ton to this featuree. both open and
covert, was greater than that directed
against any other portion Of the plan.
1t became necessary to divide the enemy
and beat him in detail. This was done
IN the location OF the National Museum,
the Department of Agriculture and the
Freer Gallery, normal to the newly
drawn axis from the Capitol through
the Washington Monument to the Lin
coin Memorial site; also in the loca-
lions of the Grant and Meade Monu-
ments. Now Congress has established
officially the plan of 1901 from the Mall
In its entirety, and the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission is
preparing working drawings for the
roads and crossings. AS this improve
ment continues park features OF ele-
gance and beauty will be added, and
series Of driveways paralleling Pennsyl-
vania avenue will be provided for light
vehicles. This means a great trans
formation.
The commission has regarded the
setting of the Washington Monument
as the GROWING feature Of the great
central composition of the National
Capital. Therefore the commission has
been disposed to allow this particular
gardens to await the completion Of the
Mall and the grounds of the Lincoln
Memorial, being convinced that public
taste would in time see the necessity of
the proposed treatment (or something
akin to IT. and would then demand the
execution Of this vital feature. Such
time is now approaching.
Careful Study Given.
mo detail Of the plan of 1901 had
more careful study than these gardens
had. This study had for It's object,
first, to bring the Monument itself into
those vital relations to both the Capitol
and also the White House which
L'Enfant so carefully planned and JEFF
ferson SO faithfully marked, but which
were not observed in the exact location
for the site claimed LEnfant's au-
thorlty, but lacked the training and the
feeling for plan which the Frenchman
put into his design and which WASH
lngton and Jefferson recognized and
supported. II required a surgical oper-
alton on the part of the commission of
1901 to restore q proper environment to
the Monument 1t was like setting
broken leg, but 1t was accomplished so
sktllfully that in so far as relations with
the Capitol are concerned no one would
know the limb was ever broken The
relations with the White House are still
TO be developed with gardens and ter
races as shown in the drawings.
Now, all this planning for the
Monument gardens belongs distinctly
to the realm of the fine arts It is work
for the artists. The man on the street
(who is always a stickler for simplicity
that usually is slovenliness) will object.
as he objected vigorously to the loca-
ton and setting Of the Lincoln Memo
rial. but whsn the Monument gardens
shall be finished he will rush to enjoy
them.

"A decade ago the typical District

character or consistency and no land

these civic buildings speak the language

Land Purchase Duty.
"The Commission Of Fine Arts is
charged by law with passing upon the
proposed purchase of lands by the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, and frequently is called upon
to do so. The aim of Congress was to
make certain the systematic, harmoni-
Gus development of the park system of
the District Of Columbia. In no in
stance has conflict of views arisen. On
the contrary, harmonious cooperation
between the two bodies has been the
unbroken rule.
president Hoover In his annual mes
sage to Congress urged that the appear
ance OF buildings facting the important
Government buildings and parks should
be subject to supervision by the Com
mission of Fine Arts. The surprising
beauty Of Paris comes from such regu-
lation. The transformation of the area
dominated by the Philadelphia Fair
mount Parkway Is being worked out by
VI public VI
buildings. The Commission of Fine
Arts never has sought to extend the
scope of It's powers, but 1t has never
declined to perform any duty Congress
has put upon 1t.
The cordial relations that Congress
and the executive departments sustain
with the Commission Of Fine Arts are
hast made evident by the steady In
crease in the number of projects on
which the advice Of the commission is
required"

H. P. Caemmerer, executive secretary

ten for The Star q review of the or
ganiZation's work during the year, sum-
marking the important events that have
marked its meetings. In this first-hand
closeup of the subject Mr.. Caem-
merer says:
"Hamlin Garland, the author, on a
recent visit to Arlington, was standing
by L'Enfant's tomb, looking of over
the city of Washington. He turned to
his companions. saying, This is no
longer my Washington. In my Wash
ington, Arlington was far away from
the city-remote and isolated. Now II
is a constituent part of the Greater
Washington-already great in concep-
ton and vast in extent. and when the
highway to Mount Vernon and the
driveway to Great Falls shall be COM
pleted, the vistas are unlimited
"One Summer night in 1901, the
members of the Senate Park Commits
sion saw with minds eye the vision
now revealed as an actuality to Mr.
Garland. Resting on the steps OF the
exquisite little temple in the grounds
of the Villa Borghese, in Rome. the
long-talked-of Memorial Bridge was
visualzed as a low, broad paSsageway
leading from a monument to Lincoln
to the graves of his soldiers; and more
than this-as the link connecting parks
on both banks OF the Potomac. All
these fine conceptions took outline al
that time and then were presented in

wealth of illustrations. Those plans
