MT. PLEASANT PARK
CITIZENS ANXIOUS FOR SENATOR
STEWARDS BILL TO PASS.
Recommendation by the District Com
missioners, Also Detailed In
formation as to the Ground.

The bill introduced by Senator Stewart Of
Nevada for the condemnation of the tri-
angle formed by 10th street extended. Mount
Pleasant street and Kenesaw avenue, for
the purpose of public park, seems to have
awakened a hearty interest In Its favor on
the part Of citizens living in that growing
part Of the national capital.
It is understood that local company has
designs on part Of the property In question
to be used as site for an apartment house.
The people of Mount Pleasant do not take
kindly to the idea Of an apartment house
being erected there If there Is any posi-
bility Of having a public park.
They argue that. even IL 1t Is not con-
gested part of the national capital, the time
may come. likely will. when park will be
an absolute necessity.
They point to other cities where, In the
most congested parts valuable property has
been condemned and public breathing places
established. Under those conditions 1t Is a
costly thing to do To establish a park now
Is comparatively inexpensive.
Senator Stewart introduced his bill No
vember %. and since that time there has
been much interest manifested by the peo-
pie of Mount Pleasant and by the many
persons in other parts Of the District an to
its probable fate.
The bill provides for the expenditure OF
not to exceed 340,000 by condemnation pro-
ceedlngs. The Attorney General upon re-
quest of the Secretary of the Interior, II
authorized and directed to make applica-
tlon TO the Supreme Court Of the District

this triangle the sidewalk is ten feet wide
with no parking space: on the east the side
walk Is to be fifteen feet wide. with forty
feet of parking, and on the west 1t Is plan
ned to have ten feet of sidewalk and ten
feet of parking.
THE area of sidewalk and parking given
Jointly is 1000 square feet on the north.
5000 square feet on the west and 2I 800
square feet on the east, or a total of 81, 500
square feet. The ground on the Forth and
west was acquired through donation and
through condemnation where the assess
ment about equaled the damages.
1.-THE ground on the east was acquired
through condemnation of 10Th street, in
which adjacent property was assessed for
ne-seventh of the cost and the rest paid by
the District. The United States has stood
no part of the expense of acquiring the
81 500 square feet therein described"
The people of Mt. Pleasant are more than
anxious that the bill shall not go by de-
fault They feel that the rapid growth of
the city and the vast improvements to be
made in the northwest section demand that
the city beyond Florida avenue shall be in
keeping with the older sections.
Not only are the people of Mt Pleasant
interested. but every citizen of the District
of Columbia who desires that the national
capital shall not be behind other cities In
the march of progress.

It also provides that the court may direct

Mr.. Macfarland's Recommendation.
Mr. Henry B. F. mcfarland, president of
the board of District Commissioners, De-
cember 10, wrote Senator Gallinger. chair
man of the committee on the District OF
Columbia. letter. in which he said:
Sixteenth street is to be a great boule-
ward and it seems proper that such small
triangles adjacent thereto should be pur-
chased by the United States. so as to ex-
tend outside of the city of Washington the
system of parks which has proven to bene-
f1clal to the city proper.
1.-THE triangfes within the city limits are
the property of the United States and con-
stitute one Of the great beauties of the
streets of Washington, and the property in
the vicinity OF such reservations Is usually
built up with handsome structures.
TT is probable that If this land Is not
purchased within the near future
buildings will be erected upon it, so that If
the purchase is not made now the ultimate
cost Will be very much greater. The Com
missioners therefore, recommend favorable
consideration of the bill as submitted
Further Information Furnished.
Several weeks after the bill was intro
duced In the Senate Senator Stewart wrote
to the Commissioners for further informa-
ton regarding the ground, and received a
reply from Commissioner Mcfarland. in
which the latter said:
1.-THE Commissioners Of the District of Co
iumbia have the honor to make the follow
ing response to your request for statement
OF the amount Of ground there II on the
several sides Of the triangle at Kenesaw

Difficulties and objections are always met
with In carrying on evangelistic work of
this character, and in order to deal effect
lively with such the band will devote a part
of each regular meeting to instructions upon
these subjects by some one experienced in
such work, and the members will be ex-
pected to regard 1t as an important part of

Naval Estimates Discussed.

The naval appropriation bill was taken up
yesterday by the House committee on naval
affairs Rear Admiral Taylor, chief Of tho
bureau of navigation. was heard on his es-
Inmates. The admiral recommends that
5000 additional enlisted men be provided
for. this number being necessary to man
the new naval ships. On account of the
new system of target practice invented by
Lieut. Sims. the proficiency of the men be-
hind the guns had been greatly increased
during the past year. The system gives
practice equivalent to 2.000-yard shots for
a cost Of cents each.

SOME INTERESTING ITEMS FROM
THE BIG --oRKsHoP.
Something About the Document Divis-
ion-The Mutual Relief-Woman
Candidate for Delegate Notes.

The ninth annual report of Mr.. L. G. Fer
rell superintendent of documents, Is
pretty good index not only of the growth of
the output of the big print shop. but also
of the steady increase of the public demand
for government publications. The report
shows that during the fiscal year ended
June 80 last his Office received 900. 1873 doc
uments, and distributed through the vari-
Gus agencies for that period 1894 The
total number of documents on hand June
30 last, including those on hand July l, 1902.
amounted to 1872. O93 On June 80 last his
office had $50, 719 documents on hand, show
ing an increase Of ,S25 for the fiscal
year.
Mr.. Terrell volunteers some practical sug-
gestions in his report Among other things,
he says:
There is a real necessity for a law au-
thorizing the superintendent Of documents
to order printed extra editions Of docu-
nents required for sale, especially of the
popular and cheap bulletins published by
the Department of Agriculture. Last year
office was returned to the remitters because
the documents could not be supplied. bill
was reported favorably by the House COM
mittee on printing in the Fifty-seventh
print and deliver to the superintendent of
documents for sale 1000 extra copies OF
each bulletin issued by the Department OF
Agriculture.
Popular Demand for Books.
Some. idea Of the popular demand for
government publications can be obtained
from the following statement. which forms
part OF Mr.. Ferrelrs report: Yearbooks.
1855 copies; Special Report on Diseases Of
the Horse. 1900 copies; Special Report on
Diseases Of Cattle, 1904 copies Botany Bull

an extent these documents are sought by
people In all the walks Of life and from
