To the Editor OF The Star:
| am sure the people of the National
capital. as well as the people Of the en-
tire country are highly pleased at the
efforts of The Star TO have Congress do
something to commemorate and perpct-
uate the great achievements of Abraham
Lincoln in a way that will benefit all
the people, something that will be fitting
and durable. AS The Star says, there
are three propositions before Con-
gress. If We cannot get them all ret us
have one. II not a road to Gettysburg,
the scene of Lincon's famous speech,
why not a memorial bridge across tho
Potomac and a grand boulevard TO Mount
Vernon. thus linking the names of Ameri-
cas- two greatest Presidents in memori-
ais that time cannot efface? II is just
fifteen miles from Washington to Mount
Vernon. What grand drive this great
road would afford for all kinds Of vehi-
cles? Thousands of people would come
to Washington just for the sake Of a drivs
over the Lincoln boulevard. with HISTORIC
scenes from the capital to Mount Vernon.
The country will not regret the expendi-
lures for this any of the proposed
plans to honor Lincoln. One hundred
years hence the nation will be glad thar
