Excerpt from Problems in the Development of Washington
Last year the Senate passed a bill to extend the present Botanic Gardens by taking in an additional section of the Mall. The bill failed in the House, but it has been reintroduced in the Senate, where it has the backing of two influential Senators. Should the bill become a law, the proper development of the Mall will be retarded for many years.
