Mr.. Teller Would Preserve the Park
Mr.. Teller, speaking on the library site
said: THAT park stands like every other
reservation of the government. The neigh
borhood is all right for the proposed Ii
brary. / have no objection to that, but
there are plenty of places where a library
can be put by the purchase of land in the
neghborhood of that square, if that is
thought to be the proper place, and thus
prevent the appropriation of this square
and the destruction OF the harmony: of the
streets. Certainly the engineer who laid
out this city never contemplated a public
building at that point, nofldid anybody else
if he had any reference at all toHthe beauty
of the streets. ~" ".
IF this distinguished gentleman proposed
to give to the city of Washington a library
building I am sure the government of the
United States or the District CT Columbia,
or both, can afford To- buy the site without
appropriatng government reservations for
such purpose. home years ago the Sen
ate and the HOUSE of Rfpra sentatives were
| moved by a spirit of great economy to put
the pension office building in Judiciary
retary of war atld fife Secretary Of the
Interior and General Msigs to find place
| on government reservation somewhere In
Washington to locaterHs 1t is my for
tune to have something to do with that
and, under the Imperative order Of Con-
gress, there was nothing else to do but
! to put the building on that square
II felt then. l have ever since felt when
have looked, at Is, as If it WAS tremen-
dous mistalse;& for it, mArred the beauty of
| the city and meyer ought to have been done
We ought to<ha We boaeht>s proper site on
which to erect that building and we ought
| to buy suitable piece of ground now for
this proposed library. building.
Il am satisfied that not only the people of
the city, but the people of the United States
will be entirely satisfied with the expendi-
ture of sufficient amount of money on the
part of the government of the United
States to secure a place for this library. so
| that its location will not mar and destroy
the harmony of the streets. ] do not care
whether the building be placed on the I1nper
or the lower side of Mount Vernon So,Iare ;,
Mr.. Mallory interrupted to INQUIRE the
order of business and the Vice Presjdenr
said the Senate was proceeding by unani-
nous consent.
Laid Aside Without Action,
Mr. Allison said that he would have to
object to the further, consideration OF the
bill, and MFR. Chandler asked permission to
move several minor amendments to the bill,
After this was done the Senate proceeded
to other business and the library bill was
passed over for the present.
