Off Discussions, With Cope
land Out of City.

The Serate Subcommittee on Dis
trict Appropriations, headed by Sena-
tor Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma
probably will wait about two weeks
before starting hearings on the 1886
District supply bill.
A few days ago it was thought the
hearings would start within week,
but District officials are busy on legis-
lation for other committees, and Sena-
tor Copeland. Democrat, of New York,
active member of the Subcommittee
on Appropriations, has to leave the
city for a few days.
The District bill passed the House
so early in the session, however. that
the Senate has ample time in which
to take it up and consider proposed
charges.
1t is expected efforts will be made
to restore the items cut out of the bud
get estimates by the House, including
funds to continue character education
in the schools. In this connection the
Committee on Civic Affairs of the
Washington Federation of Churches,
of which Wilbur La Roe. jr.. is chair
man. has protested against the drop
ping of the character education item.
Economy is important, but the right
training of cur children is more i'm
portant, Mr.. La Roe stated.

Plan for Extension to Capitol
Studied by Senate Committee

Several plans for extending the east
part of the Capitol to improve its
architectural appearance we're consid-
cred by a special subcommittee of the
Senate Public Buildings and Grounds
Committee today.
For many years Congress has had
before it proposals to build UP the
east front of the central part of the
building to eliminate the appearance
of lack of support for the dome. David
Lynn, architect of t he Capitol, ex-
planned that the dome has ample
physical support and there is no ques-
ton of safety involved, but from an
artistic standpoint the skirt of the
dome appears to extend over the east
portico.
The committee has before it a bill
of Senator Keyes Republican) of
New Hampshire to authorize $780,
900 to make the extension and to face

the central part with marble to cor
respond with the Senate and House
wings. The central part was built OF
sandstone.
Lynn told the subcommittee that
Thomas u Walter, who designed the
dome rs years ago. intended that the
east front of the old building should
be extended and had prepared plans
for that purpose, but the Civil War
prevented Congress from making an
appropriation.
The subcommittee probably will
reach a decision soon. 1t is presided
over by Senator Walsh of Massa-
chusetts and includes Senator Keyes
and Senator Barbour of New Jersey.
Francis T. Sullivan of the archi-
tectural firm of Wyeth & Sullivan
told the committee he agreed in gen.
eral with the plan recommended by
Mr.. Lynn.

Plan Calls for Separation.

Under one plan it was recommended
that the Police Court and Municipal
Court be placed in separate buildings
in Judiciary Square, north of the Dis
trict Supreme Court Building; the
Juvenile Court and recorder of deeds
in a companion building to the Court
of Appeals, and the administrative de-
partmentS in two symmetrical build
ings on the two northern squares in
the present property. There is ample
space in this scheme. it was said. for
future additions to the administrative
buildings.
An alternative scheme provides that
the administrative units are combined
in one building. extending across John
Marshall place. To compensate fol-
the blocking of this street, Fourth and
Fifth streets we're extended in tbs
study south of Judiciary Square. thus
giving street access to the Admins
tration Building from all four sides.
Best Grouping Suggested.
This scheme" the committee re-
ports, represents the best possibilities
for good architectural grouping and
for good functional planning of the
various units, and it is strongly recon-
mended by the Municipal Architect as
basis for further and more detailed
study"
The committee is headed by Mai
P. A. Hodgson, Assistant Engineer
Commissioner; with Judge Gus A.
Schuldt of the Police Court. William
P. Richards, tax assessor; Judge
George C. Aukam of the Municipal
Court, E. P. Brooke. assistant super

MUNICIPAL CENTER
PLANS CONSIDERED
City Heads Talk Space
Needs of Departments
in New Set-up.

The District Commissioners had be-
fore them today revised plans of pres
ent and future space requirements of
various departments and Offices slated
to be housed in the proposed Municipal
Center recommended b. a special COM
mittee.
The study was made to estimate
the additional space needed in 1910
by which time it is believed the Mu-
nicipal Center will have been com
pleted and the requirements for a city
of 100000 population, the estimated
maximum growth of Washington.
Two schemes are based on the the
ory of selling to the Federal Govern
ment the two lots now owned by the
District along Pennsylvania avenue
This would permit the closing of John
Marshall place and opening up Third
and Fourth streets for less extensive
center than was authorized by Con-
greSS.
