Excerpt from Central Heating, Lighting, and Power Plant on the Mall, in Washington, D. C: Hearings Before the Committee on the Library, United States Senate, Sixty-Fourth Congress, First Session on S. J. Res. 92 The chairman. I would like to inquire, preliminarily, have any of you gentlemen thought this matter out far enough to have any definite ideas concerning where that plant that is to furnish this heat, power, and light could be placed? Mr. Cass gilbert. I am only here as representing the Commission of Fine Arts. Mr. Jennings asked me if I had studied it. I will say that the matter has not come before the Commission of Fine Arts. The chairman. That is the gist Of it, for everybody is agreed that we do not want the plant there. It is unsightly in itself, and mars the landscape and destroys the beauty of the whole situation, and yet a public building has got to have heat and light.

That building is being constructed with a heating plant. The Chairman. If this is to be supplied to it, why should it be constructed? Mr. Wetmore. Some have heating and some have heating electric generating plants--the buildings that are intended to be taken care of by this plant under the original legislation. All have their heating plant in and some have electric generating plants. The new Interior Department building is being built with a heating plant, but no generating plant. The Chairman. And some get supplied bv the Potomac Power Co.? Mr. Wetmore. Some from the Potomac and some manufacture it themselves. This plant was not authorized because of an emergency. It was authorized because of commercial savings that could be made. The Chairman. I understand that, but there will be no commercial saving if the Government is going on erecting a new building like the new Department of the Interior. In the new building there will be no saving. Mr. Wetmobe. But this is merely a plant not intended to be operated except in the case of emergency. The Chairman. If the central heating and power plant is constructed, it will be constructed with duplicate arrangements of every description, so that if one part fails the other part can operate, can it not? Mr. Wetmore. Certainly. The Chairman. Then why should you have a triplicate arrangement in the shape of separate powers in the separate buildings? Mr. Wetmore. I might answer that by saying that that is the very thing that was done here at the Capitol.
