properly planned and pla, ed depart
ment and bureau buildings.
Some of the departments Of the
Government are housed as no bust
ness corporation would tolerate. In
some instances the branches Of a
single department are scattered over
several square miles. This entails a
great waste Of time in the ordinary
daily transaction of business. The
overhead cost of administration is
greatly increased in consequence.
The time Of all visitors who have
business with the Government offices
is seriously wasted. 1t not infre-
quently happens that a man coming
to Washington to deal, for example,
with the Internal Revenue Bureau
Of the Treasury Department finds
that he must cover in the course Of
his errand eight or ten miles in jour
neys back and forth between branches
of that office, going from chief to
subordinate, from sutchief to supe-
rior. all in different and widely scat
tered buildings. 1t is probable that
the interest on the sum now proposed
for proper building equipment for
the Federal offices is at present lost in
terms Of the time and energy to those
who are engaged in dealing with the
executive establishment.
All these facts are well known.
Every Government official has urged a
broad program Of construction. The
Public Buildings Commission has pro-
posed it, and this present bill is the
result of its consideration Of the ques-
ton. Every factor of public business
and true economy presses for imme-
diate action. There should be no doubt
of Legislation early in this session so
that work can at once begin in the
planning Of the proposed structures
and the provision of proper sites for
them.

The Public Building Bill.

Prompt Introduction of a bill to
expend s50,o00,OOO for the erection
OF Government buildings in this CITY
puts that important measure in line
for carly consideration at the present
session. Not even the most strict
economist intent on safeguarding pub
lie funds and preventing unnecessary
expenditures can logically object to
this enactment. In the first place
the money allotted to this purpose of
properly housing the Government de.
paItments will not be Immediately ex.
pended, but will be spread over a
period Of years. Again, every dollar
thus spent will be earning a large
investment income for the Treasury
in the curtailment Of the Govern
nent's rent bill. Finally, the Federal
business will be facilitated by the
provision Of proper quarters for work
ers and for the filing of records. Risks
of loss will be lessened. 1t may be
conservatively estimated that the eff
cheney Of the Federal administration
will be increased by at least twenty
per cant thrsagh the erection OF

Map the Bus Routes!

Upon official suggestion the buses
of one OF the traction companies in
this city will display upon their win
dows maps indicating the routes they
follow, to guide persons who may
seek transportation by that means.
This is an excellent plan, which should
be extended to all the bus lines in the
District. These vehicles run upon
somewhat erratlc routes, which are,
Of course, known to their regular
patrons, but which are unknown or
unfamiliar to others. Their destina-
tons are announced by means of
signs at the ends, but the streets
traversed are not identified, so that
persons who wish to go to some inter
mediate points cannot know. save
through experience. where the busses
run. Strangers in the city are quite
at a loss to understand the routes,
and even Westinghouse who do not
have frequent occasion to use the
busses are puzzled. Maps that tell the
story simply and plainly would facili.
tate the traffic and would probably
add to the patronage. Brief descrip.
tons of the routes might likewise ne
placarded at the regular bus stops,
on the standards which identify those
points. In fact, anything that serves
to tell the public where the busses
run and when they may be expected
as in the case of one of the lines, the
exact schedule of which is announced
at each appointed stop-would be to
the mutual interest OF the operating
companies and the public.
