House District Budget Group
Leader Urges Plan for
Prompt Action.
SAYS OLD BUILDING
COULD FORM CREDIT
Suggests Existing Structures Pres
ent Value Be Set and Amount
Used in New Project.

Chairman Simmons of the subcom-
mittee which handles the District bud
get In the House, today discussed with
Secretary Mellon Of the Treasury, di-
recting the Federal building program, a
method by which the District govern
ment can begin at once on the erec-
ton Of the new municipal center on the
four squares north of Pennsylvania
avenue between Third and Sixth streets,
bounded on the north by Indiana and
Louisiana avenues.
Mr.. Simmons says, first, that the Dis
trict government now has to its credit
in the Federal Treasury sufficient funds
to buy all Of this property at reasonable
prices.
COntemplates Prompt Action.
His second proposal contemplates be-
ginning promptly upon the erection of
the administrative section of the mu-
nicipal group without unduly curbing
other Improvements for the National
Capital and without materially increas-
t1iC tdACS.
He recommended to Secretary Mellon
that the Federal Government should at
once take over the present Municipal
Building. where the District Govern
ment will not have room for necessary
expansion owing to the fact that the
Federal building program contemplates
the use of surrounding property.
Mr.. Simmons argued that by some
method. the present value of the exist
ing Municipal Building should be de-
termined and this amount placed to
the credit of the District in the Federal
Treasury to be used for starting work
on the administrative section Of the
new municipal group.
Confident of Success.
In the meantime, the District Gov
ernment officers would continue to oc-
cupy the present building. In this way
as soon as the new building was ready,
in four or five years, the District OFF,
GERS could move In with only one NOV
ing from the present site.
This is problem in municipal
finances to which Mr.. Simmons has
given close study for some time and he
expressed confidence after his confer
ence with Secretary Mellon that his
proposal can be worked out satisfac-
torily.
