Just in time to prevent dissolution by
natural decay. They are unsightly,
an intrusion upon the park. The build
ings on the other reservations, though
somewhat more substantial, are mis-
cradle makeshifts for Government
housing. Daily risks are run in their
use. Fire drills are necessary to &C
custom the occupants to the possibility
OF emergency involving the graVeSt
peril. The dead weight Of documents
stored in them is a menace to safety.
The prospects of public building leg
islation at this session are bright. Dl1-
ferences regarding the question of an
Omnibus bill have been ironed out
and no obstacle is now in evidence to
prevent this enactment, which IS at
least five years in arrears in terms of
the post war conditions at the Capital
But even with enactment at this SEES
sion, several years must elapSe before
constructions are completed, and
meanwhile these temporary" build
ings must be occupied. They must,
of course, be made safe. But while
they are being made safe the utmost
speed should be shown in legislative
preparation, and, consistent with per
manent durability, in construction
There remain for consideration the
two buildings now occupying a portion
of Potomac Park. an obstruction to
the proper vista of the Lincoln Me
mortal, an invasion of the reservation,
and so located as to be announcement
and unsatisfactory. They are also
listed as temporary" but being made
of concrete they are altogether too
durable for the ease of mind of those
who properly regard them as tres
passers. They should be included in
the list of wartime constructions to be
removed as soon as the present public
building program is adopted.

The Temporary Buildings.

The House appropriations commit
tee is now faced with a deficiency es-
innate of $4,000 covering the cost
of certain repairs to eleven of the tenn
porary Government buildings erected
during war time on public lands. Seven
of these are in Potomac Park, three
are in the Mall and one is within the
fifteen years ago for departmental
structure erection. This appropriation
is urged as necessary to prevent these
buildings from collapsing. The work
will consist of replacing rotten wooden
posts that constitute the underpin-
nings by concrete piers and the re-
placement of the wooden joists and
Orders supporting the floors. If the
work is not done the floors of these
buildings may at any time collapse,
causing disaster, perhaps loss of life,
and certainly the destruction of ire
placeable records.
1t is to be hoped that the work of
repairing these structures will not be
support now rendered necessary by
the precarious conditions will not be
too substantial. Concrete construc-
ton suggests some degree of perma-
nence, whereas it is in contemplation
that all of these buildings will be RACED
within short time.
But, of course, the buildings must
be made safe for their occupants and
for the documents that are stored in
them. They must be put in shape to
last during the period that must elapse
between appropriations for permanent
housing accommodations for the Gov
eminent bureaus and the actual COM
pletion of the needed structures.
The buildings in Potomac Park
should have been destroyed long ago.
Some Of them, indeed, actually did
collapse and others were torn down
