Proposed Structure at 14th and E Streets Called “Gross Mistake.” The erection of a two-story building at the corner of Fourteenth and E | streets fronting Pennsylvania avenue, by the United Cigar Stores Co., drew criticism from the Central Citizens’ Association, which last night rapped such move as incompatible with the architectural demands of the city and a gross mistake.

The continuation of New York avenue beyond Second street, morth- east, was sought by the association, which, in addition, repected the boule- varding of the avenue beyond that point. | ative Montague of section to give the dome the balanced | base always intended is proposed in a bill introduced today by Repre: Virginia, ing an authorized sppropriation $3.500,000, Reconstruction of the approaches to the Capitol as recommended by a joint congressional commission in specifically provided for in the Monta gue bill.
