MAY USE PURCHASED SITE
LOCATION PROPOSED FOR GEO.
LOGICAL SURVEY BUILDING.
Square Acquired for the Hall of
Records Utilized by Sun
dry Civil Bill.

Ifathe para graph in the sundry civil
bill authorizing the construction of a
building for the geological survey and
other government offices becomes law
the new building will be erected on the
old hall of records site between 18th
and 10th and E and F streets, square 4S.
This specific provision for the site is
made in the sundry civil bill. The old
hall Of records site was bought by the
government several years ago, but since
then nothing has been done toward
erecting a building on the ground &C
quired.
When the discussion Of this PROPOSE
ton was undertaken by the sundry civil
subcommittee Secretary Garfield OF the
Interior Department and Director smith
of the geological survey were In at
tendance. In reply to a question from
Representative Smith of Iowa, Secretary
Garfield Said that he thought the build
ing should go on the Mall, which he con-
sidered was the best place to put 1t In
conformity with the general plan that
has been suggested. He added that any
building put there should be in harmony
with the beautiful architectural fea-
lures that have been outlined. SO that In
years to come there will be nothing
erected there that would require change"
Purchased Site Proposed.
And then Representative Smith made
this comment: For some years I have
been trying personally to give away the
Hall Of Records site for some purpose.
Would not that be a suitable site for
this building?'
Secretary Garfield admitted that with
out doubt it would be an admirable site.
And one which would not be marred,
as the Mall would suggested Repre-
sentative Smith, 'by the construction Of
building of simple architecture
Secretary Garfield said he thought that
although it was quite true that the Hall Of
Records site was a place where the lack
of architectural beauty would be less no.
ticeable than on the Mall, at the same
time he thought the government should
not erect any building in Washington
which was not of fitting and proper ar
chitecture.
After the hearing the committee agreed
upon the Hall of Records site, and that
is where the building for the geological
survey will go If the provision passes
through Congress in It's present form
