Department that takes up the work. The
first step is 90 advertise for site In the
town where the building Is to be erecIeu'
The offers are made to the Treasury De-
partment and the letters are opened upon
specified day. After the offers have
been considered an agent is sent TO look
the sites over and he reports to the Sec
rotary of the Treasury as to which in his
Judgment is the best piece of ground TO
purchase. If the Secretary approves the
ground is secured. If the price asked is
above the average of other ground selling
in the immediate vicinity the courts are
resorted to and the ground under consld-
Grafton is condemned. OF all the ground
bought by the government about - per
cent has to be condemned, either as re-
suit of exorbtant prices or in order to
get clear title.
At this iuncture the title papers are
secured and forwarded to the Department
of Justice, when the Attorney General
has to certify to the Secretary of the
Treasury that the title Is good and suf-
ficient. Then, but not before, can the
Secretary pay for the ground 1t Is not
until all these prelimnaries have been
gone through that the plans for the pro-
posed building are begun.
If the Treasury Department has the
erection of but one building to consider
the work goes forward without Interrupt
ton. But where. as al the present time,
there are 500. some order has to be main
tanned For this reason a system has
been inaugurated which completes the
erection of every building as soon as is
justifiable under the existing circum-
stances Each site as soon as the title
papers have been declared clear, Is given
a consecutive number and the erection of
the buildings themselves is taken in that
order.
There are two sets Of plans drawn up.
The first, or preliminary drawings. are
the ones upon which the estimates are
made. These are submitted to the cabinet
board. This board is composed of the
Secretary of the Treasury and the heads
of such departments as will have en-
ployes in the new building. If the accom-
modations are sufficient the sketches are
signed and the drawings are then ready
for the draughtsmen. The second set OF
drawings Is the working set, They are
submitted to general contractors by az
vertisement for competitive estimates. AS
in the case of the purchase OF the SITE
the contracts are opened at the depart
ment on a certain day, and If estimates
are within the limit of cost fixed by the
committee on buildings and GROUNDS tne
lowest will be chosen, the contracts
awarded and work started

states. Since the United States Su-

states special "afen licenses" costing

from owning guns. And New York
will commence this season to impose
a special hne of 800 for each viola

the environment of the locality is always
taken into consideration.
Upon Mr.. Taylor devolves much of the
work and responsibility connected with
this part of Uncle Sans work. Under
his supervision are made the first esti-
mates as to the possible cost and size, as
we'll as the estimate of the amount need
ed for each years work. To his division
also falls the work of advertising for the
ground. drawing up the plans, furnishing
the building, and finally being responsible
for its maintenance. To fill such a posi-
ton as this requires experience, and in
this respect Mr. Taylor is by no means
lacking.
Mr. Taylor is native of Knoxville, H.,
and was educated in the public school at
St. Paul, MINI. He took a supplementary
course in architecture at the Massacnu-
sets Institute of Technology, followed
by a three-and- course in the
office of an architect in New York. With
this knowledge gained, Mr.. Taylor began
to practice, and for ten years was an ar
chitect in St. Paul, Minn.. and then for
a period of three years in Philadelphia
In April. 1898, he became senior
draughtsman in the United States archi-
tect's Office, subsequently being appointed
principal draughtsman. In October, 1897,
he was appointed supervising architect OF
the Treasury Department after civil
service examination in which he stood
second in class OF forty. Mr.. Taylor is
the first incumbent of this office under
the classified service. He is fellow OF
the American Institute of Architecture
and of the Geographic Society of this city.
Mr.. Taylor hopes to see a bureau OF
public buildings established, under which
will be placed the work of erecting all the
buildings needed by the United States
government. In connection with this Mr..
Taylor said:
''It is we'll known principle in business
that the more division there is in the
administration the more expense there
follows as result. Combine as much
as possible and 1t not only results in
economy, but makes it possible to stand
ardize methods and processes so that the
actual expense of construction would be
less. 1t also eliminates the lack Of GER
tainty regarding the question of where
to apply for given information. This Of
flee Is constantly receiving inquiries about
work coming under other bureaus and the
matter has therefore to be referred.
THE bureau of public buildings. as L
would like to see it, would be semi-in-
dependent bureau controlled by Congress
and representatives from all the depart
ments. The Treasury Department. for
instance, would control the financial end.
while the other departments would con-
troll work coming directly under them.
Two bills have already been introduced
before Congress for the authorization of
such bureau as Mr.. Taylor is anxious
to see established, and another bill is
now before that body.

