City Heads Likely to Make
Request for $4,600,000
This Week.
PREPARED TO LAUNCH
FIRST UNIT IN so DAYS
Gotwals Cites Ickes' Disappoint-
ment Over Slow Pace in
Starting Projects.

Another appeal for early action cn
request for grant of $4,000 900 Of
public works funds to construct the
center, probably will be filed with the
public works administration this week
by the District Commissioners.
Engineer Commissioner Gotwals Ie-
vealed last night that the new appeal
IS contemplated in view of the recent
announcement of Public Works Admin
lstrator 1ckeS that municipalities al
ready granted public works funds have
been slow in initiating employment
creating projects, much to his dis
appointment.
The District, however, Commissioner
GotWals said. can begin actual con-
struction of the courts building, the first
unit in the center, within 80 to 60
days, and provide work for 1000 WASH
ington men year until its compile
ton. Plans for the building have been
prepared, and need only slight modi-
flcation.
Other Agencies Poorly Housed
Commissioner Gotwals, therefore,
feels that if Mr.. Ickes is looking fer
projects to finance on which he will
get immediate action. he cannot over
look the Districts plea for municipal
center funds.
Moreover, the Engineer Commissioner
emphasized the urgent need of the
municipal government for more modern
and adequate accommodations for the
courts and other agencies now poorly
housed and widely scattered.
The initial unit, which has been ap-
proved by Congress but never built,
would house the Police, Municipal and
Juvenile Courts. the Police Department
and the office of the Recorder of Deeds
The pressing need for suitable accom-
modationS for the courts and the Police
Department is the primary cause Of the
activities of the Commissioners in seek
ing Federal funds for the project. The
fact that it will create work for the
unemployed is another reason.
S6.600,0OO Already Spent.
The courts building was authorized
by Congress at a cost of S5,400,000.
Only about $500 900 was made available
for beginning construction, but the Dis
tricts financial situation was such that
it was found inadvisabie to 60 ahead
with the building with District fund.
Already the District has spent about
Sc 600, 900 on the project. about 100000
for the plans and the balance for tn
four-square site. Except for two lot
now in condemnation, the entire S
has been acquired.
The 1885 District budget, which w.
go to the Budget Bureau this week, IL
was said. will not contain any items for
the municipal center, because Of the
hope of the Commissioners that the
Public Works Administration will pro-
vide the funds for starting work on the
courts building.
