Public Works Plan.
An office, which, in effect, will be
"a Bureau Of Public Works, will be
icreated in the Department of the
Interior. To this agency will be re-
ferred the rivers and harbors work
now under charge of the War Depart
ment engineers. The Supervising
Architect of the Treasury will come
under this new Bureau also. Whether
public roads will be transferred thence
from the Department Of Agriculture is
not known but seems probable.
The manifold duplication in the
Secret Service work of the Govern
ment will be corrected by the con-
Department of Justice This will in
tclude the Secret Service and the
Special Agents Of the Customs, now
under the Treasury and the Postoffice
inspection Service. These will be
Joined to the important Bureau of In
jvestigation in the Department of
Justice, which already is doing the
bulk of the secret work of the Gov
iernment. OF course, the military
anu Itc -lISpdIt-
ment will maintain their own intel
ligence services but, the civil end of
the secret service will be concentrated.
w VIII Save Salaries: -
Millions of dollars will be saved
in salaries, according to the commits
sion. To-, effect the reorganization
will remove an astonishing amount
of duplication and overlapping. Par
ticularlyA there will be a saving In
the higher. classes of salaries A
further saving is included i'm the
matter of rented quarters maintained
In various cities by Government de-
partments. For instance, various de-
partments of the Government main.
tain. in rented quarters, literally
scores of printing offices, all over
the country. Much of this work
will be concentrated and win be
brought to the Government Printing
Office at Washington.

large measure, to the President him
self. Walter F. Brown, chairman
of the joint commission, was >ap.
pointed to that post as special rep
resentative of the President and has
