ley near Sheridan and Bowen Roads, the
entrance being on Nicholas Avenue. The
complaint was referred to the Police De-
partment, and a report has been submit
ted by Lieutenant McCathran, to the ef-
feet that there are now two parks in the
vicinity of Anacostia for the use of color
ed people, and he thinks that the estab-
lishment of third would be creating un-
necessary annoyance to the people of
Anacostia. He is of the opinion that the
resort should not be allowed to proceed.
