1t seems to me at times as though the
city had been set down in q veritable

city in the world has
Beauty of Private Homes.
Mr.. Bryce spoke of the beauty also OF
the private residences found in Washing
ton, causing amusement by pointing out
"a certain diversity in style of architec-
ture." This variety, he declared. he
found pleasing and certainly preferable to
The architects seem to have taken from
all periods of history in designing the
dwellings here, he said.
Two of the public buildings Mr.. Bryce
characterized as among the most beauti-
full of their kind in the world, the Unior
station and the Pan-American Unior
building.
Calling Rock Creek Park one of the
most beautiful he had ever seen, Mr..
Bryce urged on the board the need OF
preserving the landscape beauty Of the
entrances to the park. He referred to
the erection of a group of houses at the
entrance from Mount Pleasant, along the
road leading to Pierces mill, declaring
that it spoiled the outlook for the thou
sands of visitors to the park. The houses.
he said. could have been placed else
where with advantage to the city. Every
one. he said, admired the new Connect
cut avenue bridge, which is a striking OBJ
Ject. The view to the north of this
bridge is most beautiful. Near the south
ern approach of the bridge have been
erected two large apartment houses, de-
stroy1ng the landscape. Mr.. Bryce de-
ciared the city should have purchased
this land and made park Of it.
A driveway from Rock Creek Park
along the banks of Rock creek to the
Potomac Ter, said Mr. Bryce, is most
desic->ole. In spite of the fact that the
valley has been heaped in many places
with rubbish. he said there is still time
to Mount Vernon also is much to be de-
sired, he said, and a national appropria-
ton might well be made for it. Mr.. Bryce
said there was at present fine system
of highways leading to the north and
west out of Washington. What was
needed, he said. is a system of cross
roads leading from east to west, con-
Meeting these present highways.
May Reach Line in Twenty Years
The city in it's rapid growth, he said
may reach the District line within the
next twenty years. The banks of Rock
creek should be preserved as a park
for a distance of five or six miles
from the city The creek. he said, is
unique. no other capital city having such
beautiful stream flowing through its
center.
You cannot do too much for Washing
ton, said Mr.. Bryce. Il am told that
the city is governed by men from Osh-
kosh. Kalamazoo and other far places
who prefer to appropriate money for
their own towns rather than for Washing
ton. But would say to them that Wash
ington belongs to the whole country, and
deserves the support of the whole coun-
try.
ITO transients like myself, it is a great
pleasure and blessing to have such a
beautiful city in which to live"
