Boulevard to Mount Vernon funded by Senate amendment
The Senate approved an amendment to the deficiency bill authorizing 120,000 dollars to the Mount Vernon Avenue Association of Virginia for a boulevard linking Washington and Mount Vernon. Virginia's claim dates to early federal loans for public buildings, with Maryland receiving 72,000 dollars for similar use. Debate highlighted patriotism, district boundaries, and the plan to construct a road from the capital to Mount Vernon, with funds to be used upon confirmation of the association's ability to carry out the project.
