S a BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS Oolonel Wilson's Operations During the Month of May. Complaint of Flower Thieves—Cieas- ing U Col. J. M. Wilson has made & report Gen. Casey, chief of engineers, of the oper- ations upon public buildings and grounde in the District of Columbia during the month of May, from which it appears that the usual care was extended to the parks and reservations. Lawns were mown; tresa, shrubs and vines pruned; walks and rain traps were maintained in good orler and outdoor planting was continued. About 200,000 bedding plants have been set apart for that purpose. Eighty-three fiower-beda have been filled with foliage ana flowering plants; boxes planted with water Iilles Placed in the fountain basins in Judiciary, Mt. Vernon, Franklin and Iowa parks, and at the reservation, corner of Pennaylvania avenue and 13th street, and large vases filleg with tropical and flowering plants have been placed in Lafayette, McPherson and other parks. “More or less trouble has occurred during the month,” says Wilson, “from flower and plant thieves from the destruction of plants by Playing in flower-beds during the absen: the watchmen. Stake and wire screens have been constructed in a few instances around the flower-beds to protect them.” The Executive Ma: 5 4 During the month the floor of the north balcony has been repaired, and the interior of the mansion has been arranged for the summer, All carpets have been taken =p, cleaned and stored in the state dining room; all silk and woolen drapery has been ed in the attic, and the lace curtains have been removed to be laundered for next sea- son. The old worn-out matting was re- moved from the east room, the main cor. the blue and green parlors, private dining room end three of the bed rooms in the second story, and replaced with new matting. About 1,000 yards of new ma- terial was used. A new covering of lino- leum has been placed on the floor of the corridor leading from the main. vestibule to the east room. New linen covers have been placed on the furniture in the east room, the red parior, the library, the upper corridor, two bed rooms and one dressing room. The usual care was bestowed upon the large and valuable collection of plants in the conservatory and green houses, and the propagation and repotting of summer and winter flowering plants has been con- tinued. doge ce of The monument has been maintained in ex- cellent condition during the month, no re pairs being necessary other than those of a minor character to the steam pipes in the tunnel. “Owing to the fact that the lodge house was becoming a loafing place for tramps, who were guilty of fithiness and vandalism in it, while the watchman was on duty at the monument,” says the report, “it became necessary to close it for several days during the month.” There were 11,556 visitors to the top of the monument during the month, 9.246 hav. ing made the ascent by the elevator and 2,310 by the stairway, making a total of 926,965 persons who ascended since the shaft was opened to the public, October %, 1888, . Ford's Theater Patlding. Operations on this building have been fa progress, tearing down and rebuilding the east wall, placing iron columns and beams in position and enlarging the windows on the west front. The east wall was entirely torn down and its foundation remdved, the greater portion of the old wall having been found to be of the very poorest character. fhe ground under the foundation was ex- cavated to the proper depth, a bed of con- crete four feet wide and two feet thick was laid and the new brick wall, 26 inches thick, was carried up until it received the iron beams of the second floor. This wall wal be continued to the third floor with a thickness of 22 inches, and thence to the roof with a thickness of 15 inches. The wall of the annex was also torn down, the foundation cleaned out, bed of concrete Placed in position ani the wall carried up with a thickness of 13 inches. “More or less difficulty was encountered,” says Col. Wilson, “in tearing ovt this wall, the portion built under the late Gen. Meigs being of the most substantial character, while the original wall was of the poorest class of materials, the foundation contain- ing many large round boulders laid in com- mon lime mortar, the lime frequently ing evidence of not having been property slaked when used. The new wall is built in the most substantial manner. * * Ow- ing to unexpected difficulties encountered in removing the east wall, due to the neces- sity of constructing a new foundation and the caving in of the earth in the alley east of the building, the laying of the new brick Wall was not commenced until May 21. It Will probably be completed by June 13 and the plastering will then be pushed rapidly forward. As stated in my last report, it is Probable that the building will be ready for occupancy by August 1, possibly at am earlier date.” oo MARRIED. Og, Jane 6, 1904, bg NEWTON A. STP ELIZA R.
