Sherrill, his assistant, in direct charge,” recently suggested the pro- priety of placing the equestrian statue of Gen. Washington, now wn- dergoing repairs, on the site of the Jackson statue and re-erecting the Jackson statue on the present site of the Washington statue, in Wash- ington Circle, at Pennsylvania avenue and 23d street.

In March, 1885, Congress appropriated $50,000 for the erection of a statue of Lafayette and his compatriots in this city and left the selection of a suitable site to a commission consisting of the Secre- tary of War, the chalrmen of the congressional committees library and the architect of the Ca That commission favored pla ing the statue in the center of La- fayette park, then, as now, occupled by the Jackson statue, Strong op- position developed to the moving of the latter status, and the com- mission compromised by deciding to place the Lafavette statue on the Pennsylvania avenue front of the park named in his honor, on the line of Sixteenth street directly between the Jackson statue and the main en- trance to the White House. That selection also met with considerable objection, but did not prevent the cunstruction of the cement founda- tion for the statue at that polnt in anticipation of the early completion of the statue. Work Was Suspended. In August, 1880, however, Congress directed the suspension of work on the site selected on the ground that it fronted and obstr “the view to the equestrian s of Andrew Jackson, which, by thority of Congress, was place where it now 1s, franting Pennsy’ vania avenue and the White Hou The act of Congress also directed the commission (o select some other site for the Lafayette statue.
