r. G. Grier, president of Erskine col
lege, at Due West. lie emphasized to

In this dilemma the government
finds one satisfactory way out. 1t can
buy the land for $500, 600, about what
three years rent would dost. Congress
is considering this obviously economi-
cal measure and approval is said to he
certain. The temporary buildings arc
regarded as good for several years, and
after that the government will still
have the land as n site for permanent
structures.
Across tho street from some OF these
temporary Offices is another govern
mcnt problem. Here are two buildings,
joined together by passageways, which
together make the largest office build
! ing In the world. They are the navy
and munitions buildings. They contain
roo. 900 square feet of space, and
some of the corridors arc 1900 feet
! long.
These record breaking office build
ings are bone. Of contention because
they were put up as temporary wal
structures. They stand firmly enough
on government owned ground, but the
land is n part of Potomac park, and
the city planning scheme calls for the
removal of the prosaic buildings to
develop the park.
The buildings are modern in every
respect and arc extremely solid Tor
temporary construction. If they had
been built across the street on leased
ground which the government is now
buying they would have stood unchal-
Ilengrd and serviccable for at least tit-
teen years to come. They may stand
for years as il is. The two buildings
together cost more than S7,OOOOOO
They house several thousand workers
who would have to be provided fol
somewhere if the biggest government
office unit were scrapped.
Economy and the city beautiful idea
arc contesting over this situation, and
economy has the advantage now. Its
cause is being advanced for the gov
ernmcnt by a public buildings commits
sion at the capitol. This commission
has for it's ultimate aim the removal OF
every government office in Washing
ton from, rented building space. The
department OF agriculture, which is
housed in twenty-six different build
ings, about half of which are rented
is an example of the problems whicf
confront the commission.
= The public buildings commission Is
out to save the government money and
it points proudly to the fact that Its
economy begins at home. 1t has nc
crew Of stenographers clerks and mes
sengers. Three years ago when II
started it was given an initial appro'
priation of $4,000 by congress and il
still has $1,000 to it's credit in the bank
In three years it has saved the govern
ment more than half million dollars II
rents by moving bureaus out of rented
buildings into government owned Off
ces. Thus the commission notes thai
the veterans bureaus personnel Il
shrinking daily and il finds that there
is room in tho war risk building for the
entire force of the alien property Gus
