TUNNELS STUDIED
FOR u. S. BUILDINGS
Plans to Connect Triangle Struc.
lures Considered by Parks
Service.

Studies are under way in the Nation
al Park Service, it was learned today.
to connect the buildings in the tri-
angle by series of tunnels.
Charles A. Peters, jr., assistant d.
rector in charge of public buildings
here, said the Government is consid-
ering such program, with view to
reducing maintenance costs and en-
abhng the workers to pass from one
building to another more conven-
iently. 1t will be placed in effect as
soon as necessary studies are COM
pleted and funds can be secured.
The Government is planning tun-
mel under Fourteenth street, from the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing to
the proposed new extension, to be con-
structed shortly on the east side Of
that thoroughfare. Provision also has
been made for tunnel under Rawlins
Square to connect the old Interior
Building with the new structure now
under way to the south.
If the tunnel program is actively
launched, the Commerce and Labor
Buildings would thus be linked, as
would the new Post Office Department
with the Justice or Internal Revenue
Building. Carrying the plan east
ward, the revenue structure and the
Justice Department would be con-
nected, as would Justice and the
Archives Building. Later the Apex
Building, for which funds have been
provided, probably would be linked to
the Archives Building.

said to have lost or are about to lose

tanned in a report based on survey
made recently by a committee of the
federation.
The dismissal, or pending dismissal
of the Federal workers, it was said,
is a result of the Supreme Court

AWARD APPROVAL ASKED

Heads to Sanction Letting of
Job to James Baird Co.

Bureau of Public Roads officials
we're asked today by Engineer Com
missioner Dan I. Sultan to approve an
award for the Michigan avenue via
duct contract to the James Baird Co.,
which submitted the lowest bid for
both viaduct and approaches.
The Baird Co. offered to do the
work for s186,192 but was second low
for building the viaduct as a separate
unit, the John w. Cowper Co. being
low in that case, but second to the
Baird Co. on the project as a whole.
Col. Sultan decided the District had
ample funds for the whole project
out of a Federal grant for grade-cross-
ing elimination and District funds and
therefore that the project should be
awarded as one Job.
