BUILDING PLANS
BEING PUSHED
Two New Contracts Let for
New Interior Department
Structure.

With two important new contracts
let, rapid progress now Is being mace
on the preliminary stages OF the new
Interior Department Building, Eight
eenth, Nineteenth, c and E streets.
The Riley Engineering and Drill
ing Co. of New York City has been
awarded contract for boring and test
pits, to determine the nature Of the
subsoil, to design the foundations of
the building.
Waddy B. Wood, local architect,
who designed the building, completed
the cabinet sketches" and had
started working drawings, has been
given a new contract as consulting
architect" for the building.
Drawings Rushed.
Work is being rushed on the work.
ing drawings, in the office OF the
public works branch, procurement di-
vision, Treasury Department, which
will complete these plans and super
wise construction of the building.
W. E. Reynolds, assistant director
of procurement, said he was putting
to work on the working drawings as
many men as possible so as to rush
these drawings to completion.
Officials of the Treasury and In
terror Departments are cooperating
in the program of developing details
of the building, and it is expected
rapid progress may be made toward
letting of other contracts.
Already the Government has OBJ
tanned more than 80 per cent of the
land in the site for the new build
ing. The southern half of the site,
between c and D streets, is owned
by the Government and cleared of
buildings.
Many Buildings Remain.
Nearly all land in the other block,
between D and E streets, has been
purchased, but many buildings yet
remain standing. Condemnation pro-
ceedings have been instituted in
court to take the remaining property
by condemnation, from three prop
erty owners: Frank K. Logan of the
Logan Garage, on E street between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets;
Jacob Cohen, who owns residential
property on both Eighteenth and on
E streets; and the Potomac Electric
Power Co., whose substation Is To-
Gated on an alley in the rear of the
Logan Garage.
An important decision yet to be
made by the Treasury is whether the
next contract shall be for wrecking
old buildings on the northern square,
for wrecking these old structures and
digging the foundations, or whether,
in the interest of speed and unfit
cation of contracts, the whole job,
including wrecking, excavation, foun-
dations and superstructure shall be
thrown into one big contract.
May Combine All Jobs.
Some officials are known to feel
that greater efficiency could be
obtained by combining all of these
jobs in one, and letting it out in one
contract to general contractor.
This general contractor thus could
be getting his steel fabricated and
other preliminary work done while
proceeding with the wrecking and
foundations.
Among the buildings still standing
the largest are probably the Frazee-
Potomac Laundry, which is moving
elsewhere, and the so-called "Archi-
tects' Building" occupied by Gov-
ernment agencies.
