CRmCISES THE SITEFOR INTERIOR BUILDING

Representative Cooper Tries to HaveItem for Construction Stricken

From House Bill.

Declares Proposed Location InappronriatpftTld Wnf TTamtftnvr WH1,

Improvement Plan.

Preceding an attempt to strike fromthe sundry civil bill the appropriationof $1,500,000 for the new Departmentof the Interior building. RepresentativeCooper of Wisconsin late yesterdayafternoon severely criticised thelocation of the proposed building in thesquare bounded by E and F streets,18th and 19th streets northwest. Theensuing discussion brought from severalmembers a variety of comment inthe general proposition of publicbuilding sites in the District of Columbia,but the Cooper amendment wasvoted down."This is a most extraordinary locationfor tbe Interior Department," said

Mr. Cooper. "It is not at all in har|mony with the plan for the improve!ment of the city of Washington andutterly inappropriate as a site for thisdepartment."Here is the department to which

members are constantly required to/CI. it IB JJI upOSCU lO pifttc I

this new building: at about as inaccessible,inconvenient a point as couldwell be found. The location will begood for the street car companies, butvery inconvenient for the members ofthe Senate and House. Now, years agothe government condemned and purchased,and has ever since owned, thesquare on which Poli's Theater is located,and all the Bquares between thatsquare and the Mall. These squaresare unsurpassed as building sites.

Squares Bought for Buildings."The government bought them for

the purpose, as the law expressly provided,of erecting on them three buildings.onefor the Department of Justice,one for the Department of theInterior and one for the Departmentof State. For years all of these buildingshave been greatly needed, and todayall are greatly needed."The government is expending $600,000

a year, perhaps a little more, forrentals for public buildings in the cityof Washington. Six hundred thousanddollars a year is 3 per cent on$30,000,000. The government can borIrow money at 3 per cent and less.Plans were completed for the construcItion of these three department build|ings on those squares, at a total cost ofonly $8,000,000; but none of thesebuildings has been erected, and to myamazement, and I think it must be tothe amazement of a large majorityof the membership of the House, wefind it now proposed that one of themshall be constructed on a site two orthree blocks west of the building ofthe State, War and Navy departments.a site remote, inconvenient, awkwardto reach, and which was original-ly bought as a site for a hall of records."Baps Justice Department Quarters.Mr. Cooper said he was convinced

that there is a well established industryin this city "having for its primeobject the renting of privately con-structed buildings to the governmentof the United States." He also men-tioned the fact that trie government

haa altes and plans for the Departmentof Justice, and yet that department ishoused In an Inconvenient and inaccessibledwelling 6n K street."If the Department of Justice were

located at Pennsylvania avenue and15th street and the other buildingswere located on the square toWard theMail, in accordance with the plan forthe Improvement of Washington, notonly would the effect be beautiful, butthe public convenience would also bewell served."

Renting Profit Shared Alike.uepresentative Fitzgerald, in cnarge

of the sundry civil bill, called attentionto the fact that the original authorizationfor the new Department ofInterior building was contained in thepublic building act of 1913, and that hehad opposed it, but now that the buildingwag authorized it had to be appropriatedfor. He said he had protestedto President Taft against the bill.Mr. Fitzgerald said that President

Taft, in reply to his protest, had said:"There are so many things in the billof peculiar benefit to Washington thatI cannot forego an opportunity to havethem authorized."Mr. Fitzgerald also said that the profit

in renting government buildings isshared by the government as well as bythe real estate man, as the Treasuryhas been able to escape paying out largesums for large and monumental buildingswith .a permanent annual charge.

Amendment Is Voted Down.At the end of the discussion. RepresentativeCooper offered an amendment

to strike the item for the Departmentof the Interior from the sundry civilbill, but it was voted down.Representative Gillett of MassachusetsOffered an amendment to the sundrycivil bill yesterday afternoon which

would have taken $9,000,000 from thebill. He proposed to strike out all ofthe public buildings items except those
