y Protest From Virginia Women

T HE Virginia Federation Of Women's Clubs
through its delegates in session here
yesterday recorded its earnest disapproval
or the projected State Office building
Capitol Square. This is one OF the most
Significant protests yet raised against the
contemplated invasion OF The historic
Square. II is no sense local protest. 1t
comes from the thousands of Virginia
women Virginia voters. ii may be peril
newt to recall-who comprise the mem
hcrship of an organization reaching every
quarter and corner OF the State They
recognize i'll the impending step an indefen-
sble attack upon one OF the most priced
possessions OF the Commonwealth. and as
heirs and guardians OF that possession in
common with all other Nirginians they ask
that some way be found to avert the dis
aSter.
In this resolution of protest is signi-
ticant reminder OF the widespread feeling
existing among Virginia people against the
contemplated step There can he no ques-
ton that the whole State would rejoice
IN a withdrawal OF the General Assemblies
order to utilize a portion of the Capitol
grounds for this building; and 1t may hard
~ be questioned that the General Assem-
bly, IL given an opportunity. would readily
nCcod" 70 the overwhelming popular de-
mand. That the building commission is
without authority To acquire site by pur-
chase the public we'll understands but rep
resentative pulHid groups would not he
raising their voices in protest if it were
not felt that the very near future will bring
the desired opportunity for legislative re-
lief.
