S BUILDINGS WILL NOT ENCROACH ON MALL Does Not Approve of Placing Commerce Department "Home on Parkway—Fa- vors Present Market Site. EXCEPTION MADE IN CASE OF MEMORIAL EDIFICES Sees Produce Dealers’ Future Lo- cation as Secondary—Gives Can- did Opinion on Questions That Have Become Serious Problem to Official Ageneies in Capital. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG, Staft Correspondent of The Sta: WHITE PINE CAMP. N. Y., tembe= 11.—President Coolidge does not approve of the proposal to erect the new building for the Department of Commerce in that section known as the Mall. The President is desirous of secing the integrity of the Mall safe from the enroachment of public buildings. and he sincerely hopes that those intrusted with the sclection of sites for the Federal buildings to be erected under the provisions of the new public buildings program will do nothing that would mar or disfigure the natural beauty of this long strip of parkway. In the opinion of thcfirmdvm. the scattering of office buildings to be used by the Government, no matter how attractive they may be archi- tecturally, could not help but be a detriment to this park section. Besides, he believes the encroach- ment of fublic buildings within the borders of the Mall would tend to defeat the plans for its fufure physical treatment and development. Of course, the President recognizes the necessity for making an excep- tign in the case of buildings for the Department of Agriculture. and | structures’ for museums or those of a natore that would class them as monumentg or memorials. Would Deplore Park Mar. But to slice aff sectiens.of the Mall for -the purpose of “new de- partment buildings would be deplor- |able, a¢cording to the ideas he en- tertains for the preservation and development of this central park gar- den. The President believes there is sufficient, room in Washington for the successful location of these pro- posed buildings elsewhere. These candid and very positive views of the President were expressed by. him today to the writer. He gave the latter the impression that the proposed Department of Commerce Building, the location of which is causing considerable concern in Wash- ington_ at this momenty would be erected upon some site bther than within the borders of the Mall. if those who have the say in the matter weuld seek his advice or opinion. It goes without saviag that the President is not familias erisugh with the subject to say offhan st where the new $10,000.000 home for, the De partment “of Commerce should he built. Y The suggestion to erect this build- ing on the site fronting Pennsylvania avenue between Seventh and Tenth streets and adjoining the Mall im- presses President Coolidge as having considerable . merit and as being worthy of serious consideration. Un- fortunately he is not sufficiently as- soclated with the various questions involved in the selection of such a site. At any rate, he is inclined to ook upon the question of removing the Center Market and its wholesale branch as being of secondary im- portance. As a result of #he thought he has given to it he belleves this site would be a convenient and prac- tical place for the new home of the Department of Commerce. Would Favor Market Site. 1f those who are intrusted with the selection should decide to remove the | market and put the Commerce Build- ifg on that site, th iter has every reason to helieve &;mn would meet with the approval of the Presi- dent. His principal concern is in re- Jation to the preservation of the Mall. As for the selection of any other site outside its borders, he cares only that the question of the practicability of the location, as well as its adaptabik ity, be given fullest consideration. ~"The questiom of 2 new site for the market properties in the event this area is finally agreed upon shouid not he a difficult one to disposc of, he be- leves. Rather than encroach upon the heauties of the Mall. those who are to make the selectiom firsc should choose.some other place, and, if they are attracted by the area hetween tke | Avenue and the Mall and Seventh and Tenth streets, they should not permit themselves to become confused or bampered by the question of a new site for the market buildings. The latter question could be settled in a leisurely and satisfactory manner later or after it has been definitely settled that the market buildings must give way for the Commerce Butlding. g Has Not Advised Boart. ‘There is nothing here to indicate that the President has communicated his views to the United States Public Bulldin, Commission or the cre- tary of the Treasury, or to any uther commission or individuals back in ‘Washington since the question as- sumed such serious proportions.
