for the use Of Colorado yule marble in
the walls, etc, and was approved by the
Lincoln memorial commissioners because
of their expressed belief that that par
ticular kind of marble was best adapted
to the purpose.
Protests have been made by the Georgia
congressional delegation, Arthur Cowsill
and John Gill & Sons, contractors, and
other persons, against the adoption Of the
recommendations of the Lincoln memorial

tests is that Georgia marble is equally
good, if not better, than Colorado mar
BILE, for building the memorial. and that
the bids of the contractors providing for
the use of the southern marble were low

sequently should be given preference in
the economic interests of the government

Colorado marble was comparatively
