DECISION A COMPROMISE
Vcxed Question Settled by Executive

Out of Line.

A decision OF President Roosevelt set
ties the much agitated question as TO
the site Of the contemplated Department
Of Agriculture building
The board of architects insisted upon
TIE location of this building on the north
side OF the Mall Representative Wads-
worth, chairman of the House Commit
tee on Agriculture, and Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson were equally desir-
Gus that the building should 90 on the
south side of the Mali They wanted ii

mental building. which IS on the south
line of the Mall plan Of George Wash
ingtOn.
Monument Out of Line.
The whole trouble as to the location
OF this and other contemplated build
ings lies in the fact that the Washing
ton Monument was not built in line
with the center of the Washington Mall.
Neither George Washington nor Len
FAINT is responsible. When they plan
ned the Mall, no allowance was made
for monument for a man then alive,
and which should eventually prove an
architectural pivot.
The Monument being 100 feet or there
abouts, south of the medium line of the
Washington Mall, has required the shift
ing of the Mall boundaries generally to-
ward the south. 1t was for this reason
that the architects insisted upon placing
the new agricultural building on the
north side.
Secretary Wilson's idea was to pre-
serve the outlines OF the original Mall.
which would permit the new building 10
be placed on the site of the old. The
matter was. referred to the President.
whose decision which is final, is in the
nature Of compromise.
Flush With B Street.
By his decision the new building will
be placed $50 feet south Of the present
building. Being sixty feet deep. ii will
extend flush to- B Street southwest
This will mean, in the opinion OF
those high IN authority in the Agricul-
tural Department. that at a no very dis
tant date Il will be necessary TO con-
denim private property fronting on 3
Street southwest for the use Of the de-
partment.
A disadvantage in the present arrange
mcnt is that the Smithsonian Institution
viii be out of the line of the Mall build
ings, projecting some 100 feet into the
Sg9-foot vista. This will cause the speedy
condemnation of the Smithsonian build
ing and its demolition, TO be replaced by
a new building on the lines OF the new
Mall. having the Washington Monument
as a central axis.
