District to Prepare Plans.
The question as to when the Dis
trlct will ask for funds to build the
new structure is being studied in the
overall examination of all projects
In Gen. Young's program for l94s-
1852, it was explained.
In his application to the Federal
Works Agency for planning money,
Gen. Young indicated the inten-
tion OF the District to prepare its
own specifications. Whether this
can be done by the ONCE of the
Municipal Architect remains to be
decided, Col. Schurm explained.
when further study works out the
priority Of projects, and how much
the new Municipal Architect Merle
Coe can handle in his Office. Some
planning might have to be sent to
private architectural firms, 1t was
indicated, II the architects office be-
comes overloaded.

To Demolish Old Buildings.
The project for the west admin
istration building will include demo-
lition of all old buildings on the
site. These include several historic
structures, including an old brick
building formerly used as the Dis
trict Building and later as police
headquarters. Occupants of present
buildings include the Health De-
partment tuberculosis clinic, a nurs-
ing bureau and many others. Much
OF the space Is used by the District
government for storage.
The new construction job also will
include completion of a large cafe
terra for both administration build
ings. Space for this already has
been provided in a basement under
the plaza, which was built when the
east building was erected. This
underground cafeteria space, To-
Gated between the sites for the east
and west buildings, now is used for
storage and is unfinished.
The east administration building
was completed in 1899. 1t has been
occupied by parts of the District
government, but also by several
Federal agencies. The presence of
these, including Veterans Admin
istration units, has crowded facilities
of the District government which

to collect the money unless she
voluntarily gives it to you. You
have had the privilege of living
there without cost during these
