To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Your editorials on the Improvement of the
south side of the avenue have afforded me
a great amount of pleasure and interest,
and 1 sincerely trust that Congress will
take broad-gauge view Of the matter and
at least take one step forward at this ses-
sion. Washington is, of course, the city
for all great national celebrations, and
Pennsylvania avenue Is the place in WASH
ington for the same. In this connection
my mind runs back through the Inaugural
ton festivities to the second Inauguration
of President Grant, when L stood as a boy
on a large boulder on the south side of the
avenue alongside of the Botanical Gardens
10 view the parade. call to mind the diff
ficulty 1 had in walking after my long
stand, for the intense cold had fairly numb
ed me. There were others who were really
injured by the cold. as, for instance, the
cadets from Annapolis, and also many
among the lookerson, and so on up to the
present time. On other occasions no boul-
der could be found on which to stand and
freeze and look. Well. It occurred to me
siders think of this, their national city, on
such occasiops!'
Take the afternoon Of March 4, after the
parade, and view the avenue, disfigured
with rough stands and their cheap bunting,
dilapidated one-story shanties alongside of
substantial business houses-not forgetting
the row OF rum mills on the north side
near the Capitol $50 aptly described in THE
full sight 1t presents, How different would
be the scene If Congress should build un
the entire south side. with the buildings ali
harmoniZing. and suppose the entire 'front.'
age of all these great buildings was ar
ranged with covered balconies to accom-
modate the thousands Of visitors The
roadway would be the arena of this vast
amphitheater. The nation would be proud
indeed of its capital city with such a mag
nificent avenue, and Inauguration day
would be looked forward to by hundreds OF
thousands with the greatest of pleasure
and trip to Washington the event of
their lives. OLD READER
