The Arlington County Civic Fedora

relief.

check should be made on the system

OFFERS TO PAY COST
OF REMOVING SHEDS
Federal Government Willing to
Clear Site for Proposed In

An offer to pay the cost Of removing
the three sheds on the westerly half of
the farmers produce market to make
way for the initial construction Of
the proposed new Internal Revenue
Building was received by the Com
missioners today from G. S. Dewey,
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury.
I'm case the District of Columbia
has no funds for removal of the
Sheds" Mr.. Dewey wrote, "the eX-
pense could be borne out of the APP
preparation for construction of the
building as a part of the expense of
clearing the Site"
Mr.. Dewey informed the Commits
sioners that in all probability the
foundation work on the new building
will be started about January !, and
that the sheds should be removed

that the great department should
be given such commanding
location on the Nations main street
between the Capitol and the White
House and Treasury. 1t is fitting that
such a most convenient location be

Claim Being Entertained.
And SO the predominant claim of
the Department Of Commerce to this
site is being entertained by the Pub
lie Building Commission, for these
two principal reasons: % Its contacts
with the public, and GU proper adj
nlinistration and cooperation.
AS regards its contacts with the
public, being essentially a service de-
partment dealing with the public, it
has people from all over the country
coming here to consult with the bust

visitors find the Secretary himself
and a good part Of the Bureau Of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce in

manufacturers especially, have to
