of the most valuable in tho city, and in pecuniary

favor among citizens As the committees Of the
Houses of Congress for the District Of Columbia have as
am informed come to agreement to recommend the
extension Of the Capitol grounds it is good time
think, to call their attention to the plan above named
Of extending and providing for the gradual opening and
gnding of the This tan be done without
much Inconvenience to any one, the country il so

Another thing Congress ought to do namely, purchase
site for Presidents summer residence, with ample
grounds around it, There many beautiful sites for
such residence upon the surrounding hills to the north
and northeast OF the city, where mansion could be
placed that would overlook the whole city and have IN
extended view down the river to Fort Washington and
Mount Vernon Let such site be secured ne, and the
mansion commenced at LATRODE.
