The Municipal Building, Washington, D. C., to-
cated at 14th and Pennsylvania Aves., is the home
of the District of Columbia Government. It is a
beautiful white marble structure, 243 feet x 196
feet and cost, exclusive of site, nearly $2,000,000.
The District of Columbia is under the executive
control of three Commissioners, two Civilians and
one Army Engineer, who are appointed by the
President. Congress makes its laws and pays half
of the Municipal expense as an offset against non-
assessment for taxes of United States property.
Besides the office of the District Commissioners,
the Police, Fire and Health Depts. are also lo-
cated in the Municipal Building. A statue of
Alexander P. Shepherd, the last Governor of the
District of Columbia, by U. S. J. Dunbar, is
erected in front of it.
