he had planned a 12-foot high statue on a base, and he looked at that atrium, and he said this is going to be a terrible failure. and he -- it had to be bigger, and he had a great eye, needless to say. he immediately thought 19 or 20 feet would do it, but how do you get congress to reappropriate or appropriate an additional 50 or -- or $60,000 either in bronze $50,000 or marble? believe it or not, he had not decided yet. here's how he did it. he made a cast of lincoln's head that was proportional to a 19-foot high statue. he took it to washington. he suspended it from ropes in exactly the position it would hold in the lincoln memorial interior, and then he got robert lincoln to come down and say, this is perfect. you couldn't do anything smaller. this persuasive work is now in the new york historical society. i am going to advocate for a label that fully discloses its history as the model that changed the size of the lincoln memorial. so what next? daniel chester french is a great conceive or. he is a great modeler. he's not michelangelo. he does not take tools and begin chipping away a

>>in you want to see the moo the atrium. e walk ve a 15-min around there. >> let us know what you find. >> i will. >>> not the day to be on a rooftop to hold on to kids. the winds will increase once the sun comes up this morning. there's a pocket of col air that wome through and ring out another chance for quick-hitter rain showers. the heavy rain that we dealt with yesterday, dulles airport, 2.69 inches of rain yesterday. that's an all-time daiec rainfalld for the entire month of march. at rainiest day on record dulles. and the heaviest of the rain is on the other side of the bay bridge, moving on the eastern shore. like to have wind restrictions on l bridges. be careful. the first chance pulls out this rning. and i think we will get breaks of sunshine late morning into the afternoon. as the surge of wind and colder air rise, 1:30, the showers deloping in the mountains of west virginia. in all likelihood, somewhere between 2: and 6:00, this afternoon into this evening, the fast-moving rai showers coming through here. it wil

so we're helping co-host it at the atrium. so we've had one new file that's been introduced and will be coming before you. we don't have it scheduled just yet but supervisor brown has introduced legislation that is requiring all brick and mortar business to access cash as well as cards as part of an equity issue. i'm not sure when it will come before the commission. i did make an announcement about it at the council district merchant's meeting and sent to mario the link so again this is something i think our merchant groups read and weigh in on. supervisor, fewer, i had talked to you several meetings back about the video cameras monitoring shoppers. because of the research done realize this is a much more comp complicated she's now put that legislation on hold for right now. so that will not be coming back before us because there's a lot of larger issue to be given consideration and the city actually has to be due to prop b, i think it is, in the last election the city has to draft requirements around privacy notifications. so

the light well, i would call it atrium. 14 by 10. to match that and their building goes back 80 feet, much longer than what ours can so it didn't seem that it was air big deal. if we were on the south side, i would have thought it would be where we would shade it but we are not going to. >> is there a picture of the light well somewhere? i didn't see it. >> not in my package i brought today. >> can you post that up of your light well. i mean from their building, just to get a sense of the windows. >> that is all right if you don't have it. if you were to match the 14 feet by 3 feet is that what you were talking about to the architect? >> that is correct. we did discuss that, and we did make it instead of match the 14 feet we matched 82.5% of the length. that is allowed under the code. >> what would be the impact if you went the entire 14 feet? >> we did have that at one time. the biggest impact would be in the stairs from the second floor to the first floor. i probably -- i would like to think i am a good architect. i could rearrange
