Friends of the District in Congress
FaT0r the Plan.
rhe Proposition TO Reclaim the
south Side of the Great Highway
Between the Botanical Gardens
and the Treasury and Erect There
on Buildings for Government Use-

Practical friends in Congress Of the Dis
trict of Columbia viii. it is said, press the
proposition at the coming session. to dig
Nifty Pennsylvania Avenue by purchasing
the land on the south side between T2ird
and Fifteenth streets and erecting thereon
public buildings as the growing needs Of
the Government demand them.
For long time the sentiment gcuJng
members of Congress in favor of locating
public buildings on the south side of the
Avenue has been gathering force until now
it is said to be practically unanimous.
Every member OF the Senate and House
Committees on the District OF Columbia
believes that the Avenue between the
Capitol and the Treasury should be re-
neved Of the homely objects that now mar
its beauty. There has long been a strong
feeling in Congress that the south side of
the Avenue should be dedicated to public
buildings and beautiful parks.
There has also been a general fear that
the property owners who would be affected
might demand exorbitant prices for their
holdings, but the general answer is that
condemnation proceedings would keep
prices at a fair level.
the new Postoffice building cost consider
ably less than the site of the old Capital
Traction power station on the Avenue,
which was bought at private sale.
The old question OF foundation has been,
It is also said, answered by the new Post
Office building. Leaving out the question
of its architectural acceptability to crit
les, il is one Of the heaviest structures in
the country.
Among the most enthusiastic support
eTs Of the proposition to beautify the Ave
nue. are Senators Lodge, Chandler, Gal
lnger, Mcmillan. Allison, CockrelI, Hale,
and HOar. William A. Clark, who will in
all probability come as a Senator from
Montana, heartily endorses the scheme.
On the House side Mr. Babcock and Mr.
Jenkins stand sponsor for the plan
One Of the buildings which VIII proba-
bly, be erected on the Avenue viii be the
Municipal Building of the District. The
bill for the erection of this building will
be pressed upon the attention of Congress
at the coming session, though it is feared
by some that because OF the fact that this
is TO be a short session. final action on the
Municipal Building will be delayed until
the Fifty-seYenth Congress shall have con-
Vened- There have been four sites sug
gested for the proposed building, one on
the north side and three on the south
side of the Avenue That on the north
side is square SIS. between First and Sec
ond Streets, and between the Avenue and
B Street The other sites suggested are
reservations a and B-the two squares iy-
ing west OF the Botanical Garden-and
squares $50 and 3S1. combined in one. The
latter would include the present site of the
Bijou Theatre and the square adjoining
