Suant 10 Join Resolution
Approved Feb. II
SUBMITTED TO CONGRESS

Washington, Dec. 4.--(P)-A huge
fountain located in the center Of an
island Of white granite and spouting
shaft of water 200 feet into the air
is the center Of a design for the pro-
posed Roosevelt Memorial submit
ted to Congress today by the Roose-
welt Memorial Association.
The design is that of John Russell!
Pope of New York, who was select
ed by jury composed of Herbert
Adams, Paul Cret and Louis AyreS
after competition in which sixteen
other architect took part.
The little island of granite would
be thanked by majestic colannades
with symbolical ships at it's base
carrying the message of the great
Americans life to the four points
of the compass.
The Site
The site is situated in the Tidal
Basin, or old Twiniug Lake, a cir
cular body of water on the line of
Sixteenth Street southwark from the
White House. Its choice was said
to have been largely influenced by
the knowledge of President Roose-
| velt's part in the creation of the
city's old park commission plan and
| by his insistence that each new elc-
, ment Of beauty introduced be har-
moniZed with it.
| The island of granite from which
the powerful shaft of water rises is
$50 feet in diameter, the basin GOO
feet. from the center of one COLON
made to the other is 500 feet, and he
| colonnadcs themselves are each 6It

The memorial would be Of The
