Don't Cut Down Observatory Hill.
To the Editor of THE EveNrvo QrAu.


To the Editor Of The EVENING STAB:
see by the papers that It is proposed to cut
down Observatory hill for the purpose Of filling
up the Potomac fats A strong protest, Mr..
Editor, ought to be raised against such proceed
Ing, and hope that the local press and inf1uen-
1al citizens will come to the rescue. Observatory
hill, clothed with verdure and shrubbery, is even
now attractive point, particularly as viewed
from the water and the Long bridge, but since q
grand riverside park Is in contemplation, 1t would
be positive vandalism to level It. 1t should by all
means be preserved as picturesque point. and In
fact be made the feature OF the new park, whence
visitors, on foot or In carriages, may enjoy view
OF our garden city and the river What the
Pinciap hill Is for Rome this hill, crowned with
statues and a Belvidere. could be made for WASH
