There has been a plan for several years recognize the executLve departments of the federal government to take the whole thing apart and put It together again different. But it seems to be getting nowhere. One of the details of the plan la to abolish the Department of the Interior and establish in Its place a De partment of Public Works. In which would be grouied the constructive activities of the various departments, the other activities of the department to be transferred as seems fitting. The plan has been worked out to the last detail. The American Engineering council of New York U getting Impatient for action. The council, composed of federated engineering societies throughout the country, makes public its official view that the Department of the Interior is an "outworn organization, which, owing to the employment of methods current In early days, is annually wasting millions of dollars." Engineers of international prominence In the council are urging that the department be abolished. They suggest that the supervision of public works be In one group, to eliminate duplication, and that the various bureaus and subagencies be regrouped into other departments. At present tlie secretary of the Interior does everything, the council says, "from running hospitals, ao institution for the deaf and a university, to keeping the Indians sober." In order to condu.1 its campaign more effectively the council has organized a congress of engineers to meet annually In Washington, together with an administrative board and an executive committee. The president of the council is former Gov. James Hart-nes- s of Vermont, who hopes that ths engineers can give the government technical advice at all times. "Because of the Teapot Dome investigation Interest In the administration of the public lands has been heightened." Mr. Hartness said. "Under the engineering plan of reorganization nine of the ten agencies having public land functions would be consolidated under one departmental authority, so that these closely related matters may have a common Jurisdiction and not be distributed among three federal department, as at The first meetlns of the new istrative board will be held In .

A detailed cost ascertainment, data for which is being checked, arranged and tabulated, will be ready with in a few months, he said, adding that no readjustment of postage rates or fees for special services could be made intelligently until this report had been concluded. Keaajustment of salaries, he declared, should not be made until It Is possible to determine their probable effect on postage rates. C.

New to Chairman Grist of the post office committee of the house In a letter made public. Mr. New pointed out that there are more than fifty postal bills now pending In congress and it was probable a readjustment for the whole service along lines provided in the bills would Involve an increase annually of In addition, he said, there are a number of bills proposing a reduction of postage rates. Certain classes of employees are not provided for In the bills, Mr. New said, and any readjustment of salaries must necessarily include the whole postal establishment. Consideration of the proposals for Increases as wholly separate from the fiscal condition of the Post Office department seemed to him impracticable and an increased expenditure approaching that Involved would render one of two things inevitable either to increase the rates of postage or to meet it as other expenses are met, by draft on the general treasury.
