinished projects
left from other years, so that Uncle sam
has now 500 public buildings 20 complete.
Unlike other governments. which have
their departments Of public works the
United States government has 70 perform
its building and construction operations
and work Of internal Improvements
through several agencies. The army en-
gineer corps has charge OF all river and
harbor work. and Of the construction OF
the Panama Canal; the quartermaster' S
department Of military building opera
tions; while the Supervising Architect OF
the Treasury Department builds post
Offices and other Federal buildings for
public purposes. other executive de-
partments sometimes have special corps
OF builders to supply their needs along
that line. while many more public struc-
lures have been erected under the super
vision OF special commissions or boards.
Just now the Supervising Architect 8
Office has in charge more than one build
ing for every man employed there. The
Office force under the supervising archi.
tect numbers 800 men. 12O Of whom are
craftsmen Under the new law the serv.
ices of about fifty more craftsmen vii
be needed. The other employees In n,
architects Office are computers and cler-
ical assistants of various kinds. In ad
dition 70 these. there is q field force ot
100 superintendents of construction EN-
ployed b ythe architects office, one foi
each building ia process OF erection.
or course these figures represent onll
a small percentage OF the men employed
on public building work under the Treas
ury Department. The buildings are be
ing constructed under contract by con
tractors. who employ an average Of
sixty or eighty workmen each. Thi
means an army OF 5000 men working OF
100 buildings and that $1,000 more vii
be kept busy under the new law. Thes,
men are paid by the contractors. bu
their work Is supervised generally by tn
architects agents.

latter part OF June and continuing for
several weeks. AS fast as practicable
after the site bids are received, special
agents OF the department are sent to the
cities and towns where sites are offered
to inspect the same. The agents report

either approves or disapproves their

proves. the land in question is accepted
by the government. II a satisfactory
bid has been received from the owners,

however. owners want big prices for

and II becomes necessary for the gov

This has caused some complaint from
interested persons, who want TO get the
best possible building with the money
appropriated. but the law says it must
be done. Under the present practice
the best possible buildings are built with
the money available. The wishes of the
community are consulted and the mate
rials used are the best that money will
pay for. Although an expert has said
that the invention of a nonslippery bath

make public buildings as nearly fireproof

in the San Francisco. Baltimore and
other large fires. The character Of build

more fantastic mOnstrositles, such as

avoided during recent years.
James Knox Taylor. the present Super

and has an enviable record as a capable
builder and good administrator. He rose
from the ranks. having entered the Su-
