should forever stand in a setting
serene and dignified. The follow
ing. from the pen of Charles
Moore, chairman of the Commits
sion of Fine Arts for almost a
quarter of a century, is pertinent: {:
"The project for a monumental
bridge across the Potomac-a
bridge monumental in spirit as
well as in design-firSt found ex-
Ipression in an address delivered
by Daniel Webster on the occa-
sion Of laying the cornerstone of
the extension of the United States
Capitol on July 4, 1851. In the
course of pleadings for the pres
Iervation of the Union. the disso-
luton Of which even at that date
seemed imminent, the orator ex-
claimed: Before us is the broad
and beautiful river. separating
two of the original 13 States,
which a late President. a man of
determined purpose and inflexible
will, but patriotic heart, desired
to span with arches of ever
enduring granite, symbolical of
the firmly established union of the
North and the South! The Presi-
dent was Gen. Jackson!'"
Island Cost S3s6,0o0.
2. In 1880 the Roosevelt Me-
mortal Association purchased
Analostan Island from the Wash
ington Gas Light Co. for the sum
Of $364.ooo. This proved to be a
most timely action. The pur-
chase removed the threat of COM
|plete destruction of this island by
the erection Of huge gas holders.
The association gave the island to
the people of the United States as
an enduring monument to the
memory of Theodore Roosevelt.
and the Congress passed an act
that became law on May 81. 1882.
forever setting apart Ana1ostan
Island, thereafter to be known as
Theodore Roosevelt Island, as a
lasting memorial to a late Presi-
dent of the United States.
It seems to us that this act of
Congress is binding upon the Gov
ernment of the United States,
acting for the people Of this coun-
try. and is. irrevocable. The act
states, in part. that no general
plan for the development of the
island be adopted without the ap-
Iproval of the Roosevelt Memorial
Association, and that, so long as
this association remains in exist
ence, no development, inconsistent
with this plan. be executed with
out the associations consent"
The officers of the association
unanimously oppose the erection
of this bridge, which would en-.
croach upon and destroy the
island memorial dedicated tt
. Theodore Roosevelt.

Roosevelt Island have been ap.
proved by the Roosevelt Memoria.

Jealous Calf Eots
Winners Blue Ribbon
By the Associated Press

RALEIGH, N. C.-The calf that
won the white ribbon at the recent
junior dairy show was evidently
contented until some one tied ur
a blue ribbon winning Guernsey
heifer beside it.
When no one was looking the
calf reached over and lifted the
blue ribbon with her teeth and ate
it. Some one found another blue
ribbon for the heifer.

bypass. :. The approaches would
be expensive to construct. and we
assume that on the Virginia side
the rights Of way would be ex-
pensive to buy. But a Potomac
River bridge in this location
would be less than half the length
of the main structure Of the pro-
posed E street bridge.

National Capital Parks, the In
terror Department agency which
administers Federal park lands
here. has issued a report con-
cerning highways and bridges
which involve park land.
The report, prepared by an en-
gineering finn, recommends
strongly against construction of
another bridge across the Po-
tomac River at E street. Such q
bridge has been recommended in
study prepared by another firm
for the District Commissioners.
A third report, made by an en-
gineering firm for the National
Capital Planning Commission.
also recommends against the E
Street Bridge.
Following is a partial text Of
the section of the NCP report
concerning the proposal for a
new bridge across the Potomac
River:
We have reached this con-
clusion: In the near future, a new
crossing of the Potomac River,
related to the central area of
Washington, doubtless will be
needed. However. we do not agree
that the E street location is a
suitable one. These are our rea-
sons:
Aesthetic Values.
!. We consider the Potomac
River. from the vicinity of the
Highway Bridge to the vicinity of
the Francis Scott Key Bridge. to-
gether with the bordering park
and parkway lands to be an
integral and inseparable part of
the central composition Of the
Nations Capital. This area of the
city has, in itself, an aesthetic
value that we firmly believe should
not be impaired.
The intrusion of a bridge struc-
ture. the high point Of which
would be 81 feet above mean lew
water, and 40 feet above the high
est point on Theodore Roosevelt
Island. crossing the broad quiet
waters of the Potomac, would be
such an impairment as seen from
many vantage points. including
those on the bridges. on the
shores. on the terrace of the Lin
coin Memorial, on the Water Gate
or on the heights of Arlington.
The Lincoln Memorial must ever
dominate the wide areas at the
west end Of the central compost
ton. This means that the views
|. of it, within these areas. must not
be interrupted by any other struc-
ture.
Here lies a unique and eminent.
! Ily distinguished landscape COM

! millions Of Americans spread ovel

and water. including the 90-acr,

dore Roosevelt, should be irrepara.
bly, damaged, as it would be dam.

> bridge; in the words Of Justic'

of Fine Arts. The island is nov
being developed In accordance
with these plans.
No Logical Reason.
While it is sometimes necessary
to abrogate sacred agreements in
the face of peril or disaster, the
pressure to carry out projects OF
an immediate benefit, which
would be convenience to a rela-
lively small group of people
should not be accepted by the
Government of the United States
IS q logical reason for abrogating
the legal and moral obligation
which the Congress Of the United
States accepted on behalf Of all
the people of the country at the
time of the acceptance Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt Island as public
trust. The act Of May 81. 1882
creating q memorial to former
President, appears to us TO be In
nature inviolate.
8. We believe bridge at the
E street location has a serious
fault as a traffic facility. It would
draw and discharge traffic within
the heart Of the central area in
a manner that we believe would
tighten the congestion in this area
A facility of this kind should be
designed to function as the South
west Freeway would function
namely as a distributor and a by.
pass. It should relate to the mar
gin Of the area. not to the heart
of it.
The bridge, together with re-
lated proposals for E street and
South Executive avenue. would
require pavement widening at To-
cations where it would be incon-
gruous and destructive of estab-
lished values. The induced traffic
volumes would be incompatible
with the White House grounds anc
the Presidents Park and with the
proposed E Street Mall and the
limited development planned fol
the areas along it and west o1
Twenty-Third street.
If it should be argued that the
traffic would be dispersed by the
proposed connections to the
bridge, then it can be argued with
greater force that the location
lacks significance. and the traffic
could as well or better disperSs
from another location.
Alternates Recommended.
We recommend preliminary ex.
ploration of two possible alter.
mates to the e street bridge, i
another crossing of the Potoma,
River is proved to be necessary
in the area between the Arlington
Memorial Bridge and the Key
Bridge, after which one could b'
selected for detailed study: Il,
a site for a tunnel crossing re.
lated to the central area, and e,
the location Of a new bridge i'm.
mediately downstream Of, and :,
serve as q complementary facilit!
to, the Key Bridge.
