night lying on the floor in the comfort

Work Was Delayed.

Work was delayed on the memorial
several times because Of decisions of
the auditor general of Pennsylvania,
which prevented use of appropriations
until favorable Interpretation of the
statutes had been obtained from the
courts. and because of the necessity
of securing action from Congress TO
move the Botanic Garden from the
Mall. and to remove the Bartholdi
Fountain, which encroached upon the
setting of the Meade Memorial.
The contract was signed by the
sculptor June 7, 1919. The National
Commission Of Fine Arts approved

Pennsylvania avenue from Fourteenth
to Twelfth street with u big interior
court. The Commission of Fine Arts
is recommending this type of construc-
ticn for the Federal building program
on the triangle south of Pennsylvania
avenue, as we'll as for the District
building program on the north side
of the Avenue.
Offices Must Move
The condition that forces early ac-
ton on the new municipal group prob
lem. arises from the fact that the
housing now occupied by the District
IS being taken for the Federal build,
ing program. The Traffic Bureau and
the Employment Office, on Pcnnsy J.
vania avenue; the House of Deten
ton and Women's Bureau, at Fiji
tenth street and Ohio avenue. No
3 Fire Truck House and the physical
examination rooms of the police and
fire surgeons. at Fourteenth street
and Ohio avenue; the No Ii Engine
Co. on ID street near Twelfth; the
municipal garage, on p street between
Thirteenth and Thirteenth-and-a-H Gif
streets; the first precinct police sta
ton and the municipal lodging house
Oh Twelfth street between c and II
streets. are District activities which
are being evicted. The clinic was
moved out OF the House of Detention
during the past week. All Of these
must be provided for and there is
no possibility of further congestion
in the District Building.
BESIDES this, the Juvenile> Court. for
which a separate building has been
advocated. is in one of the Federal
Government-owned hotels on ground
that is to be used for extension of
the Capitol grounds as Il parkway, and
so must be torn down. The recorder
Of deeds Office is in rented quarters
and legislation has been pending for
the last two Congresses to erect d
new separate building for this i'm
portant agency. The Police Court
occupies it's own property, but this
is VIGOROUSLY inadequate. and Con
gress has approved legislation author
iZng Il new court building, but there
has been very serious disagreement
over where it should be placed. sc
the appropriation was held up. The
Municipal Court is in unfit rented
quarters and a new Municipal Court
building has been proposed.
Still another activity of the District
that must be provided for and which
must be considered in the District
Building program. even though it may
not be located with the municipal
center. Is the very necessary District
Armory. The District National Guard
| like the Juvenile Court, is In one of
the temporary wartime Government
| hotels that must soon be torn down
| The District National Guard has been
| homeless for many years and should
not be forced 10 occupy any more old
fruins. but should have mode
armory, which would be nationa
h. adnuarters for members Of the Stat,
militia from any State in the Union
when they visit the Capital and should
on that account alone be a mode
structure.
| There is only one small piece in this
| proposed new location of a mode
municipal center that the District now
owns; that is on Louisiana avenue
near Sixth street. and was bough
| years ago for Il municipal lodging
| no Sc that was never built.
