Why Delay Prompt Purchase

The President Secretary Mellon the Public Buildings Com

purchase for future Government buildings and public
poses of all properties between Pennsylvania Avenue and
the Mall Third and Fifteenth Streets except the Southern
Railway Building
sons why the proposed purchases should be sanctioned with
out delay funds provided Chairman Shell Of the House

passed at this session of Congress. 81
Bills have already introduced in Senate and House
Tor acquisition of this cost not to exceed $26OOO
O00 there another bill for the acquisition Of properties

the Capitol Grounds Third Street This bill ought to go
through without delay. ).
When high officials Of the Government including the Public
Buildings Commission recommend purchase of these
ties long careful consideration why should definite
action put off another year. during which time the
properties will increase in value that WISE successful bust
ness man. Secretary Mellon, has pointed out?
Congress should be deberatve body on all questions
which there doubt and dispute Human opinions
There isn't anything dispute about in the purchases Of
these south of Pennsylvania Avenue properties The Govern
ment must have them at time buy elsewhere at
greater cost to itself There are no other properties in Wash
ington logical for Government uses
The initial steps to be taken not complicated Con-
gress must first pass legislation directing the acquisition
That ought to be easy with practically opposition The
thing the appropriation of funds make the pur
chases That should delay in the Appropriation
Committees.
The delays that will be occasoned before the Government
obtains possession the vexaous Properties that
cannot be bought prices fixed by the Government be
obtained through condemnation proceedings in courts and
this might cause long delays.
It will be several years before the Government get
possession of all these properties and the longer Congress
puts off definite action the difficult the acquisition
will become
should be bought by the Government without delay unless
it wishes to pay higher prices in future years.
