A nonfireproof building of the same capacity will cost $55,000. Respectfully, J. B. REYNOLDS, Acting Secretary. The CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND Grounds, United States Senate. COMPLETING PEDIMENT OF HOUSE WING OF CAPITOL BY PLACING STATUARY THEREON. APRIL 9, 1908.-Ordered to be printed. Mr. WETMORE, from the Committee on the Library, submitted the following REPORT. [To accompany H. R. 17983.] The Committee on the Library, to whom was referred the bill (H. R. 17983) for completing the pediment of the House wing of the Capitol, have had the same under consideration and report it back without amendment. In reporting this bill favorably on February 26, 1908 (H. Rept. No. 1090, 60th Cong., 1st sess.), the Committee on the Library of the House of Representatives says: The Senate pediment was decorated in 1862 by appropriate groups of allegorical statuary, and it was intended at that time to place on the corresponding pediment above the east portico of the House of Representatives a similar group representative of our history and life, but this intention has never been carried out. The work provided for by the bill is necessary to the completion and beauty of the Capitol building. SR-60-1-Vol 2-31 O RESURVEY OF CERTAIN TOWNSHIPS IN COLORADO. APRIL 9, 1908.-Ordered to be printed. Mr. CLARK, of Wyoming, from the Committee on Public Lands, submitted the following REPORT. [To accompany S. 6033.] The Committee on Public Lands, to whom was referred the bill (S. 6033) to provide for the resurvey of certain townships in Colorado, having had the same under consideration, beg leave to submit the following report, and recommend that the bill do pass as amended. Attention is invited to the letter from the Secretary of the Interior, which is attached hereto and made a part of this report, in which he suggests certain amendments to the bill, which your committee have followed in reporting the same. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, SIR: I have, by your reference for the views of this Department, a copy of Senate bill No. 6033, entitled "A bill to provide for the resurvey of certain townships in Colorado," specifying 103 townships. In reporting upon the necessity for these resurveys I have the honor to state that there is nothing of record in this Department upon which to base an opinion except the date of the original surveys, which averages twenty-four years ago, so that it is presumed that the loose methods which prevailed at that period, when field examinations were not made, and the ravages made by the elements since the lines were established, would suffice to render a resurvey desirable. I have to report, however, that seven of the townships named therein are as yet unsurveyed, and seven others have been surveyed since 1900, and these latter doubtless sufficiently well executed as not to require a resurvey. The recently surveyed townships are: T. 6 S., Rs. 102, 103, and 104 W.; T. 7 S., Rs. 101, 103, and 104 W.; T. 8 S., R. 104 W. The unsurveyed townships (one of which, T. 12 S., R. 89 W., is under contract) are as follows, and should be eliminated, as applications will probably be made by settlers whenever the surveys are needed for entry: T. 2 S., R. 103 W.; T. 12 S., Rs. 89, 90, 91, and 92 W.; T. 14 S., R. 90 W.; T. 15 S., R. 88 W. When the above-named townships are eliminated, the lands to be resurveyed will be as follows: Township nine north, of ranges eighty-six, eighty-seven, eighty-eight, and eightynine; township eight north, of ranges eighty-six, eighty-seven, eighty-eight, and |
