Washlngton.-When II comes to
large and expansive enterprises in the
structural line there is no man for
the Job like Scott (Rep. W. Va-),
chairman OF the senate committee on
public buildings Scott observed one
day that the government pays about
$3.50, 900 annually in Washington for
the rental of buildings, some of which
reflected no credit on Uncle Sam, and
that the old gentleman should house
at least his important departments in
buildings to whic. he held title. He
figured on the best solution of the
problem and evolved what is probab-
ly the second biggest building project
In the history of the United States
The capitol cost s15.000.0oo and he
has introduced a bill in the senate to
give II effect. The Scott building Is
to afford shelter for the departments
OF state. justice and commerce and
labor. These departments are pay
ing $4,000 a year for the use Of pri-
vately owned buildings and yet their
work is carried on under the great
est difficulties. The department Of
justice occupies seven buildings and
the law library is located half a mile
from the attorney generals office.
Clerks are in many cases obliged to
work at desks placed in Railways and
in two buildings. a part OF the force

The department of Commerce and
labor is established principally in a
large block designed for business pur-

including the trust-busting informa-

For all these reasons Senator Scott
has planned to place the three de-
