BEAUTY OF WASHINGTON.
Theme Emphasized by Committee
of Civic Improvement Association.

The committee on street decorations and
civic improvement held an anniversary
meeting last Monday night at its rooms.
| 1904 G. street northwest. and after very
| friendly gathering of the members, the
guest of the evening. Mr.. Gutzon Bor-
4 glum. sculptor. of New York. who is visiting
| the city for few days. was introduced,
ang gave an account of the working differ
ent art societies of New York along the
! line of their best endeavors. He also drew
a parallel and mentioned what he thought
might we'll be accomplished here at the
National capital with some degree Of sue
cess.
Mr. Borglum was of the opinion that
/ Washington would soon become the great
est art center in the world. even equaling
| Paris, and in years to come SURPRISING
that city. He further remarked that
people came to this city to see and learn.
to visit and carry away with them to their
/ homes the best ideas of art along with
| their recollections of the other many at
| ractions OF the National capital He eX-
pressed the opinion that while all the
| monuments OF Washington are not of the
I highest order they served a very good
| purpose for day and time. and would
surely lead to higher and better Things In
! the future.
| Mr. Henry Mosher spoke of the many
| BENEFITS 10 be derived from handsome
| monuments. and especially buildings, pri-
vate and public, which had been and
doubtless will be erected in Washington
| in the near future. He spoke particularly
of the beneficial effect that the Congress
sional Library had upon the residents Of
| Washington. as we'll as the visitors. for
he remarked. the impression of the combi-
nation of pleasing colofs. together with
the many mural paintings. notices and
mosacs, with the monumental appearance
of the exterior. had undoubtedly a great
and lasting effect upon the visitor. He
expressed a hope that the government
| would soon add to this form Of beautify-
| ing our city.
| Mr.. +. I. Bates spoke of the advantages
| to the business man OF cooperating with
| the artists, sculptors and architects to-
ward beautifying the city and helping
make the life and their work easy of ac-
! cOmplishment; for, as he put ii. the busi-
ness man has at heart the love of the
| city's growth more than is generally sup
! posed, and the many art features
and many beautiful government and pri-
| vate buildings help to bring the visitor
and trade to our city.
| The chairman. Mr.. Frederick ID. Owen
! voiced the sentiment of the other MEM
bers that every citizen can help by build
| ing beautiful homes. and keeping them
well appearing in front. so that all the
! streets and avenues will be attractre-by
/ so doing becoming member of the So
called committee of the whole for the up
building nf more beautiful Washington.
