Plant Would Be Unsightly.

The plans for the powerhouse," said
he, contemplate structure IFS feet
inches long by 1875 feet inches wide,
having height of from eighty to
ninety feet above the level of the river
and upon which are superposed four
large chimney stacks each about six
teen feet in diameter and about 1SS
feet in height above the ground or
about 195 feet above the river.
"A structure of this size and char
acter obviously would be conspicuous
wherever located in the city. but a
more unfavorably conspicuous site
could hardly have been selected, be-
cause the proposed plant will be dis
agreeable object in the view from the
most prominent points in the National
Capital, particularly from the Capitol.
the White House and the Lincoln me-
mortal and East Potomac Park and
also Arlington.
Its close proximity to the Washing
ton Monument will affect seriously the
simple dignity of that structure. and
its great bulk and huge stacks will
cause deplorable aspect in that sec
tion of the city.
IF such a plant should be proposed
for erection in or near Central Park,
In the city of New York; or in or near
the Boston Common, in Boston, or on
the river in or near Fairmount Park.
in Philadelphia; or in or near Forest
or in Lincoln Park, in Chicago; or Lake
Shore Park. in Cleveland, or in or
near the park system of San Fran
cisco, there would be Immediate OBJ
lection and derision from one end of
the country to the other.
Some years ago the Pennsylvania
railroad recognized that the location of
its depot and tracks across the Mall
vas detrimental to the aspects of the
city of Washington. and. notwithstand-
ing that they gave them a much more
central location. they were willing to
remove them to their present site and
surrender a valuable franchise right
because they became convinced it was
against the dignified and harmonious
development Of the Capital city. Argu-
ments have been made for the central
ity of this large plant at this point, but
these ought not to have any weight
when its location contravenes the gen
eral development of the city or is det-
rimental to the dignity and beauty of
the city

Opposed by Commission.

''The commission strongly disapproved
Of the plant as designed and viewed it's
proposed location at the present desig-
mated site with grave anxiety.
The four large stacks are, of course,
Objectionable. but even If erected with
out stacks. using forced draft, it would
not dispose of the gases. Even the en-
gineers who designed the plant do not
pretend to say what gases might be
developed from such a plant.
1T will probably be detrimental to
the practical work of the bureau of en-
craving and printing and to many
valuable and delicate objects in the Ma
tionaI Museum and the Smithsonian In
stitution. In the case of private plants
was made by Mr.. Hartman on his
private estate in Arden. y. Y, that
there shall be no chimneys or stacks.
There seem to- be no practical en-
gineering reasons why this plant should
be located on the river front or on the
harbor. The Capitol power plant is not
located there. The only purpose of be-
ing close to the river is apparently so
that river water may be obtained for
condensing purposes in connection with
the turbines. and this could be obtain
ed elsewhere. 1t would probably be
found upon inquiry that the Capitol
power plant is equipped to supply all
the current for the buildings to be sup
piled by the new plant. and the heating
plant could be located elsewhere
TT Is admitted that the engine feature
in q very small portion of the plant and
yet there is provision for an engine room
covering the width of the building or over
hfty-three feet in height from the floor
to the ceiling. Why could not the entire
engine plant be put over TO the Capitol
plant
Another objection is that II one of the
great foods should come all the tunnels
would be flooded and the heating plant
rendered totally ineffective, since they
cannot run steam through flood water,
the tunnels would be flooded and the
heating section of the plant be put out Of
