Commerce being housed with other
Commerce bureaus in the new building.
In answer to an inquiry, secretary
Lamont made the following statement:
II am sure there is no basis for the
rumor to the effect that the United
States Patent Office may not be re-

new building is laid out and arranged
for the Patent ONCE work--and with
special reference to ease and expedlting
the work throughout the office.
If any changes were contemplated,
a complete Encouragement would be
necessary, and have heard nothing
