BUREAU BUILDING
MAY HOUSE AUDITORS
Few Changes Would Save Gov
ernment Rentals of About
s35, 600.

But few changes will be necessary ia
convert the old and "soon to be aban-
doned'' Bureau OF Engraving and Print
Ing building into a well-equipped office
structure to house the various auditors
for the Treasury Department, as pro-
posed by Secretary McAdoo in estimates
submitted to Congress.
Many of the auditors offices are now
scattered in rented quarters& in the
Upion- building and the Small building.
rentals costing the Government approx:
imately $35,oo a year. Congress has
received with favor the proposal to
save this sum each year by the use q
the old bureau building.
Tentative plans for the changes have
been drawn in the office Of the Super
y:sing Architect of the Treasury. Ac-
ccrding to Assistant Secretary Allen,
these changes are not extensive, but
provide simply for numerous partitions
ard fixtures necessary to change big
factory floor into office suites. The
changes, according to the tentauyc
plans, will cost $7S,75o.
Asks $4,000 For Work.
An appropriation of $4,000 In asked in
the urgent deficiency bill to begin work
az soon as Director Ralph, Of the bu-
roau, moves his forces to the new bu-
reau tuilding. This emergency appro-
tristior Is asked because the present
leases under which the Treasury rents
quarters for the auditors expire June
% next An appropriation in the leg
islative bill of this winter would not
be available until July 1 next, too late
to make the necessary changes before
the Government was compelled to make
new rental agreements.
Not only IL q saving OF over $4,000 I
year assured IL the bureau building is
made available for offices, but with a
larger force In the Internal Revenue
Division to be made necessary by the
income tax, further room Will be need
ed for the department. With the nee
tssary changes in the old bureau build
ing a rental expenditure on this ac-
count would be saved.
Would Raise Efficiency.
A consolidation of Treasury offices
would also result. it Is believed by de-
partmeTit officials, in greater admins
trative efficiency.
Persons of esthetic taste have recon-
mended that the old bureau building,
because of its architectural deficiencies,
doe not meet with favor with Treasury
OFFICIALS, who are bent on Il good bust
ness administration.
No architectural or structural changes
m the building are to be made under
the plan. The exterior will not be
touched. No interior decoration Is To
be undertaken, and the offices under
the plan are to remain as severely plain
as the Old factory rooms. Partitions,
additional plumbing and light fixtures,
and painting will complete the change.

Why Is This Racer Like
The Peachtree Special?"

II will do no good to mention this
mans name; the story has nothing
much to do with the man, anyhow, and
is just as good for being anonymous.
He lives on Peachtree street and
owns several motor cars The other
day he made an addition to his collec-
ton, purchasing a long rakish auto
mobile that seemed fashioned to work
out a weird dream Of the mechanic,
who turned all his attention to the ma
chinery and forgot about the passen-
gers who were to ride in it and their
comfort. Consequently the seating IA
cilities were very much limited. But
you all know how it is with these cars
they call racers.
The proud owner was displaying the
car to his friends.
Il am thinking of naming it," he in
formed them.
"'Sat so? What are you going to call
it?"
"Oh, don't Knoxville Green Devil,
or The Imp or something like that"
replied the owner, who happened to be
one of the boys.
Say, why don't you call it The
Buckhead Express or The Peachtree
speciaI?'" suggested one of his friends
"Why?"

REMOTE CHANCE
FOR FREE SUGAR
Ways and Means Committee
WreStIeS With the Problem.
Hope to Avoid Trading.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Whether
sugar is to be placed on the free list
still was undecided today by the house
ways and means committee. which is
holding daily sessions in preparation of
a tariff revision program.
A majority of the members of the
committee. it is believed, is in favor
of free sugar. but many of them fear
that free sugar will be an incentive
for the representatives from the beet
sugar and cane sugar districts to start
a log rolling excursion which will in
volve trading" on pretty nearly every
other schedule
These members believe that if mod =
crate duty is placed on sugar there
would practically be no incentive to
wholesale trades" Nearly 100 mem
bers are involved in the sguar ques-
ton, representing districts where beet
sugar or cane sugar is produced. The
final decision of the committee will
not be made for some time.
That organized labor Is to conduct
strong crusade against radical reduc-
ton in the tariff became known today
Though they will make no statements
on the subject, 1t is known that many
prominent labor leaders here will fight
reductions on manufactured products
and will bring much pressure to bear
on the committee
