Ing, and there were other reasons. Rid.
Ing up Sixteenth (now called the ave

palatial LONE Of Franklin MacVeagh,
former secretary Of the treasury. The
location just suited Decker. The ex.
terior Of the building indicated that
the ceilings were high and the rooms
spacious.
Leaving his automobile at the curb,
the congressman approached the en-.
