SHARP CRITICISM
OF Methods Used in the Erection OF
Our Public Buildings.

: Washington, July 19.-Severe criticism
of the government methods of erecting
public buildings is contained in the re-
port of the House committee on eXpendi-
lures of public buildings. which Chair
man Cyrus c. Lynn Of Indiana, today
submitted to the House. The committee
points out extravaganza and waste and
the possibilities of fraud in public ex-
penditures, after making it clear that its
investigations were made with no desire
to discover any scandal in the public SER
vice.
The committee recommends that gov
eminent buildings be standardized, and
points out the folly of maintaining a big
force of draughtsIncn and architects to
make plans for every building construct
ed by the government. The report finds
that since 1902, III buildings have been
erected. and that there are now pending
bills for $50 buildings to cost an aggre-
gate of S70,000,000. "If this keeps up" the
committee says, there will be 1920 pub
lie buildings inside of IS years" The cost
of maintenance alone will be 1l000. 900
annually
The office of the supervising architect
of the treasurer is criticized This Office
had no definite policy, the committee
finds, and blame is attached to Former
Supervising Architect James Knox Tay-
Tor for some mistakes The committee
says the present system of awards
should be changed. Without making any
charges, the committee says:
"Under the present method of award
ing contracts for the construction OF
public buildings. there is an open door
for the grossest kind of fraud"
The committee urges that members OF
Congress be less Jealous in their efforts
TO get public buildings for their districts
and recommends legislation making II

city whose population is less than 500

rounding the reported attack upon the
DardaneIles by Italian torpedo boats and

with the proclamation of the Sultan of
