cost of the Commerce Building was 62 p

favorably with $1.06 per cubic foot for
the Supreme Court Building, 10 to 80

BUILDING
ECONOMY IS CITED
Lamont Offers Figures
Showing Value of Con-

The purely economic value, as well as
the esthetic and social benefits de-
rived from the public buildings pro-
gram in the National Capital were
cited by Secretary of Commerce La
mont, speaking this week at the cele-
bration marking the opening OF the
new quarters of the Patent Office in
the new Department of Commerce
Building.
His statement was an answer C
criticisms of the costs Of the new Com
merce Building, but it called to mind
again the economic value OF the whole
Federal building program here as we'll
as the desirability of Development OF
capital on a scale beftting the impor-
tance of the United States.
Cites Real Economy"
There is no extravaganza, but real
economy to the Government and tax
payers in the construction of this build
ing" Secretary of Commerce Lamont
said at the dedication of the Patent
Office section of the new Commerce
Building.
THE building is large, Of course, but
a large building is not necessarily ex-
travagant This one cost 62l2 cents a
cubic foot. l know of no ordinary Of
flee building contracted for during the
period preceding 1929 that was built
for less than 10 to 80 cents a cubic
foot The United States Chamber of
Commerce Building here cost 86 cents.
The new annex to the House of Repre-
Sentatives Office Building cost II cents,
not including the heating plant or cleo
trical fixtures. If the cubic foot price
of the Commerce Building had equaled
the average of the above figures its cost
would have been about $50OO,00O high
er than the actual cost of l7,500,0 600.
Before moving into its present quar-
ters, the department, exclusive OF the
Bureau of Standards. which is housed
in a group of buildings in the suburbs,
occupied all or part of IA buildings
scattered through the city. None was

Dollar and Cents Basis.
"There is no extravaganza, but real
economy to the Government and tax
payers in the construction of this build
ing. Let us see how 1t works out on a
dollar -and-centS basis.
"On the credit side put down 1902 900
square feet of Office and storage space
at 81 225 for the former and 40 cents for
the latter (current rental rates for COM
parable space in Washington. This
gives a total CT 50 2,29l 900.
ON the debit side place the total cost
OF operation and maintenance-interes
on the cost of land and building, the
annual property and income taxes that
an dividual or private corporation own
ing the building would have to pay, also
reserves sufficient to amortiZe the build

The difference between these totals
is S543, ,633. an annual profit sufficient
to repay the entire cost Ct the building

ANTIQUES EXHIBITION
CALLED A SUCCESS.
Sales at New York Exposition Are
Principally of Small
Objects.
BY CHARLES MESSER STOW

NEW YORK, April 16.-After a
week of wandering through the aisles
Of the Grand Central Palace, where
the Fourth International Antiques
Exposition has been going on, I have
come to have a higher regard for that
estimable virtue courage.
1t took courage for the exhibitors to
spend the necessary money to rent
space, bring their stock and arrange
their displays Their courage IN
preparing to face an uncertain public
is what has made the show a success.
BY success 1 mean good attendance
and at least enough sales to pay ex-
penses.
Certain facts about the exhibition
seem to me worthy of comment. Of
the 128 names of exhibitors in the
catalogue CT the exposition just so. or
approximately 40 per cent, are from
cut Of town. Furthermore, Of these
are from outside the boundaries of
the United States 3 from England. 2
from Canada. This, l think, makes
the show international in every sense.
Analysis of the exhibitors from out
Of town by States shows that IL came
from Pennsylvania, 10 from New York.
Z from Massachusetts, from New
Jersey, 2 from Illinois, from Delaware.
2 from Connecticut and l each from
Indiana, Virginia, District Of Columbia.
South Carolina and New Hampshire.
The prophecy that the show would
be in the nature of a glorifed fair
largely came true. The sales made
were mostly of small objects and of
these pressed glass was well in the
front. Dealers, sensing the fact that
collecting pattern glass is a fad just
now, brought large quantities of this
kind cf ware. Prints, china, pewter
and household utensils also were in
demand.

were parked around the field in
Potomac Park during the year.
Archery drew 5400 participants and
l8,300 spectators. CroQuet was re-

as dancing and games, was de-

grand master councillor Of the
Order of De Molay, in an ad-
dress at the tomb of George

More than 1000 members of

Mr.. Reed said:
"There is too much diSpOsi-

man, riding a white horse and
carrying the burden of affairs
of state on his shoulders. We
forget that Washington was
also a young man, fond Of
sports, dancing and the good
times Of his day."
