Secretary Herbert Thinks 1t Should
BE at the Old Observatory Grounds.
Secretary Herbert has written letter to
Representative Hilborn of California in re-
gard to the establishment in this city of
model tank for the United States navy
Believing" he says. "that the construction
Of an experimental tank Of the character
proposed in H. r. 4045 would be Of great
use and benefit to the navy, the department
concurs in the opinion of the bureau of con-
struction and repair, and recommends the
bill in question to the favorable considera-
ton OF Congress. With regard to the loca-
ton Of such a tank, 1t appears, upon in
quiry, that for want Of room it could not be
established at the Washington navy yard:
but 1t is thought that the old observatory
grounds. which form a government reserva-
tion and are under the control of this de-
partment, would be suitable place for its
construction. In any event, if the bill here
in referred to becomes a law, the depart
ment will be glad to find location for the
construction Of the tank"

the capitals educational. system. The cost
Of Its creation and maintenance Is a proper
municipal expense, to be met under exist
ing law like other municipal outlays. In
its rational capacity and without regard to
the peculiar relation which it bears to the
capital, Congress has steadily pursued the
policy Of fostering educational Efforts, and
has given millions of acres Of public lands
and millions of dollars to the states for
educational purposes. Among these dona-
tions may be mentioned the grant of over
SOGO0,Go0 acres for state universities, near
ly 1O,NoUD0 acres for agricultural colleges,
and numerous cash g:ftst mainly from the
proceeds of public lands, aggregatins many
millions. Not a foot of public land has
ever been donated to the District for edu-
cationsl purposes.
The appeal III This case is not, however,
to the national Legislature, which has Law
i:hed millions upon state universities, for
the applica ton Of a similar liberal nolicv
to what Carlyle calls the peoples unirer-
slty. proposed in the shape Of public H.
brary for the nations city, but the appeal
is to the Districts local legislature Wash
1ngton's only common councils, for muni-
cipal legislation, which is now enioyed by
little villages in every section of the Union
through the action Of their wide-aWa!se
common councils.
The Question of Expenses.
Mr.. Richardson asked IL one-half the ex-
penses shall be borne by the general gov
ernment.
Mr.. Noyes replied that as it is a munict-
pal object the appropriation should be made
according to the law Of 1878, under which
one-half OF the expenses of the District are
charged to the government. He felt sure
tnat the board Of trade would not desire
any departure from this rule and would
rather see any municipal Improvement fail
than to have it succeed by breach of the
contract made between the government and
the District.
Concerning the amendment suggested nv
Gen. Greedy, Mr.. Noyes said the bill al
ready provides for the reception of sub-
scriptions Of books and money, and this
would cover the case of the Washington
City Library. He added that the board of
trade committee would have no objection.
however, to an amendment which would
put the bill in precisely the same shape in
which 1t had been reported from the Sem
ate District committee.
Col. Flint, as a member of the board of
trade committee, added {. few words of in
dorsement to what Mr.. Noyes had stated
to the committee and with this the hearing
came to an end.
Favorable Report Expected.
When the hearing concluded it was past
IL o'clock, and the bill was consequently
referred to the subcommittee On education,
OF which Representative Wellington is
chairman, to be reported back to the
full committee at it's, next Wednes-
Gay meeting, when acttel will be taken
upon 1t. All the expressions concerning
the measure by individual members Of the
committee were favorable TO 1t, and Chair
ure expects that it will be favorably re-
ported at the next meeting Of the commit
lee, and brought up for action in the House
on next District day.
