President Lix Announces.

The action of the board of COVER
nors of the Washington Architectural

indorsed by the members Of the club

The membership of the club is COM

among whom are. at least thirty per
cent of the architects who are general
ly recognized as the leading members
OF the profession in this city. and a
numbebr of whom are also members of

Furthermore, almost two-thirds of

Dom is an expresident of the club

THE board Of governors of the club
desires to state most emphatically that

consideration Of the facts in the case,
and that no pressure of whatever ma

upon which such action was based are
at any time open to the inspection of
any member of the profession or any

AS a means of ascertaining just how
much of the smokestacks of the pro-

will be seen from various points in the
city and in Potomac Park, should the
plant be built, captive balloon about
fifteen feet in diameter was put up
yesterday over the site for the struc-
ture. The balloon was allowed to as
cend to a height Of about 40 feet, that
being the height of the smokestacks
designed for the proposed plant.
Observations were made from the
Treasury, State, War and Navy build

public buildings to ascertain just how

Undertaking of the nature proposed
unless it had first received the most
and architects available for the work.
Not Clearly Understood.
Cass Gilbert. also a member of the
commission, who attended the proceed
ings in the Senate, said:
while the plans for the development
of Washington are broadly known all
over the country and have received the
approval of the highest expert authori-
ties, the details of the plan are not SO
clearly understood by the pubic. One
of the links in the great chain OF parks
and parkways is the development OF
the shore of the Washington channel
by means of a great roadway "h!ch
should be SO constructed as to proVlde
an ample area for commerce and at the
same time a separate driveway Tor
pleasure vehicles. 1t is practically
Riverside drive. but adapted to com
merce, coming as it does Opposite the
peoples playground located on east
Potomac Park.
1T is quite probable that the officials
of the government and members OF
Congress were not cognizant of this
plan and of the possibility of redeem
ing a district which is now far from
attractive, and it is quite natural that
a visit to the present site, disclosing
al it does rotting wharves and tumble
down buildings. ill-kept streets and
general air of disorder and disrepalr,
would give the impression to the Wis
itor that this was really the back yard
of Washington instead of one of it's
main entrances. and that 1t would be
deemed suitable place for a power
plant.
Study Alone Desired.
1T must be borne in mind that the
recommendation of Senator Newlands
was simply to delay the matter long
enough to invite a comprehensive study
of the whole subject, and, had this de-
tail of the plan been fully understood
by all concerned. l have no doubt that
il would have received due weight.

Art and architectural societies
of the United States have united
in an appeal to the nation to pre-
vent the erection of the central
heat, light and power plant at
l4th and Water streets south
west, near the proposed memorial
to the founders of the republic
and the Lincoln memorial.
This campaign has been or
ganized by the American Fedora
ton of Arts, with 100000 men,
bers the American Civic Associa-
ton and the American Institute
of Architects. Its purpose is to
preserve the integrity of the
fine arts commission and insure
the continued esthetic develop
ment of the nations capital.
Announcement of the decision to
make this combined appeal was made
today by Burt L. Fenner, secretary of
the American Institute of Architects,
who said:
I'VE believe there is a very great
sentiment in the nation for making
Washington a beautiful city. and that
any structure that will deface it or
mar the plans for it's development
along the lines already laid out will
be emphatically resented"
Support Senator Newlands.
All of these organizations already
have taken active part in emphasizing
why they believe the erection of the
central plant at the proposed site
would be mistake and disfigure the
general scheme for identification of
the capital. Through local representa-
tives they have given support to Sem
Congress and have secured resolutions
from art societies throughout the
nation.
Following is a copy of letter sent the
House and Senate committees concern
ing the stand of the Washington Chap
ter of the American Institute OF Archi-
tects in connection with the proposed
central power plant:
AT a meeting of the Washington
Chapter of the American Institute of
following preamble and resolution
were authorized:
THE value Of the Mall and park sys-
tenn Of Washington depends upon the
unity and beauty Of the composition.
THE government in buildings and
grounds now has an asset of about
$100.000,0o0, with no jarring note with
in its area. Congress has authorized
the construction of a power plant, the
plans Of which show four smokestacks
1876 feet above water level. This plan
has been condemned by the national
fine arts commission, disnterested
body of experts of known ability. as
very detrimental to the dignity and
beauty of the city of Washington.
I'VE architects, members of the
Washington Chapter of the American
Institute of Architects, knowing the
city, and thoroughly appreciating the
great damage that will be done by the
erection of the power plant with its
smokestacks, wish to heartily COM
mend the action of the national COM
mission of fine arts and to urge upon
the Congress and Treasury Department
either to change the site or modify the
chimneys by using induced draft"

Leaders Encouraged.

Leaders in Washington were greatly
encouraged today to learn that ma
tion-wide campaign has been organ
lied under this strong leadership.
Mr.. Fenner said that an attempt had
been made to "becloud" the issue by
attacking the motives Of the enemies
of the heating plant, and he asserted
there was no foundation for the i'm
situations" of Secretary McAdoo that
the protest was really engineered in
behalf of the Potomac Lighting and
Power Company. whose plant is now
located in the neighborhood from
which it was sought to exclude the
government.
The opposition to the plant on the
proposed location will not be dropped
because of the action of the Senate
Mr.. Fenner added. We will not con-
cede that the matter IS closed. We do
not believe that the people will ap-
prove the plan for this plant once they
properly understand 1t. We believe
there is a very great sentiment in the
nation for making Washington a beau
tiful city, and that any structure that
will deface II or mar the plans for its
development along the lines already
laid out will be most emphatically re-
sented.

Asked to Consider Plans.

The American Institute Of Consult
inR Engineers. which is made up of
practical men. was asked to consider
the plans for the proposed power
plant" said Mr.. Fenner. "and some of
those who visited Washington in op-
position to it were w. J. Wilgus, for
merIy vice president of the New York
Central railroad: G. II. JngersOll, for
merly chief engineer for the New Ha-
ven; President Corthall of the Ameri-
can Society of Civil Engineers, Regi-
nald Pelham Bolton, a well known en-
Eineer. and c. A. Leavitt. a well known
landscape engineer"
Mr.. Fenner said when Senator Mar
tin, chairman Of the Senate conference
committee on the urgent deficiency bill.
was called upon by a committee Of
which Mr. Fenner was a member he
seemed favorably impressed by the ar
guments. and did not come to an ad-
verse decision until after he and Mr..
McAdoo had visited the proposed site.
I'VE also called on President Wilson.

we suggested that the big chimney
