Cost How the Plans for New ISnlldings Are Eusfinecrcci unci Pvt Tln- ghy Congressmen Tito Xeecl of Proper Restrictions. In many of our cities and large towns the most noticeable structure is the government building. There -are now nearly four hundred such blSilSRngs scattered through the country. The number lias been greatly increased in rveeiit years, and the expenditure for construction has become a large an nual item in the appropriation bills of congress. Tin 1891 the amount expended on this account was more than four million eight hundred thousand dollars, which was one-fifth as much as all the ordi nary expenditures of the government in 1840. This great extension of the sys tem has taken place gradually, out the poficy seems now to be firmly estab- .lished. Within proper limits, says Youth's Companion, it is an extremely reason ble system. In a little town the rent . - J - 1 . l-U;nJV Tim grows, and the post office requires larger quarters a whole floor on the street level in the center of business. The town transforms itself into a city, land and rents increase, and the expense for the hire of a building, which must le conveniently located in the very lieart of the city where rents are highest, becomes large. A still further inc-rease of population, and now other departments of the gov ernment begin to appear in the city. If it is on the coast or on the lakes, a dep uty collector of customs is appointed. The federal courts have business now and then in the city. An internal rev enue office is established, or a branch of the pension or the land office. Under such circumstances it is cheap er for the national government to in vest, once for all, the capital needed to erect buildings than to continue to pay rent. The only question is, at what point it become3 a matter of economy to build rather than to hire. Naturally the people of a growing town are convinced of the necessity for a public building long before cbn jjress can see the matter in the same light. The congressman from the dis trict, anxious to make himself popular, urges the importance of the building on his associates, and sometimes succeeds in obtaining the consent of congress to the project before the building is really needed. Formerly authority to erect buildings was inserted in appropriation bills., and there was a great chance for "log-rolling" that is. Congressman Smith would help on Congressman Jones' scheme if Congressman Jones would help Con gressuian Smith. At present each build ing is authorized by a separate act, but there is still some opportunity for log rolling. All government building is done un der the superintendence and control of the treasury department. First, con gress authorizes the building and appro priates money for the site and the struc ture. Next a lot is selected, approved and purchased. Plans are made by the supervising architect, and the building is erected. The custodian though he may be, and frequently is, the postmas ter; is under the direction of, and re ports to, the secretary of the treasury. The reason for this is, perhaps, that In the early days government buildings were chiefly for the offices of collectors of customs, who are under the secretary of the treasury, and only incidentally for post office use. No doubt the eagerness of communi ties to obtain a costly and ornamental building at the government expense has caused this system to be abused. At tempts have been made to lay down certain conditions which must be satis fied before a town or city shall be deemed to ,need a government building. Thus, it might be required that the k population shall be so many, or the re ceipts of the post office so much, or that there shall be other uses than the post office for such a building. No such restrictions have been made, and ;ier a town is to have been a build ing or not is frequently a matter of favor, or even of accident. Inasmuch as a government rarely takes a backward step in such cases as this, the chances are that ' hund reds of new buildings will be erected during the next few years. Dr. M. J. Davis is a prominent physW cian of Lewis, Cass county, Iowa, and has been actively engaged in the practice of medicine at that place for the past thirty-five years. On the 26th of May, while in Des Moines en route to Chicago, he was suddenly taken with an attack of diarrhoea. Having sold Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for the past seventeen years, and know ing its reliability, he procured a 25 cent liottle, two doses of which completely cured him. The excitement and change of water and diet incident to traveling often produce a diarrhoea. Every one should procure a bottle of this Remedy before leaving home.
