Major Richard Sylvester
The majority of the committee ask
that the square bounded by Fourteenth

the Government. but Major Sylvester
believes the Sherman property, at Thir-
teenth Street and Florida Avenue. best
adapted naturally. and because Of its
proximity to a hospital, which reduces
its value as residence property.

says the petition, has for some years
been felt. and frequently mentioned;
but latterly, as buildings are lining the
streets, the vacant spaces becoming

Congress for aid to procure such a park
has become urgent. and. therefore. we
confidently ask your honorable board to
make recommendation in your next re-
port for suitable. legislation to effectu-

public benefit would be subserved by the

park and the desirability OF its imme-

rather submit TO bonds being issued for

of such bonds. than to have their hope
OF its acquisition deferred for years, and
