j. s. BUILDING PLAN
Commission Headed by Sem
ator Smoot Recommends
Construction in D. c.
TO AVOID RENT PAYING
Five New Structures Proposed for
Housing Government Activities,
as Measure of Economy.

A comprehensive building plan Tor
.bs government in the District OF
Columbia which will cost approx
mately $S0.000,000 is recommended
in the annual report OF the punhc
buildings commission. OF which Sena-
tor Smooth of Utah Is chairman. inls
is in accordance with a statement
made by Senator Smoot several weeks
ago.
Tho building program outlined by
tho commission calls for the erection
of five new government buildings the
expenditure to be made over period
Of FIVE years.
The report calls for an immediate
expenditure of Sl.000.00o to erect steer
stacks for filing government records
IN the interior court of the pension
building These stacks would be NJ
icon stories high. BY moving govern
ment records from offices now occu-
pied by the executive departments
and bureaus to these stacks vast
amount of space will be made avail
able for government workers in those
buildings.
List OF BuildinEs Proposed.
The stacks in the pension bureau
building are not intended to take the
place of the proposed national ar
chives building. but merely as an
emergency plan. giving Immediate re-
lief from congested conditions. The
national archives building Is one OF
the Ave proposed in the building pro-
gram of the commission. 1t would De
erected on the site now available AT
18th street and Ohio avenue north
west.
The other four buildings proposed
are:
A seven-story office building for
the bureau of internal revenue and
the office of the controller OF the
currency. to be built on the govern
ment-owned land between Goth and
@lst streets and b and c streets
northwest.
Three office buildings. for which
plans have been prepared. to be
erected south of Pennsylvania avenue
between 18th and 18th streets.
Would Avoid Rent Charges.
With the erection of these struc-
lures. it is believed that the govern
ment would not have to rent any
quarters in the District for its various
activities, but would be able to house
them all in its own buildings. re-
sulting in very large saving to the
government in the long run.
The report of the commission urges
Congress to remove twelve temporary
buildings. built during the war. in
Guiding those at 14th and streets
northwest and at 18th and B streets
northwest
The report calls attention to the
fact that at present the Department
of Agriculture occupies twenty-five
buildings scattered around the city.
These bureaus should he gathered
together not only for economy, but
also for efficiency of administration,
