Having cared for the many duties re-
quired by his attendance upon the Presi-
dent and the White House. Colonel Symons
will then turn his attention to the other
duties of his office, Officer in charge OF
public buildings and grounds Any atten-
ton that Is needed by the Washington
monument, any of the numerous public
buildings and the parks of Washington
must receive his attention. Whenever new
statue Is authorized by Congress for the
national capital Colonel Symons must at
tend to its erection. He must see that the
trees and shrubbery in the parks of the city
are properly cared for. and that the various
monuments in those parks are kept in good
condition
The telegraph service between the White
House and the Capitol comes under his
direction, and whenever there are any i'm
provements contemplated for the filled-in
park near the Long bridge, Colonel Symons
will have to give them his attention be-
fore a spade Of earth can be turned.
One might naturally ask when Colonel
Symons will eat and sleep, so many and so
varied are his duties. But he will doubt
less add brilliancy to the already brilliant
record Of superintendent of public build
ings and grounds for the District of Column
