New House Office Building

The prospect is. that the Govern.
nlent will construct another building
close to the Capitol to give Office room
20 Representatives. This is an illus.
tratiOn of how rapidly the Govern
mint at Washington grows and how
its needs increase. -. '
Several years ago it was found that
members OF the House required more
room than they could find in the
House Office Building, and talk OF a
new structure has been heard for
eight or ten years. The Sixty-efghth
and directed the architect OF the Cap.
itol to submit to the Sixty ninth Con.
gress recommendations for new
building, or Enlargement of the pres.
ent building, and II ton
for new building were made the
architect was directed to report on the
question of proper site.
Plans will be presented TO Congress
for new building and three propos-
ais as to site. One proposal is that
that Government build on such aand
as it owns in the square bounded by
New Jersey avenue, South Capitol,
B and G streets, which is the square
west of the House Once Building.
The Governments holding in that
square is considerable, but the square
also contains valuable private hold
ings. The second proposal is that the
Government acquire private property
rights in that square and use the
whole square as the site of the pro.
posed building. A third proposal is to
take TIVE squares, those between New
Jersey and Delaware avenues, b and
c streets, and construct on them an
Office building which would surely
meet the needs of Congress for many
years.
Congress not only needs a new
Office building but the building which
would be constructed would consider
ably improve that part of the city
adjacent to the Capitol. While the
west side Of New Jersey avenue from
B TO c streets, with its hotels and
Government structures, is very hand.

which the proposed building may be
