Speed Up the Job

A little less than year ago the Public Works Ad-
instration transferred to the National Park Service
one hundred thousand dollars to pay for remodeng of
the old Patent Office Building in order to permit the
widening of Street Northwest between Seventh and
Ninth Streets.
THE MONEY LIES IDLE IN THE TREASURY;
THE BUILDING IS UNTOUCHED, THE DANGEROUS
"JOG" IN F STREET REMAINS AS A MENACE TO
TRAFFIC AND MANY USEFUL JOBS WHICH
COULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED REMAIN NON
EXISTENT.
Without being desrous of criticsng those in charge
of the project it would certainly that period Of
little short of year would be sufficient to obtain
ACTION.
Il is reported that bids on the remodeling job
asked but that they exceeded the amount allotted by the
Public Works Administration and therefore the contract
could not be let
That is an unfortunate occurrence, but eUen this
condition should not be permitted to cause longer
CleLav in this project JUtich is of tremendous I'M
pOrtance to the citizens and business interests OF
the community.
Unless additional funds can be obtained to carry out
the Federal Governments share OF the project and IN
fairness to the officials in CHARGE it should be said that
thew are working toward this end bids should be
asked and an effort made to bring them within the fund
already available.
Washngtonians had striven for years to eliminate
from their shopping section the absurd condition Gre
ated by the deviation of Street from its straight line
and the narrowing of the street which made It's use Tor
two-way traffic impossible.
With the aid of The Washington Times they won that
fight wear ago when the Federal allotment was made
and the District announced that ready to proceed
with the street widening when the United States altered
