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 scrubbing
with soap suds and water carrying a
little muriatic acid. says Building Age.

be provided for any branch of the gov.
eminent service that will not have real
need of accommodation on at least one
day in a month. except in the case OF
United States courts. and provision
should be made for the courts only
where the court has been in session at
least ten days of the preceding year.

Buildings for Departments.

In his report the Postmaster General
urges that the need of the proposed new
buildings in this city for the Department
of State, Justice and Commerce be given
the early attention of Congress. and that
appropriations be made also for the work
upon the plans provided for the Interior
Department building. patent Office, the
archives building and the building for
the bureau of mines.
Heretofore. he says. public buildings
appropriations have provided separate
specific amounts for each of the projects
authorized and the unused portions of
these amounts have not been available
for other projects. If the plans he pro-
poses are adopted, he says. it will be
specially advantageous to have the ap-
preparations made in the form of lump
sums SO that the entire amount appro-

Inconsistency Not Remedied.

The inconsistency of the legislative
authorizations" says Mr.. Burleson, has
not been remedied by the exercise of ex-
ecutive discretion 1t has been the prac-
tice to approximate the entire appropria-
ton in expenditures for the construction
of the buildings authorized This has
necessitated separate treatment in the
majority of cases and has restricted the
output of the supervising architects Of
flee, to the minimum. 1t has also resulted
in the erection OF monumental buildings
out of all harmony with and greatly ex-
ceeding in cost other buildings in the
same localities
The definition of a true public build
ings policy. the Postmaster General says
Is dependent upon the question whether
authorize tons shall be based upon polite
or economic grounds In his judgment
the right policy is one under which build
ings will be authorized primarily for
economic reasons and constructed pri-
marily for unitarian purposes with
due regard. within a reasonable degree.

have been made for buildings costing
more than $4,000 in places where the
population is less than 600. He cites one
instance where the building authorized by
Congress would accommodate the entire

Suggests Several Glasses.

Fixing the limit of floor space at
1000 square feet to be used exclu-
sively or in part for post office pur-
poses hereafter. he suggests that such
buildings be divided into classes. the
size of the building to be based upon
zoo square feet of space for each OF
the estimated number Of employees In
the post Office ten years hence. and that
the limit of cost be fixed according to
the following standards: For 1000
square feet. $4,000; $500 square feet.
$4,000; 5000 square feet. 100000; $500
square feet $4,000, with $4,000 addi-
tional for each additional 1000 square

proposed standards.
Standard plans of several types should
be prepared, says Mr.. Burleson, for each
class of buildings suggested and one of
these type-plans used in the construction
of every public building except such as
must be treated as special projects. He
opposes the authorization of sites in adj
vance of the authorization OF buildings
and states that experience has shown
that property owners Invariably demand
exorbitant rents where sites are thus
authorized. He also believes the Secre-
tary of the Treasury should be given
wider discretion in the selection of sites
and cites evils that have arisen under the
present method, especially in San Fran
CISCO where additional quarters had to
be provided at big expense to meet the
needs of the postal service after the

Estimates Force Needed.

A new angle showing the evils of the
present system is taken by the Post
master General in pointing out the size
Of the force which it is estimated Will
be employed ten years hence in the build
ings authorized. The Smyrna, Del,
building ten years from now will require
twenty employees and its cost was s2O,G0O,
yet that at The Dalles. Ore, which will
employ the same number. cost $4,000.
while the building at Greeley. Col, ten
years hence, with its official force then
numbering twenty-five employees. cost
$4,000 and the post office authorized
for Glens Falls, n. Y, with a force ten
years hence of thirty-seven. was limited
in cost to $4,000, while that at North
Attleboro. Mass, with the same size
force. cost but $56,OOO. The post ofhce at
Gardiner, Mo-, will then have but twenty
three employees, yet its limit OF cost was
fixed at $4,000.
Still another angle is taken in showing
the amount of floor space provided for
different buildings. as compared with the
force to be employed in them ten years
hence The Park City. Utah. post ONCE.

square feet while that at 1shpeming.

will have but 5000 square feet. A large
number of parallels of a similar charac-
ter are cited by the Postmaster General

Postmaster General Burleson believes
the time has arrived when Congress
should prescribe exact formulas for pub
lie buildings which will save money TO
the country and prevent glaring incon-
sistencies which are pointed out with
ruthless significance in his minority re-
port of the public buildings commission
Not only does Mr.. Burieson point out
the evils of the system followed in the
past but he also prescribes what he SAYS
is an efficient remedy for those evils.
He begins with the statement that the
work in the office of the supervising ar
chitect of the Treasury has not kept pace
and cannot keep pace. under the present
system with the appropriations except by
greatly increas sing the working force, and
he attributes the condition to the alb
sence of clearly defined policies with re-
spect to the construction of public build
inSs.
NO standards whatever he says.
have apparently been observed in au-
thorizing public buildings. or fixing IN
advance the limits of cost. AS conse-
auence many expensive buildings have
been authorized for places where the
needs of the government do not warrant
their construction, and widely varying
limits of cost have been fixed for build
ings for which the needs are about the
same"
Tables Accompany Report.
Many tables accompany his report TO
Illustrate the points he makes in his text.
For instance Congress authorized post
office building with 1000 square feet of
floor space for Smyrna, Del. at cost
of $4,000. and yet for precisely the same
kind of building at The Dalles. Ore, the
limit of cost was fixed at $4,000. A
$4,000 building was provided for Wells
burg w. Va. with 400 feet of floor
space. while the same kind of building
at Georgetown, KY, was provided for at
limit of cost of 800. Elkins. W. Va.
was given a building with 5000 square
feet for $4,000, while one for Sycamore.
ILL.,, with $500 square feet, was provided
for at a cost of $4,000. and one for
Laurel. Miss, precisely the same size,
for $685. 600
A building was authorized for Millville,
N j., with 5000 square feet, at a cost
Of $4,000 and one precisely the same
size at Gary, Ind, at a limit of cost OF
1899; one with 600 square feet at
Greeley Col. at $4,000; one at Thomas
vile, Ga, with 600 square feet of floor
space, at SCI 900. and one of 5000 square
feet at Waltham. Mass. for $6S,94S. While
s171, 4sO5O was allowed for one of the
same size at Newark, Ohio, at cost OF
$171,4SO.5O.
