TO IMPROVE RIVER FRONT
COMMISSIONERS WILL ASK FOR
MONEY NEXT SESSION.
Estimate the Entire Amount Neces-
sary for Projected Wall Will
Reach Sc, 10000

In their next annual estimates to Con-
gress, which are in course of prepara-
ton, the Board of Commissioners will
include items providing for the improve
ment Of the entire water front Of Wash
ington and the Anacostia basin. The
amount of money to be asked by the
Commissioners has not been settled, but it
is considered likely that they will urge
an appropriation Of $4,000 to commence
operations with and ask that the re-
mainder be appropriated as the work pro-
crosses. 1t is estimated that this i'm
provement. when completed. will have
cost $2,5OO.OOO.
That the Commissioners would include
this item in their estimates was told by
Commissioner Mcfarland yesterday TO
Messrs. Thompson and Otterback of the
1AnhroSt1a Citizens Association, who call
ed upon him to ask what would be done
by the Commissioners at the coming seS-
sion of Congress with regard to the i'm
provement of the Anacostia basin. Mr..
mcfarland informed them that the Com
missioners heartily approved of the prof.
ect and that they consider it one of the
most important pieces of work that now
remains to be done for the health and
beauty of the capital.
Before undertaking the improvement of
the AnacOStia basin 1t will be necessary
for the District to purchase or condemn
a strip of land along the Potomac river
from Shepherds landing to Giesboro
Point. 1t is estimated that this land will
cost $4,000. 1t will also be necessary to
purchase or condemn a strip of land
along the Anacostia river from Giesboro
Point to Massachusetts avenue, which is
estimate at $4,000. An appropriation of
5000 will be necessary for a survey and
plans for the reclamation Of the Anacos-
tia river from Massachusetts avenue to
the District line and 5000 for the in
vestigation of the title of the United
States lands in the Anacostia basin. with
the view to preventing costly litigation.
Messrs. Thompson and Otterback said
that such action would be very gratifying
to the citizens of Anacostia, and that they
would heartily support the Commission
ers in their efforts.
Commissioner Macfarland said that he
hoped that the Board of Trade, Chamber
of Commerce. citizens associations and
other civic bodies would continue. as in
the past eight years. to support the Com
missioners in the endeavor to get this
