and Mr. Jones introduced the following Senate Joint Resolu-
tion requesting the Senators and Representatives in Congress
from Maryland to use their influence to prevent the location of
a government power plant in the center of the park system
of the city of Washington:

Feeling a national pride in preserving the dignity and im-
portance of the memorials to Washington, Lincoln and other
great men in Washington city, and in securing to the national
capital a most attractive park system for the pleasure of
people from our State, and hearing that a government power
plant is to be erected about the center of the park system, where
it will destroy charming landscape and belittle and mar great
memorials and stately buildings, being condemned by the Na-
tional Commission of Fine Arts.

Therefore, we request the Senators and Representatives from
our State to urge the reconsideration of the location of this
building and submit the question to an expert commission, to
study its artistic and economical aspect, in accordance with the
resolution presented in the Senate by Francis G. Newlands
(Senate Joint Resolution 92).

[Which was read the first time and referred to the Commit-
tee on Federal Relations. ]
