To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
As We are casting about for centennial cele-
brations allow mo to remind the good people
of the District Of Columbia that on the 18th
day OF April next, just one hundred years ago
the first boundary stone Of the District OF CO.
lumbia was laid under direction Of three COM
missioners, viz: Gov. Thos. johnson, Hon.
Daniel Carroll of Maryland and DR.. David
Stuart OF Virginia. These gentlemen had en-
tire charge OF the survey and laying out OF the
District The modest little light house mark
Ing the entrance to what was formerly Belle
Haven, situate just south Of the city Of Alex
andria at Jones Point, has the honor of being
the starting point for the survey, which was to
mark out the ten miles square, on which was
to be built the the capital Of the greatest and
most enlightened nation of the world. The
history of the plans Of the city of Washington
the magnificent designs of the young French
engineer-are all familiar to us, but hope
may be pardoned in suggesting to our friends
the fact that at the time L'Enfant was ready
for his work the finances Of the federal gov
ernment were found in u very low condition,
80 low in fact that President Washington was
compelled to call on the states Of Maryland
and Virginia for advances Virginia responded
promptly, and by act of her assembly, passed
1871, advanced to the general government
Sl20, 900, which money was drawn and used by
Gen. Washington in laying out our broad ave-
nues and streets.
Now allow me to suggest that, as a fitting
memorial Of great work and in honor Of the
greatest and noblest Of men, that Congress APP
propriate enough money to commence the build
ing Of the Mt. Vernon avenue. and grand con-
tennial celebration be held April 49, 1891. An
appropriation OF $40, 600 has been expended in
surveying the different routes under supervis-
ion Of the Secretary of War, who detailed Col.
Peter Hams for this special work. 1t is need
less to say it has been well and thoroughly
done. SO let us have the centennial
