mont with little or no beneht.
There are hundreds OF people who were

NEEDLESS PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

In connection with his annual re-
port as secretary of the treasury
William G.. McAdoo takes occasion
TO refer to the manner in which ap-
preparations are made for public
buildings and he doesn't waste any
words in saying that much money is
fused in that work, especially in lit
tie towns, which is not justified. He
declares that "the conclusion is ir-
resistible that authorizations for
public buildings in these small COM
munities are too frequently dictated
by local reasons and without regard
to the best interests of the govern
ment." There can be no question but
what he is right upon this point par
ticularly when it is known how often
large sums are spent for sites and
structures for federal buildings when
the. entire post office business does
not equal the interest on such expen-
ditures.
The secretary goes further and says
that common sense and business
judgment would seem to demand that
structures for the transaction of gov
eminent business should be author
lied only in localities where they are
imperatively needed and that build
ings should not be erected where no
public necessity can be shown. This
result can be accomplished by divorc-
Ing the public building question from
all local and political consideration
and autborizing no public buildings
until a thorough and intelligent in
vestigation of each proposed building
or project has been made to this de-
ipartment and a full report thereon
has been submitted to congress- ,fhis
- -.
mendation has been put forth. 1t
represents good sound judgment but
lit remains to be seen whether the
congress to which such a recommen-
dation Is made will lend its ear to the
reform. The. wiping away of the po-
l1itical considerations is more easily
advised than accomplished.
