BOWERMANURGES
LIBRARY PROJECT
Henry K. Bush-BroWn Joins
in Favoring Memorial at
Lafayette Square.

DR.. George f. Bowerman, librarian
or the Washington Public Library, and
Henry X. Bush Brown, were before the
House District committee yesterday
awaiting an opportunity to be heard in
support of the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Bruce of Maryland, which will be
sponsored in the House by Representa-,
tive Gibson, providing for a monumen
tai branch library as a memorial to
all the Presidents on the site at Six.
teenth and II streets, opposite ST.
Johns Church.
Mr.. Gibson referred to this in the
report made by his subcommittee.
which has been making a systematic
survey of the municipal government.
because they were prevented by the
press of other business from getting a
hearing yesterday, DR.. Bowerman and
Mr.. Bush-Brown issued a joint state.
ment today regarding the project.
Bowerman Favors Plan.
Replying directly to a published
statement that this measure lacks his
support on the ground that it is in
conflict with the five-year building
program of the library, DIR. Bowerman
said
Il am in hearty sympathy with the
measure provided the costs Of buying
this expensive site and the erection
of building of somewhat monument
al proportions are met from the Fed.
eral Treasury. If this is done and
the branch library could then be
turned over to the District l should
then be heartily in favor of main
tanning such a branch library as part
OF the Public Library system.
"A separate branch library at this
point was not contained in the origi-
nal program. not because the proposal
lacked merit, but simply because of
the costliness of sites at this point,
which I felt were outside of what we
ought to propose. 1 do think that we
very much need a branch library here.
and If it could come to us on the
basis proposed in this bill-that is,
with the whole original cost to be
borne by the Federal Government on
account of the memorial character of
the original project should heartily
welcome such a proposal. The bill in
troduced by Senator Bruce does pro.
vide for the original cost to be borne
by the Federal Government. The
board of library trustees has not yet
passed on this proposal"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-02-24
Would Cost $1,000, 900.

Important, however, as the use
OF such a library would be, its utility
is almost overshadowed by the arts
tic necessity for such a building of
colonial architecture to balance ST.
Johns Church, completing the COM
position of the north side of the
square. This square was originally
named the Presidents Square and 1t
was changed to La Fayette on the
occasion of that generals visit to
this country in 1924 as a respectful
acknowledgment of his service to
this country. 1t is thus the more
fitting that this library should be
dedicated to the memory of all the
Presidents of the United States. On
account of this memorial character
the original cost should be met en-
tirely from Federal funds. The total
cost of 100000 ($600,000 for this
site and 100000 for the building) is
less than l cent for every inhabitant
of the United States.
"The central and branch libraries
OF. the District were all erected by
Andrew Carnegie or the Carnegie
corporation at cost of nearly $780,
900. This is the first time the Gov
eminent has been called on for
funds other than the maintenance, to
which the District has contributed
its share in the past. This would
also apply to the maintenance of this
branch library. Such a library in
such a location will be a glory to
the Nation for all time to come"

The proposed branch is designed
to be a memorial to all Of the Presi-
dents of the United States, and to be
known as the Presidents Memorial

would furnish library facilities con-

that nearly $4,000 persons are en-

MINING STOCKS.
EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Time to BE Cautious.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

The opening weeks of 1899 witnessed
one of the broadcast investment mar
kets on record. Practically every class
and all grades of bonds and preferred
stocks were in urgent demand and
prices on the average went higher
than at any time in IA years. At first
il was the highest grade OF bonds that
investors concentrated upon, then the
middle and second grade issues were
taken I'D and finally those verging on
the speculative.
The next step was to turn to stocks
where a reasonable current income
was combined with the possibilities of
larger price appreciation than could
be expected in bonds. This is the
normal order Of events in a period of
surplus investment funds.
Now a little reflection will convince
even a layman that in the later stages

TO say a few words as to the charac-
teristics that make common stock
a suitable investment under conditions
such as have obtained since the first

In the first place only those stocks
qualify which are shares in a COR

neriods of business depression and
not simply one that has made a good
record in times of prosperity. In
other words. common stocks bought

equal importance is it that the in
dustrv concerned should be an essen

| There is room for difference of
/. opinion as to just what Is essential,
but there is not much difficulty in
seeing that a corporation that sells
electric light and power, for instance,
will have d steadier demand for its
service than one that deals in what
are admittedly Injuries. The next es
sentiaI is a. strong financial position

their other merits may have been. AL
these matters are of greater import
than the yield the stock happens t
give at the prevailing market price
In other words, the investor who turns

should convince himself that funda

il had ever been before. The so-called
Jacksonville wage agreement between
the United Mine Workers and the soft
coal operators provided for wage
scale above the market. Accordingly.
there was A significant trend of hi
luminous coal business from the union
to the, non.union mines. During the
drift some of the big operators in Ohio
and Pennsylvania repudiated the wage
agreement, and in the coal mine
owned by officials of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers non.union
wages were paid. AS a result of these
changing conditions non-union mines.
which formerly produced 80 per cent
of the bituminous output of the coun-
try, are now turning out close to 20
per cent. Many of the non-union
mines. which have flourished. are in
West Virginia along the route of the
Chesapeake and Ohio.
The anthracite coal strike and the
subsequent British coal strike, also
favored the bituminous mines. and
swelled the tonnage of the Chesapeake
and Ohio.
