CONTROL OF WATER
SUPPLY Is ASKED
Commissioners Send Bill to
Senator Gallinger.

The District Commissioners yesterday
sent to Senator Gallinger, chairman, OF
the Senate District Committee, a bill
providing for the transfer from the War
Department to the Commissioners OF the
jurisdiction over the Washington auue-
duct. the filtration plant. and its appur-
tenances. The Commissioners requested
that the bill be introduced as soon as
possible. and urged that the Senator use
his influence to procure its passage.
Under existing law the Chief of Engi--
neers of the army has Jurisdiction over
the water supply system. including the
dam at Great Falls. the Washington
aquedUct and reservoirs along the route.
the filtration plant, and a portion of the
water mains laid in the streets of the
city, while the Commissioners have SUPER
vision over the distribution If the water
after it leaves the filtration plant
The Commissioners believe that the
transfer Of the Jurisdiction will result
in marked economy in administration and
operation charges, and will be clearly in
the interests of good government.
THE interests of the United States"
reads a portion Of the letter which was
sent to Senator GalIinger accompanying
the bill would not suffer by such a
as the control of the entire sys-
TEN would be under the legislative power
of Congress, and in case of war or OF
other reasons for the United States as
Stunning control, such Jurisdiction could
be retransferred to the War Depart

Site Chosen by Congress.

| SITE ShOsen Dy congress-
The site chosen by Congress is that
recommended by the McKim commission
and approved by the National Fine Arts
Commission. 1t lies between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets, and extends from
| Pennsylvania avenue south to the Mall
which runs from the Capitol to the Wash
ington Monument. The Department of
Justice building will occupy the north
end Of this site. its principal front on
Pennsylvania avenue diagonally across
from the south front of the Treasury.
The Department Of Commerce and Labor,
building Of the same width, but Of
much greater length north and south,
comes next, extending nearly to the
Mall. The State Department, thanking
the group on the other end. will face
+ south on the mall, its front on a line
with the south front of the National
Museum; a line corresponding with that
upon which the completed Department of
Agriculture faces on the South side of
the mall opposite. The site for the
State Department has not yet been au-
thorized by Congress.
To obtain designs for the buildings.
three separate competitions were inaugu-
rated by the Treasury Department, and
held simultaneously. Sixty of the lead
ing architects of the country were in
vited to submit plans, twenty for each
building; fifty-seven sets of six or seven
drawings each were actually sent in
some 36O-odd drawings-one for every
day in the year.
Probably the twenty best sets cost their
authors more than s., 900 apiece, and the
rest an average of $500 The drawings
themselves therefore, represented an ex-
penditure of nearly $4,000. This expendi-
ture falls upon the architects and is not
borne by the government.
Three JurIes of Architects.
Three separate jurfes of architects were
chosen and assembled for the enormous
task Of winnowing out this mass of ma
terial, and rendering decisions so just as
to be acceptable to the officials of the
departments and the public, and to justify
themselves even to the unsuccessful COM
petitors Within a week of the submits
sion of the plans three kilograms were
dispatched by the Hon. Franklin Mac
Veagh. Secretary of the Treasury, an
nouncing to the winning architects the
juTy's decision.
The design of the building for the
Department of Justice was awarded to
Dom Barber; the Department OF Com
merce and Labor to York & Sawyer; the
Department of State to Arnold w. Brun-
ner. These three architects were then
called together by the Secretary of the
Treasury and given instruction to develop
their individual buildings with the heads
of the departments for which they are
intended, having constantly in view at
the same time the reconciliation of the
