Product Information

Excerpt from Grant Memorial: Hearing and Report Committee on the Library, House of Representatives, 60th Congress, 1st Session The committee met at 10.30 o'clock a. m.. Hon. Samuel W. McCall in the chair. Present, Representatives McCall (chairman). Conner. Hamilton, Howard, and Thomas, of the committee. Present also, Hon. William H. Taft, Secretary of War; Representative Smith, of Iowa: Representative Sherley, of Kentucky; Gen. Grenville M. Dodge. Col. Charles. S. Bromwell. Frederick Law Olmsted, esq., Henry Hicks, esq., and others. The committee thereupon proceeded to the consideration of the bill (H. R. 10502) to amend the provision of the act entitled 'An act making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, and for other purposes, ' approved June 30, 1906, making an appropriation for continuing the work for the erection of the memorial to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, and the resolution (H. J. Res. 77) relative to the location of the Grant memorial. The clerk called the roll and, by request of the chairman, read aloud the bill H. R. 10502. The CHAIRMAN. Then I also introduced a joint resolution practically suspending the operation of the law until the question raised by Mr. Sherley's bill could be considered and investigated. STATEMENT OF HON. SWAGAR SHERLEY, REPRESENTATIVE FROM KENTUCKY. The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Sherley. have you anything to say to the committee? Mr. SHERLEY. Mr. Chairman. I do t kw that I have anything specially to say. The bill speaks for itself. The only part in it about which I wish to speak is the proviso that in the location of the Grant monument in the Botanic Garden historic trees shall be either removed or in anywise disturbed. As kwn to the committee, the chief controversy in regard to the erection of this monument has turned upon the site selected by the commission. I kw it is t my desire, and I believe it is t the desire of anyone else, to in anywise delay the erection of this proper memorial to General Grant. But we believe that it is possible in the city of Washington to find a suitable site without sacrificing the trees that are in themselves monuments to historic events in the country, and that even if the present site of the Botanic Garden is continued, it does t necessarily follow that it will have to be on such ground in the Botanic Garden as will destroy t only the Crittenden peace tree and the Beck tree, but quite a number of other trees of historic moment. For my part I always look with regret on the destruction of any tree. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
