.FAvORS ERECTION
OF new ARMORY
Subcommittee Opposed to Elk
pensive Patchwork
Repairs.

After hearing from several architects.
the subcommittee on Grounds and
Buildings last night reported to the
opinion from the information secured
that the city should erect a new ar
mory building for the First Virginia
Regiment at an approximate cost of
100000. and that 1t should acquire
property on East Marshall Street to
enlarge the ground plan of the build
ing.
Arthur W. Hall and E. H. Averill.
of Washington, each presented
sketches. These two architects. as
the firm Of Axerili & Hail. designed
and supervised the construction of the
Blues Armory. Since then they have
dissolved partnership and operate in
dependently.
Mr.. Averill advised strongly against
building. which he said. would be un-
satisfactorily and temporary and
would not meet the needs of the mill
tary occupying the building, the pres
ent drill hall being too small for bat
ever. a scheme for remodeling and
charging the present structure and
putting on a new steel truss roof at
an approximate cost of $4,000 He
also presented sketches for new
building, with a letter from John T.
Wilson. saying that it could be erected
cf freproof construction throughout
for from 100000 to $4,000
Mr.. Hall presented an estimate for
.remodeling the present armory with
out enlarging it, of $4,000 and plans
for a new structure to cost approx
mately 100000. He strongly advised
against repairs. The roof. he said,
was actually dangerous. 1t was an old
wooden truss, more than ninety feet
in length. and showed signs of saggins.
The south wall was bullying and the
walls in other places made 1t inad-
visable to put new steel roof on
them. Both architects advised strong
ly againts any effort to repair the
present wooden roof saying that II
the building is to be used again, 1t
should be replaced at once with steel
truss. but that such alterations would
be costly, and that 1t was much more
desirable to secure the three adjoin-
ing lots and erect new and adequate
armory building arranged on modern
lines with proper military equipment,
provision for gymnasium, rifle range,
company rooms and storage of equip
ment, as we'll as having drill hall
large enough for battalion formations
and drills.
The plans submitted We're without
