Architects Powers Enlarged.
The Treasury made this statement in
connection with the changes in the Treas
ury:
"Coincident with the changes in the
personnel in the Treasury. the super
vision OF the large force of custodians,
watehmen and janitors of federal build
ings throughout the country will be trans
ferred from the chief clerk to the SUPER
vising architect. The architect already
has control OF the appropriations for in
spection, repairs and mechanical equip
ment. By extending his jurisdiction a
duplication and overlapping of work will
be avoided, and a division OF RESPONSE
bility will no longer exist. The supervis-
ing architect will also be charged with
the responsibility for the fuel. lights and
water appropriation. as well as that for
the pay of janitors. This change will
make necessary the transfer OF several
clerks from the office of the chief clerk
to that OF supervising architect"
