OBL1TERATTSG TIE M ALA bill was passed
in the House Of Representative on Wednes-
day which, we are informed, requires the cor
poiate Authorities of the city OF Washington to
open SIKH street westfr the CANAL to NJ sine

sioner OF Public Buildings, in accordance with
the plan approved In Nav, 1922, by James
Monroe, President of the United States We
were not aware that President Monroe ever
approved any snch innovation on the plan OF
the Mall, but were under the impression that
the passages through the Mall were restricted
to the four new open. The Mall was designed
for an ample park, and not to be cut up into
small squares. which, after being so reduced,
will, by the passion for Improvement" be
converted into building lots, and the park
gradually obliterated. The new thoroughfare
which it is now proposed to cut through this
Mall, on the line of Sixth street. is only one
hundred and thirty -one yards from the great
thorouPhfare Of Seventh street. and, so far
from eneroaehing further on that beautiful
feature of the city plan, the Mall, it is a pity
that either the Smithsonian buildings or the
unsiehtly Armory were allowed to be placed
on it, The eastern portion, which it Is pro-
posed to divide in two by street, had better
be kept intact as parade ground or champ de
mars, the Armory having already been placed
on the south side OF N.-IatsLigencey
