Additional Work in Wash
ington.

sideration to several additional projects
related to the general Federal building

One proposal being considered Is for
q building, estimated to cost about
$3,O0O,0 900, for the area between Penn
sylvania avenue and Sixth and Seventh
streets, known as the apex Of the Penn
sylvania avenue Mall triangle. It may
be used for the Coast Guard or possibly
some other Federal activity.
Another proposal is for a central
heating plant for the Triangle group Of
buildings, estimated to cost $4,000, 900,
and third question under considera-
ton is to increase the limit Of cost on
the building for the Department of
Agriculture to $12,S00, 900. The present
limit Of cost on this building Is S.
100000.
These suggestions probably win be
considered by the Public Buildings
