ditions as they exist today show that
Senator Smoot spoke with certain
knowledge when he said in HIS report
to the President and to Congress that
the Department Of Agriculture u thu
worst housed institution in the city
of Washington"
We have seen how this great branch
Of tho Government establishment has
been forced to endure housing condi-
ously detrimental to good administra-
ton and which involve flre hazards Of
an extremely serious nature. What's
to be done about It?
Needs Of Department.
Obviously what tho Department of
Agriculture most urgently needs II an
unusually large ONCE building, not
monumentallike in structure with
fancy columns and mausoleum- style
windows, but with abundant light and
ventilation and real work Offices and
laboratories. Tho purpose should be
to bring all the w1de.nung activities
Of the department into group of build
ings near together and accessible for
conferences.
Various proposals have been made
for meeting these needs. About three
years d8O octIcldIH w dlldcc dp-
pointed a committee Of department
officials who made Recommendations
which had the support of the Public
Buildings Commission and were in
cluded in the public buildings bill
urged at the last session Of Congress.
These recommendations were: % Con
struction of central portion connect
ing the two existing white marble
buildings as originally designed; and
f2) construction on one Of the squares
south of Ii street & modern 1ireproof
office-type building. which would cover
an entire block and with four stories
and basement would provide about
500 900 square feet Of floor space.
While the public buildings bill was
under consideration in the closing
days Of the last Congress the super
vising architect OF the Treasury De
partment, In a tentative building pro
gram, included three schemes for the
Department Of Agriculture: % Com
pletion OF the center pavilion with a
dome and a quadrangle. which would
require the purchase OF four blocks
to the south and relocation OF y
street some 200 feet farther south:
t2) construction of the center pavil-
ion uniting the two marble wings. but
with two additional stories instead of
the dome. and certain extensions. and
