A Needed Building Suggested.
In conversing about the disposition of
this surplus today. Mr.. w. Scott Towers
made a new suggestion.
"A great mistake was made eight years
ago in the disposal of the surplus remain
ing after all Inaugural expenses were paid,
said Mr.. Towers. II do not wish to be re-
garded criticising the devotion of the
money to charity for that was noble, but
l have always thought that the money
should have been used as the nucleus of a
fund to be devoted to the erection of a
permanent structure in Washington to be
used for all time for inaugural balls ard
conventions, political, civil. religious and
scientific. Something of the sort must be
built some day here. because 1t is imDera-
lively needed. Washington Is becoming the
gathering place for all great public dis
Cussors. My idea does not embrace any
money making scheme, but simply the erec-
tion of great building to be used for the
purposes l have specified and which may
be used by reputable conventions and SIM
liar bodies for the actual cost of the ex-
renses attending such meeting. The city
will receive the benefits in the immense
amounts of money left by the crowds that
" ould attend such gatherings
Every one spoken to about Mr.. Towers
