Magnificent Buildings
South of Avenue.

South of Avenue. nificent new
department building west of the new Ma
t.Onal Museum, to be fit companion to
that structure and of the new Depart
ment of Agriculture. When these plans
and others previously laid out are COM
pleted there Will be a group of magnl-
ficent government buildings scu.a OF
Pennsylvania avenue and east of 10Th
street. that will be among me most
imposing in the world. There is
narrow strip of land south of PennsNl-
vania avenue and extending to the world
famous Mall that connects the Capltol
and Washington Monument. This strip or
land. for the most part, Is covered with
sma hotels, restaurants, rooming houses,
the city's leading market, the wholesale
provision d strict and the red light dis
trict. 1t is proposed to remove all OF
this. and to make it the site of new fed
eral buildings the expansion of the gov
eminent makes necessary.
In addition to all these things. Con-
gress has provided for the creation of
small park on what is known as Meridian
HILL which marks the horizon from the
north front of the White House. There
the peop.e may come to get a glimpse OF
the city second only to that which may
be enjoyed from the dome of the Capitol
or from the TOP of the Washington Monu-
ment.

Union station and the Capitol The COM
pletion of these two projects would mean
a park system around the four sides of
the main part of the city, with only one
comparatively short break. 1t would
start at the Union station and extend
nearly half-mile through the Capitol
grounds. Then it would turn at right
angles and extend due west until it reach
ed the water front and along that to the
confluence Of Rock creek with the Po-
tomac-a total distance of two and
ha f miles.
From here it would run north a dis
lance of six miles along Rock creek; III
the event that connecting link between
Rock Creek Park and Soldiers Home
Park is established this would leave Rock
creek at right angles at point about
four, miles above the confluence with the
Potomac. and then would extend east
ward for d mile and a half TO Soldiers
Home. This. in turn. with the municipal
filtration plant. gives a parkway nearly
two miles long and a half mile or more
wide. The only break in the great paral-
telegram then would be the residence sec
ton between the Soldiers Home Park
and the Union station which is about
mile and half long. In other words. in
great line around the best part of the
city some sixteen miles long all but
about two miles would be a line of green.
1t has been suggested that nowhere else
could national forest be created to bet

west of Washington Here is great
stretch of county. where a national for

able cost. The west has its Yellowstone
Park. its Glacier Park and other great
national reserves. but the east has none.
Why not have one between Washington
and Baltimore, within eight hours ride
of perhaps fourth of the country's
population? This is the question of the
dreamer of today, but there are those
who believe that in a decade Congress
will come to give it that same atten-
