To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A City Hall was not built for nearly twenty-five years and was then a shabby affair. The jail was an offen- sive disgrace. Long after the city was well-grown, the salary of the mayor continued at $500 per annum. Lethargy, parsimony and hopelessness, in short, characterized the old local government. Nor did the example of the general 24 The City of Washington. [554 government become more inspiriting, as Congress grew more accustomed, or indifferent, to its surroundings and devoted a more and mor...e overwhelming portion of its time and atten- tion to other subjects. Public scandals concerning what little was actually done for the city, did not cease with the early Commissioners. Wolcott's charges of misuse of the public monies became sadly familiar from a repetition of similar instances. One of the first official acts of the cons- cientious President Harrison was to appoint a committee to investigate this noisome subject.
Aroused, at last, by the existing unsightliness, Congress, in 1851, appointed a competent landscape-gardener to put in order the Presidential grounds and the Mall.
