Hitching Post at Treasury
Defies March of Progress
T,oo-Horse Affair Has
Shaft of Stone and
Rings Of Steel.

By the Associated Press.
The Treasury today turned up a
mystery in its front yard-an ancient,
lipsided hitching post.
Nobody knows why it's been left
there" said Louis A. Simon, super
vising architect of the Treasury's Pro-
curement Division" but there it is, as
big as-well-as big as Q hitching
post"
The post-a two-horse affair
stands on a short circular walk be-
tween the Treasury and the back yard
Of the White House. The shaft is made
Of stone and the rings of rusted steel.
Dragging out faded plans of the
Treasury Building, Simon found no
evidence Of the post in the original
drawings, which date back to the ad-
ministration Of Andrew Jackson.
II then looked up the records Of the
extensions completed in President
Grants administration" said the
architect "Still I found no clues"
Drawn into the investigation, the
Fine Arts Commission dove into its
record but came up with empty
hands. Oficials said they generally
know about such things, but admitted
the hitching post had escaped them.
The District Engineers Once.
which keeps track Of light posts,
trees and drinking fountains, said the
post had puzzled employees for years.
but they had not bothered 1t because
1t looked oficial.
His attention called to it, Police
man Abel Mann made 1t clear that,
as far as he Is concerned, the post is
only an ornament.
Look" he said, two feet away Is
: "no parking" sign. That post is
on one of the busiest streets in Wash
ington. Anybody who tries to hitch
q horse there gets ticket, sentiment
or no."
The stone post is hard-carved.
Simon says he will bet his hat that
it goes back to the days when Presi-
dent Grant rode about the Capital
behind horses.
