VIEWS ON PROPOSED
PARK At LANGDON
Commissioners Prefer Tract
Near Fort Thayer.

The District Commissioners today. sent
to Representative Mercer a reply to his
request for statement relative 10
House bill 1858, providing for the estab-
lishment OF a public park at Langdoa.
The Commissioners say:
The price named in the bill, which is
about 90 cents per fot. is very close to
the selling price of small parcels Of
land in that vicinity. The elevation Of
the tract VIII average nearly $50 feet
above the Potomac River. It is on a
hillside. and has a sweeping outlook to-
ward the city Of Washington and the
Eastern Branch II has number OF
large trees upon il. which seems 20 haV
determined its selection. bat IL is no
more favored in that respect than many
other localities in the District.
The Commissioners are Of the opin-
ion that any purchase OF ground for
park purposes should accord with some
weIl-defned park system similar 70 that
suggested by the Park Commission
which includes IN its plan a tract around
Fort Thayer. distant four blocks from
the site mentioned in this bill, and oc-
cupying ground better adapted 70 park
purposes than the site proposed
