Resetting Base of Dupont Statue.

The bronze statue of Admiral Dupont in
Dupont Circle has been taken temporarily
from its pedestal by order of the super
intendent of public buildings and grounds,
in order that the base may be reset more
firmly. The engineers Of the office OF the
superintendent decided that it would be
safer to take this precaution. The same
base will be used and the statue re-
placed.
