ASSERTS PUBLIC BUILDINGS
SHOULD BE STANDARDIZED
Postmaster General Burleson, in Minority Report of
Public Buildings Commission Says Congress
Should Prescribe Exact Formulas for
Government Structures

600. he says is $50 per- annum. includ-
ing neat, light and water and. in many
instances. janitor service. Therefore, he
says rental of as much as 1000 per
annum is a convenient and reasonable
condition to the authorization of a pub
lie building. Even this. he says. leaves
a wide margin for the authorization of
public buildings on grounds of public pol
icy that could not be justified on a pure
ly commercial basis
To guard against the compulsion of
landlords who arbitrarily raise the rent
or establish an artificial real estate value.
II Is necessary to establish a secondary
or corrective condition. For this he pre-
scribes that a public building for post
office purposes shall not be erected un-
less the rental exacted is as much as
gross Office receipts amount to $4,000
per annum or the population to as much
as 5000.
Should Determine Size.
The size of buildings he thinks should
be determined by the needs of the serv-
ice. and as the Post Office Department,
only is concerned in probably 30 per
cent of the cases. that department should
furnish the necessary information upon
which the area of the building is to be
based. In estimating the space for post
office workrooms, MIR. Burleson says, 100
square feet should be allowed for each of
the estimated number of persons to be
employed in the post office ten years
hence. For instance. he suggests that for
an office employing twenty persons, at
which it is estimated ten additional per-
sons will be employed ten years hence,
the area of the workroom should be
fixed at 5000 square feet
As to cost. he says. from $4,000 to s7.,-
600 has been authorized for exclusively
post office buildings requiring an area of
1000 square feet in places where the
population is less than 100 and where
such a building represents an outlay
many times greater than the cost of any
other building in the community.
Buildings. he thinks, should be con-
structed with view to securing the
greatest degree of efficiency from the
business to be accommodated. Attrac-
tive exteriors are desirable in all build
inSs, Mr.. Burleson says. but should not
be secured at the sacrifice of natural
light and ventilation. Many rooms in
public buildings are practically useless on
account of the lack of natural light and
ventilation. 1t is said the new post Office
building in Washington presents this
very condition in large spaces on the
corners of the upper floors and that the
Chicago post office. where a highly Or
namental public building is in use, en-
ployes are compelled to work under
conditions which would not be tolerated
If the state regulations could be enforced.
Accommodations for Courts.
If $4,000 is sufficient for the erection
of a public building with an area of
1000 square feet in one locality, the
amount authorized should be large

Cites Treasury Estimates.

The Treasury Department. he says. es-
Inmates at 81 600 per annum the mini
mum cost of janitor service light and
supplies for a public building of the
smallest size. and this figure includes
nothing for depreciation. repairs or in
terest on the investment II satisfac-
tory quarters can be rented in such in

sum. the public building represents a

Cleaning Stonework.

Occasion recently arose for cleaning
the outside of a large Office building in
Cincinnati which had become very much
soiled in the smoky atmosphere 1t was
erected ten years ago, and was the first
reinforced concrete skyscraper erected in
that city. Instead OF using a sand blast
for the purpose it was found that the dirt
gave way more readily to a scrubbins
with soap suds and water carrying a
little muriatic acid. says Building Age.

Expert Says Porte
Must Look to Wind

LONDON, July 1o-Discussin2 Lieu
tenant Porte's proposed transatlantic
flight, Charles c. Turner, aviation ex-
pert of the Pail Mall Gazette, says:
IF it were almost any one but Lieu
tenant Porte there would be no need
to give the subject more than passing
thought. Even with Lieutenant Porte
at the helm, the little calculation of
chances leaves one impressed with the
gravity Of the risk. Very wisely he
did not proceed with his first machine,
one with a single 20o-horsepower en-
CINE.
Lieutenant Porte has now divided
his power into two separate units.
Those who know the capriciousness of
even the best aeroplane motors, how
ever. will continue to feel uneasiness
on this score. Ground tests are not
convincing"
Turner expressed the opinion that
Porte may easily go 200 miles of a
straight course unknowingiy IL the air
currents are different to those expected
and that any descent to find his exact
position by taking the sun would be
risky.
TT is to the wind that he must look
for success" Turner adds. Let him
start when there Is a surface wind of
thirty miles from the west all the way
across and he can reasonably expect
lhe CURRENT 70 hom AZ tIllfty-elsnt
miles at height of 1000 feet He
should. therefore. verify this. His
gross speed would then be ninety miles
per hour. and the first stage would oc-
cupy about fourteen hours.
Under those circumstances. IL he
were fortunate enough to find the

fight for 8. 000,0OC, and I have spent
