ARCHITECTS DENY
HOUSE CHARGES
American Institute Does Not Con-
troll Designs of Public Build
ings, Is the Claim.

Washington members of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects assert that
| the charges made against them in the
report of the House Committee on Ex-
penditures in the Treasury Depart
ment, fled yesterday by Chairman Cox.
of Indiana, are not borne out by facts.
The charges made by the committee.
in brief. are that the institute controls
the selection of designs for public
buildings; that architects not members
of the institute are seldom given gov
ernment contracts. and that an in
crease of per cent in the cost of pub
lie buildings is due to the privileges
enjoyed by members OF the institute.
E. W. Dom. of Wood, Dom & DEM
ing. said there could be no truth in
the charge that the institute controlled
designs of public buildings. because
the institute had no way of exercising
such control.
II most OF the government contracts
are awarded to members OF the insti-
tute, II Is because the leading archi-
tects of the country are among US.
Whenever a competition is held for a
public building contract, l have never
known any but a member of the insti-
tute to win IL.
No Chance for Favoriteism.
favoritism or graft, as the designs are
submitted to a jury chosen by the Sec
retary Of the Treasury. numbered and
accompanied by a sealed envelope. con-
tanning the name OF the firm. Thus the
winner is never known until the contest
Is decided.
The increase of per cent in the cost
Of public buildings may well be account
ed for by the higher prices of material
and labor. / am confident an investiga-
ton would prove that public buildings
are more cheaply constructed by inde-
pendent firms than by the Supervising
Architects office. Government construc-
ton entails an amount OF red tape" and
organization expenses equaled by no
business FIRM. All of this comes out of
another appropriation. and is not count
ed in the cost of the building. but the
public pays for il Just the same"
Mr.. Dom added that IL the govern
ment buildings were to have any indi-
viduality in their designs, the contracts
must be given to different firms. He de-
clared that the great fault in govern
ment buildings is their mOnotony of de-
sign.
Mr.. A. p. Clark. also a'member OF the
institute, affirmed that the charges wers
untrue. In regard to an increase from 5
to 6 per cent OF the cost of the building
in the fees charged by architects, he de-
clared that recent increase in wages and
the cost of living made II necessary.
The increase was approved by the de-
partment. but condemned by the House
committee.
