architectural glOrieS, ever will be completed.
There has been a general desire among those
most deeply interested in carrying out the
classic L'Enfant plan, which would make WASH
ington the most beautiful Capital in the world.
that the Monument be completed in time for
the great national observance in 1882 of the
bicentennial of George Washington's birth. But
the most Sanguine now concede that there is
no prospect in the present posture of affairs
that more than the laying of the corner stone
OF an appropriate pedestal can be accomplished
at that time.
Although in its present state this superb
memorial to the Father of His Country is one
OF the modern wonders Of the world it has
been from the very beginning a plaything of
fate Many observers are of the opinion that
the Monument and its environs the knoll of
greensward south Of the White House from
the crest of which it begins its upward flight,
represent the permanent design of the me-
mortal The original plan, however. was dis
tinctly different, and the foremost architectural
minds of today agree that the great obelisk
still lacks an appropriate base or setting
Tentative designs for such pedestal have
repoSed on paper for nearly 80 years, and
today there is sleeping in a congressional
pigeOn-hCle a bill which would authorize the
first steps toward realization of the finished
structure So, nearly century and a half
after the memorial idea first was preached, no
man can say when the work of patriotism and
vencration SymboZed in the cloud piercing
shaft will be brought to perfection
There are two principal sources of delay LOOM
ing III the path of construction of a PROPER
base for the Monument. Congress, unwilling to
divert It's attention from pressing national
problems, has given no assurance that it will
act on the needed legislation Secondly, there
are StupendouS engineering problems to be
solved before construction work can be under
taken without the specter of disaster to the
555-f0Ot shaft obtruding itself.
The Monument today rests upon ample fouu-
dations of reinforced concrete, but the char
acter of the soil on the surrounding terrain must
be fully aScertained before new building stems
are taken. The situation thus preciptated is
therefore, one more link in the chain of delays
which have fettcred work on the Monument
from time out of mind
THE episode which for a time menaced COM
pletion even of the shaft occurred in 1854
Work on the famous pile of masonry had been
progressing by fits and starts until that wear
when there was committed an act which created
widespread indignation throughout the country
and effectively damned the flow of money
contributions which even previously had often
times fallen to a mere tickle
Anticipating by decades the modern pro-
mottonal methods now employed to win public
moral and material support for given causes
ana projects, ranging from articles of food To

The writer's recollection of Prof Hall is that

was earlier called, was the rendezvous of

headquarters on Camp Hill during the War of
