Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Remarks: On the History and Uses of Potomac Park Dear Mr. Justice Hagner: - We desire the opportunity of having printed in permanent form for the benefit of the future your recent address upon the history of the reclamation of the "Potomac Flats" and the establishment of Potomac Park. The important and honorable part which you took in that great project for the preservation of the water front of the National Capital for public uses, and especially for the benefit of the whole people as a public park, by your authorship of the opinion containing the judgment of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in General Term, in the celebrated Morris case, which, being affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, determined, forever, that "the rights of property and sovereignty over the river Potomac, with its shores and adjacent lands, devolved upon the United States as the common property of the people, to be used solely for public purposes for the benefit of the seat of government," made it especially fitting that you should deliver that address, and its character makes it appropriate that it should be published for the benefit of all who are, or shall be, interested in the development of the National Capital.
