LEPER CAN BE DEPoRTED.
Government Must Pay Expense
However, for Special Reason,

Because a leper, removed from the
steamer Rochambeau. at New York
came originally from Hawaii. he can
not be deported in the usual manner
by returning him on the steamer which
brought him. But he can be sent back
to Hawaii, whence he came, at the ex-
pense of the government.
This is the ruling of the controller OF
the Treasury, w. w. Warwick. on q
reference from the public health serv-
ice. Should the health authorities de
termine that it is necessary to senC
this leper out of the country to pre-
vent the spread of an infectious disease
between the states, Controller Warwick
decides, or between municipalities
within a state, the quarantine appro.
priation is available.
The lepers name is not given. He
was bought to the United States BY
the Rochambeau December 20 last.

PROPOSES TO ENLARGE
HEATING PLANT SCOPE
Secretary McAdoo Asks Authority to
Take in Other Public
Buildings.

Secretary McAdoo proposes to in
to be served by the central heating.
lighting and power plant. and has
sent to Congress draft of legislation
designed to increase the limit Of cost
on the plant from s1.494,1 O4 to 81 .669,-
1O4. He would add to the long list of
buildings already to take service from
the plant the Johnson Walker build
ing, known as the navy annex; the In
terror Department building. the Lin
coin Memorial and the Womens Memo
rial Cred Cross building).
To Reduce Unit Cost.
"The estimated cost of bringing the
connection of the central plant to the
buildings named says Secretary Nc
Adoo in letter to Congress, fs $175.-
900. The serving of these additional
buildings from the central plant will
have the effect of reducing the unit
cost of steam and electricity in the CEN
trail power plant and will also result
in saving on the building now con-
templated under the present act; and a
saving on the four buildings mentioned
of $4,000 per annum over what it
would cost to make the steam in the
buildings and purchasing the current
from the Potomac Electric Company"
Other Savings in Prospect.
This saving will be further increased
as other buildings are added. In view
of the economy which would be eff
fected this department strongly recon-
mends that the limit of cost for the
construction of the central lighting,
heating and power cost be increased by
SITS, 900, fixing a total limit of cost at
S1,699.104."
An additional appropriation of s25.-
900 is asked for technical and clerical
services and special supervision of the
building irrespective of whether the
building cost is increased.

be seen surrounding it The trees to
the rear are rather numerous ana
thick, and coming from the river to
the south is to be seen the 1iber, al
most touching the foot of the Capitol.
The territory now occupied by the
Botanic Gardens is practically bare.

Houses of the older type are TO be seen
scattered to the west of the capitol
Men ana women, stylishly dressed
for that period, are promenad1ng
about the Capitol, which is smaller
than the present structure, not only IN
height, because of its lack of dome,
but also in length, being without its
wings.
Two of the interesting maps were
made in 1918 and 1889, respectively.
