THE SITE OFFERED BY MRS PATTERSON INSPECTED BY THE JOINT COMMITTER—A UNANIMOUS DECIS- ION AGAINST IT—OBJECTIONS TO THE FBOFOSED SITE AS STATED BY GEN. SINGLETON. The joint committees on additional accommods- tions for the Congressional l1brary to-day went out and examined the site proposed to be given by Mra. Carlisle Patterson. They not only visited the site, Dut they examined into the question of its owner- ship and of the title that Mrs. Patterson could con- vey. They decided unanimously against the site, on the ground of inappropriateness and inaccessi- bility, and also on the ground that no lawful title can be given. Gen. Singleton, chairman of the House committee, sald to a Stan reporter: “We found that the site 1s not at all suitable.

Now these ari the objections as to location. “As to title, Mts. Patterson wanted to donate it, but as she bas nothing but a life interest th the property she could not do that. ‘The prop- erty ts entailed upon her children and children’s children. She cannot, therefore, make a donation Of It, or any part of It. So, tn lieu thereof, she pro- ‘posed to sell It to the committee at a merely noml- hal price. ‘This cannot be done, for while the will of Mrs. Patterson's mother vests the title In trustees for the benefit of the heirs with power tn the trustees to sell and reinvest the proceeds in other property, yet the law requires that they shall get a reason: ably fair price for it. No court in equity would up- hold any ttle given under other circumstances. For these reason the committee decided unani- mously that the offer cannot be accepted.” G ngleton sald It was the purpose of him- self and his assoclates of the committee to bring up the bul at the earllest possible moment, and to press {¢ with all thelr power. He added that no friend of the Dili can fall to be convinced, for the Teasons given, that the Patterson site is out of the question, and'that any member who advocated It now only stamped himfelf as an obstructionist, zany op Seles MORAY _NIDg $0 CMEAEIAR AMERY project.
