Suggestion of President Kauffmann
of COrcOran Gallery Of Art

of COrcOran Gallery of Art.
Mr.. s. H. Kaufman, president of the
board of trustees of the Corcoran Gallery
of Art to whom the District Commission
ers recently referred an invitation to send a
delegate representing the city to congress
of art to be held next month a, Brussels.
Belgium, the District being without funds
with which to defray the expenses of the
delegate, recommends the acceptance of the
invitation if possible. 1t would no doubt
be regarded by the public, says Mr. ksuff-
man, as judicious expenditure ii either
the Executive or the Department of State
would make an appropriation from some
funds at their disposal to meet the ex-
penses OF delegate to the congress. Great
good, Mr.. Kaufman believes, would re-
sult IN the encouragement of true art and
consequent higher standard OF. public
taste in the matter of the proper adorn-
ment Of cities, parks, public buildings and
private premises as well.
The Commissioners today addressed the
following communication to the Secretary
of State in the matter:
Inc commissioners of the District of
Columbia are in receipt of an invitation q
copy of which is herewith inclosed. to send
representative Of the national ca Dital TO
attend convention to be held in the CITY
Of Brussels, September "a t. IS. at which
convention will be considered th,, matter of
the adornment and beautifying Of cities.
THE Commissioners having no way of
sending such a representative, referred the
letter of invitation to the president of the.
Corcoran Gallery of Art, in this city. A
copy OF their letter to Mr.. X au!fmann and
a copy of his reply are also incioseI
Acting on the suggestion made by Mr.
kauffmann, the Commissioners have the
honor to inquire whether it will he possible
for the Department of State to co-operat te
with them in this matter, ami tlefray from
its funds the expenses of a delegate to be
appointed to represent the District of Co.
lumbia al this convention.
LAS it is provided in the Constitution of
the United States that the national capitaI
shall be controllediqby The general govern
ment. and as the igovernment nov owns
more than 50 per cent ofI the prooerty with
in the District, eXefusfv1 Of streets. marks
ETC., it appears quhe Proper that the ma,
tional government Should take an interest
in such movement as the ona here sug-
gested. and lend its aid toward the accom-
plishment of SO worthy, a purpose 1 have
the honor to be, very RESPECTFULLY"
