The Public Buildings Commission
in this report also specifically urged
the immediate construction of an

Urged Razing Fire Traps.
In its report to Congress on Janu-
ary 4, 1923. the Public Buildings Com
mission emphasized the moral duty
and real economy in tearing down the
temporary, war-emergency buildings,
saving:
"One fact which is becoming more
evident each day is that the Govern
ment should at the earliest possible
moment embark upon building pro-
gram which will lead to the housing
OF all departments and independent
establishments in permanent Govern
ment-owned structures. The commits
sion is rapidly approaching a point
where 1t will be impossible to effect
further reductions in rentals unless
new buildings be erected.
ITO illustrate the urgent necessity
for immediate action. the attention of
Congress is directed to the fact that
there are now In existence IL Of the
socalled temporary war buildings, com.
prising a total floor area of 2,380,559
square feet. The best Judgment of
those In position to know is that these
structures cannot possibly last more
than s or 10 years longer, and even
then 1t will probably be necessary to
spend vast sums for their repair. In
fact, one OF them is deteriorating so
rapidly at this time that the constant
expenditure of considerable funds is
necessary to make it habitable. The
building referred to is the old War In
dustries Building at Fourteenth and B
streets. and occupied by an important
unit Of the Bureau Of Internal Rev.
enue.
1T is very evident that immediate
steps should be taken to replace these
structures with permanent buildings"

committee on public buildings and
grounds, stressed the fire peril, say
ing:
The necessity for the adoption Of
a building program has long been
recognized by all who are familiar
with conditions under which many of
the Government. activities carry on
their work. Unless early action be
taken by Congress to relieve the pres
ent situation. 1t is only d question of
time, and very short time at that,
until the Government will find itself
in an inlnossible situation. due TO the
rapid deterioration of the so-called
temporary war buildings.
There are now in existence IL of
these structures, ranging in floor
area from 10000 square feet to 800 900

ner. This commission has had nearly
tve years experience in dealing with
the assignment Of space in the public
buildings. and has necessa rily ac-
Quired an intimate knowledge Of con-
ditions and the space needs of the
Government in the District of Column
bia.
The importance of taking early
action with a view to adequately hous-
ing the Government in Washington
can hardly be exaggerated. and this
commission earnestly hopes Congress
will take suitable action in the prem
ises at the earliest possible day"

The commission then went on rec
ord unanimously as convinced that
Congress should 'at once" authorize
the expenditure of many millions OF
dollars for the construction OF suitable
public buildings In Washington.
In advising regarding needed legis-
lation In it's last annual report the
Public Buildings Commission suggest
ed ''as the most feasible plan that d
general authorization for buildings in
the District OF Columbia be inserted
in one of the public building bills, au-
thorizing the expenditure of $50 0,000.-
900 over a period Of ) or 10 years.
This general legislation would make 1t
possible to carry out the entire pro-
gram without the necessity of coming
to Congress and asking for authOriZa-
tion for each individual building, as
has been the custom In the past. In
fact the commission is convinced that
this is the only way in which satisfac
tory provision can be made for an ade-
quate housing OF the various depart
mentS within reasonable time.
Furthermore, It would make ii pos
sible to plan the entire program at
once, keeping in mind at all times the
desirability of bringing the various
units Of each department as closely
together as possible.

second baseman Of the Washington
champions, suffered an injured fin
ger today and was forced out OF
the game and possibly out of /the
opening game of the seasons classic
The middle finger of Harris right
hand was badly gashed when he
dove into third base in the first in
ming of today's contest with Cleve-
land. The finger still was lame from
a previous injury and Clark Griffith
president of the club, said later that
he was doubtful If his manager
would be able to start in the World
series.
Although the champions are ex.
pected to have easy sailing for the
remainder of their regular schedule
requiring only three victories in their
IL games to clinch the title, the
prospect of Harris absence from the
World series lineup was regarded as
serious setback.
