CORNER STONE CONTRIBUTED.
Proposed Plan for Enlarging Scope OF
Jefferson Memorial.

At a meeting of the board of managers OF
the National Society, Sons of the Ameti-
can Revolution, held i'll New York city the
18th instant, it was unanimously agreed TO
offer as a contribution to the Thomas JEFF
ferson memorial proposed to be erected IN
Washington a corner stone for the struc-
ture, which will be properly inscribed and
so placed that 1t Will be exposed to view.
This action on the part of the Sons of
the American Revolution grew out of
suggestion that the memorial building
should have four corner Stones, to be
made conspicuous parts of the memorial
above the foundation lines, one to come
from some of the various patriotic societies
and OF all of them. to symbolic the
general patriotic feature of the memorial:
another to represent the religious, another
to typify the educa tional achievements of
Mr.. jefferson and the fourth, the press.
the freedom of which Jefferson advocated
and believed in.
Many suggestions have been made TO the
officers of the Memorial Association that
the object Of the association be enlarged;
that instead of combining it 10 honoring he
memory of the author of the Declaration
OF independence" it be made to embrace all
the signers.

Mrs Sue F. Chapman of Takoma Park in
July of this year wrote the Commission
ers requesting that sidewalk be laid on
the east side of Oak avenue from Magnolia
avenue to Carroll avenue When the mat
ter was advertised in August number of
objections to the proposed improvement
were received by the District authorities.
The request for the sidewalk has been re-
newed and in recent report on the matter
G. b. Hunt, engineer of highways recon-
mends that the work be done in spite of
the objections. He states that the petit
toner for the walk has improved the 'front.'
age of her premises, and since there is no
walk on the east side of Oak avenue it is
believed that this fact and the public use
to which the walk would be put justify the
construction, especially in view of the very
moderate cost that will accrue to the prop
erty. Commissioner Biddle has approved
the recommendation.