amount he has already expended for
other workshops throughout the Uniteo
States and possessions.
Although Uncle Sam is a rich old gen.
tleman when it comes to forests, mines
and minis, not to mention all his other
wealth giving sources, he is nevertheless
handicapped in many things. One or
these is the building of his various places
of business. When the average citizen
wants to erect house or office he finds
the way comparatively easy, provided, of
course. that he has the necessary money.
But with Uncle Sam it is different, and
he finds the way beset with countless OBJ
sta cles and official red tape, all of which
have to be overcome before the building
becomes Il reality. And he further dis
covers that to do this requires. as a
usual thing an almost endless amount of
patience.
OF the erection of Uncle Sans work
shops about so per cent come under the
control of the Treasury Department. Post
Offices, custom houses, courthouses. minis,
assay Offices. marine hospitals, quaran-
tine stations and other government build
ings come under the Treasury Depart
ment directly, just as the new bureau or
engraving and printing. Then. too, the
Treasury Department has charge Of such
buildings as are erected at the various eX-
positions for the purpose of housing gov
eminent exhibits, and in addition to all
this such work may be assigned to 1t
by Congress. BY this last arrangement
the new departments of State, Justice and
Labor will be erected by this department.
OF the buildings coming under the
Treasury Department there have been al
ready 600 built and maintained. That
represents an expenditure of over $3.50,
OOO,OO0 which includes the purchase OF
the site as we'll as the erection of the
building in each instance. Every year

average ST., 0O0,OO0 for sites and buildings

WATERMELONS ARE SCARCE.
Total Stock on Hand Today Less
Than Four Thousand.

The watermelon season is rapidly draw
ing to a close, and within the next week
or ten days, as soon as the cool days
come, the vessels that have been en-
ployed for the past month in the service
will turn their attention to other lines Of
river -freighting. Though there was a
large fleet of misunderstanding boats
lying at the wharf market this morning.
the total stock on hand ives less than
1000 melons. 1t is thought, however,
that one or two melon-laden craft will
arrive here this afternoon and will pre-
vent the market from being short on the
fall fruit. Within the last few days there
has been an advance In the price Of
melons, the fruit to-day bringing from Sc
to $lS per hundred, with good demand.
: With the advance of the season the
receipts of oysters In the shell, continue
to increase. Vessels are arriving daily
with Potomac river stock aboard. and
this morning the bivalves were selling at
from 10 cents, to 90 cents per bushel. The
demand for oysters is good and the quail
ity Of the stock now being brought to
the market here is above the average for
river stock.

MONEY Is NEEDED TO
ASSIST THE AFFLICTED
Special Relief Work of the Associ-
alton for the Prevention
of tuberculosis.

The committee on special relief of the
Association for the Prevention of Tuber-
culosis has begun its active fall work.
This committee has charge of all funds
used by the association in aiding tuber-
maintained with the Associated Charities
and the Citizens Relief Association.
which provide for the necessities in the
home life of the patient.
During the summer this committee has
raised a pension of 81 a week for one
very deserving patient, provided reclining
chairs and cot for others and aided a
number of patients in securing sanator-
ium treatment. This last field of service
u regarded by the committee as by far
the most important, as in many cases
such help given at the right time may
turn the tide from wasting life to vigor-
Gus health. Splendid results are reported
in many cases, and many men and
women have been able to resume the
work which they were forced TO drop
tor q year or so.
To bring health and happiness to as
many as possible who have contracted
tuberculosis in the incipient form the
committee on special relief tries many
ways OF raising money. The second APP
peal OF the year has gone forth recently.
This appeal is in behalf of a young man
who needs about six months sanatorium
care to effect his cure. Three dollars a
week has been asked of the committee
ON special relief, and it is hoped that
the entire sum can be raised.
Acknowledgment is made Of the follow
ing contributions which have been sent
In response to this appeal: Cash, 81;
