CORNER STONE FOUND.
Original Landmarks of District
Comes to Light.

The original corner stone OF the Dis
trict of Columbia, which was laid with
pomp and ceremony on April Is, 1921,
has again been brought TO light. II is
located beneath n sea wall IN front Of
Jones' Point lighthouse. on the Potomac
below Alexandria 1t remained there for
seventy years exposed to the weather,
until in 1861 it was concealed by the
construction of the sea wall around the
lighthouse.
The United States Engineer Corps, Col.
W. C. Langfitt commanding, has been
making some repairs and the stone was
disclosed when a small part OF the re-
tanning wall was removed.
The wall will be rebuilt so that the
stone will remain IN view protected by
concrete inclosure with a grating in
front. 1t is expected that the Columbia
Historical Society will erect a permanent
tablet beside the relic to commemorate
the laying OF the first District corner
stone.
The stone is badly weathered and the
inscriptions are nearly all illegibIe The
figure - may be read on the southeast
side. this evidently being part of the
date.
