Commission Asks Heating Systems That

fuel of the future here in the District
of Columbia. The question. therefore,
is one of getting adequate furnaces IN
which to burn soft coal without max
ing so much smoke as to be both UNI
economical and destructive of pubic
buildings and monuments. This can
be done provided the furnaces are
constructed with plenty of air room
above the burning coal, and PROVIDED
also that firing is carefully done.
IF Fort Myer is to burn soft coal.
then it's furnaces should be adapted
to burn soft coal Otherwise the de-
struction of Government monuments
will more than offset the saving IN
the burning of the smoke producing
coal. The commission will be glad 10
go into this matter with you fully.
On the basis of the information re-
ceiyed from the Bureau Of Mines that
soft coal can be burned without exces-
sive SCOT or smoke, the commission
will urge that provision be made for
burning soft coal in the heating equip
ment of the buildings in the triangle
The position of the commission is
that the Government should not spend
about $3.50, 100000 for public buildings
over a period of years, install ineffi-
cient heating plants and see the build
ings defaced by SCOT and smoke re-
sulting from inadequate heating equip
ment. Acids released in smoke and

Abatement of the smoke and SCOT
nuisance, as it applies to the possible
injury to the public buildings to be
constructed in the triangle south of
Pennsylvania avenue between the
Capitol and Fifteenth street, has
aroused the Commission of Fine Arts.
The possibility of making Washington
even more Smokeless city than 1t is
under present ordinances Is to come
up in the discussion of the public
building program scheduled for the
next meeting of the commission, Jan
uary 6.
Commission officials, after a thor
ough study of the question of burning
soft coal in Washington and after
conferences with authorities of the
Bureau of Mines. are convinced that
the remedy for preserving public
buildings and monuments from de-
facement by SCOT and smoke lies in
more efficient methods of burning soft
coal rather than in more drastic smoke
avs or in a recommendation that
anthracite, a practically smokelesS
fuel, be used by the Government.
The entire question has been brought
again to the attention of the commits
sion by a request from Maj. u. NJ.
Diller, quartermaster at Fort Myer,
seeking the advice of the fine arts
body on the possibility of damage to
monuments in Arlington Cemetery if
soft coal is burned at Fort Myer
Maj. Diller told the commission he
had been ordered to burn soft coal.

Chairman Moore of the commission
wrote Maj. Diller today, after quite
