IMPROVING THE GROUNDS.
Government to Fill in Potomac Park
North of Tidal Reservoir.

Every effort will be made by the govern
ment officials, 1t is said, to fill in that por-
ton of Potomac Park situated in the Poto-
mac river north of the tidal reservoir to
9th street northwest In the spring and
during the summer. This park forms a
part of what was originally known as the
Potomac fats, and which have since been
reclaimed along the Potomac river front
to a point opposite the confluence of the
main river and the Eastern branch. That
part of the park south of the tidal basin
has already been filled in and trees have
been planted, giving it neat and pic
turesque appearance.
During the past year the District street
cleaning department. the bureau Of engrav-
ing and printing, the Department Of Agri-
culture and public and private contractors
have been taking advantage of the privi-
lege extended by the--War Department
under whose supervision this park comes,
and have been dumping large quantities
OF unobjectionable refuse on that portion
Of the park, which has aided considerably
the filling-in process. The District Com
missioners received word from the War
Department today announcing that 1t has
withdrawn the privilege, and the commu-
ndcatfon also stated that as soon as the
weather will permit dredging boats will be
put to work on the channel Of the Potomac
river above the tidal basin, and the dirt
and mud scooped from the bottom of the
channel will be deposited on the park, and
in this way the engineers in charge Of the
work anticipate that the flats will be rap
idly filed.
