CENTRAL HEATING
PLANT IS UP AGAIN
Officials Consider Single Sys.
tenn for New Government
Building Program.

With administration leaders pledged
to more comprehensive development
of the National Capital by additional
appropriations to be asked Of the next
Congress, meeting in December, new
and serious study is being given to the
need, possible location and size of
great central heating plant to furnish
heat to all Government buildings east
of the White House and west OF the
Capitol
Oficials of both the Treasury Depart
ynent and the Office Of Public Buildings
and Public Parks of the National Capt.
cal have renewed their consideration OF
the question, which has been proposed
Cff and on for several years.
The new buildings which are already
under construction here as part OF the
Governments huge housing program for
the Capital are being provided with
heating plants which can be used IS
"break- down" plants in case of any
emergency later on, should the great
central plant be installed.
Practical Problem.
But looking to the eventual compile
tion of the building program here, eSpe-
Cially that monumental group OF build
lngS In the triangle, experts have turned
Rgain to the heating plant as one of the
most practical problems now to be
laced.
The tentative plans for development
IF the triangle do not include a heat
hg plant. but from the Office of Lieut..
Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, director of the
5ffice of Public Buildings and Public
Parks, which will operate the buildings,
homes the specific recommendation that
ihe heating plant for the triangle would
be the most practical solution.
Maj. Ferry K. Heath, Assistant Sec
Fetary of the Treasury, in charge Of
public buildings both here and through
Out the country, has had the heating
plant problem up with technicians of
the Treasury Department and with the
Board of Architectural Cousultants.
which has just concluded three days
session here.
Economy Proven.
Economy of heating by a central
plant already has been proven in. the
Government service, as there are at
least three big central heating plants
now in operation to care for three
groups of buildings. One plant takes
care of the legislative group of build
ings on Capitol Hill; another. in the
state. War and Navy Building, heats
this structure. the White House and
some other buildings, and the third
big plant, erected few years ago near
Nineteenth and B streets, heats what
is known as the Potomac group of build
1ngs, including the huge Navy Building
and its adjoining Munitions Building.
Objections to having separate plants
in the triangle were said to be many
including the number Of chimneys
throwing smoke into the air over the
monumental buildings, the cost Of trans
porting fuel to the building and cart
ing ashes out and the cost Of personnel
for the various plants.
