Now, we have the Lincoln Memorial,
but that does not finish the park commits
sion plan,' said Mr.. Brown. I'VE have
the connecting links between the small
parks throughout the District. We have

the most important thing to be accom-
plished for the, city; we have the bridge
across the Potomac, starting at the Lin
coin Memorial and looking directly to Ar

Potomac, which should be preserved as
a national forest reservation. So. this
committee has work before 1t for years.
and, instead of getting less jealous, we
should become more and more jealous.
