The conclusion is ! the [ resistible that authorizations for ; Say uiblic buildings in these small com-! nullities are too frequently dictated j >v local reasons and without regard : . 6 the best interests of the govern- ft hent. The most serious aspect is his: The annual operation and mainenance of these buildings impose on ho treasury a permanent and condantly Increasing burden. "Common sense and business lu'dgment would seem to demand that t.i uctureS for tho transaction of government business should be author^ zed only In localities where they are Imperatively needed, and that bulldogs should not be erected where no public necessity can bo shown. This result can best be accomplished by livorclng the public-building question From nil local or political considerations and authorizing no public buildings until a thorough and intelligent investigation of each proposed building or project has been made to this department and a full report thereon has been submitted to Congress, if such reports were followed by the introduction and passago of separate measures to cover each proposed building project the abuses and evils of the omnibus hill method would be eradicated." Wants Extension. The federal war risk insurance bureau, Mr. McAdoo says, should bo extended a year to September 2.

The premlumua received 9 amounted to $3.142-.G25. 8 Tn speaking of customs revenue?, which increased about 53,4 00,000 over the previous year, the secretary says the European conflict is still interfering with such receipts. "Boforo the breaking out of the European war," says the report, "the amount of the collections indicated clearly that under normal conditions the present tariff will produce all the I revenue it was estimated It v.-ould ' produce at the time It was drawn, and since the war receipts under the j tariff bil1 have been all that, could bo I expected under the present condi- I tlons."
