The last Congress authorized two de- velopments which bear a definite rela- tion to the rearrangement of B street. One was the authorization for the ex- tension of _the " Capitol Grounds to Union Statidn, a féature of which will be a broad diagonal avenue from the | P! fountain in front of the station to link with the improved B street at a point near Pennsylvania avenue. The other was the authorization for the municipal profane language in the presence of his wife and two young sons.
