ROOSEVELT URGED
Board of Trade Asks Memo
rial Be Located in North
east Washington.

Recommendation of the Board OF
Trade of Washington that the Roose-
welt Associations memorial to the late
President take the form of a coliseum
in the Northeastern section OF the city
today was being placed in the hands
of members of the association and a
formal plea for action on the trade
bodys recommendation will be made
by Washington representatives at a
meeting of the association tomorrow
morning in New York.
Washington's delegation to New York
includes Robert j. Cottrell, secretary
of the Board of Trade; Lieut.. Col. U.
S. Grant. Sd, director of the office OF
public buildings and public parks, and
Claude w. Owen, chairman OF the
Board of Trade memorial committee.
The Board of Trades recommended
ton has been indorsed by the Chamber
of Commerce. the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' Association and large
number of citizens associations Of the
Capital.
In it's recommendation the Board Of
Trade points out that the coliseum
which could be used for sports and
other large gatherings, would be more
fitting memorial to man like Theo-
dore Roosevelt than could any mani
mate statue or pile of marble.
The plan to put it in the Northeast
section of the city is, the body says,
to further development of that section
of the city which never has ben prop
erly developed as originally intended.
The site is on line with the Capital,
the Washington Monument and the
Lincoln Memorial and equi-distant with
the Lincoln Memorial from the Capitol.
1t would, it is held, balance the Lin
coin Memorial in establishing the great
parkway stretch. through the heart of
the Capital.
