Marking Historical Spots.

In debating the form of report to be
made by the Commissioners upon an
amendment intended to be introduced by
Senator Gallinger to provide for the proper
marking OF historical spots in the District
Of Columbia, Engineer Commissioners Bid
die has indicated that he and his colleagues
are in favor of the plan. Commissioner
Biddle states that members of the G. A. r.
have stated that there are about 200 places
in the District of Columbia that should be
marked, and further that $40, 600 would be
necessary to do 1t. Instead of simply ap-
propriating an amount of money sufficient
to do the whole of the work the Engineer
Commissioner recommends that Congress
make appropriation of $500 this year
and continue with similar allowances in
following years until all historical spots
have been designated by proper tablets.
