are now stored in the storage houses on the
river front about 10000 tons Of the ma

ice-making plants will be more than
necessary to meet the demand for the

Engineer Commissioner Judson has
given his hearty approval to the request
of southeast citizens that frst-class

Title in United States-Power to

on and Other to Be Chosen.

As soon as the urgent deficiency oil,
now before Congress, becomes law the
District Commissioners can proceed with
the acquisition and occupation OF the two
widely separated tracts of land in Nlr-
ginia or Maryland, where the new penal
institutions of the District are to be
located

sioners to enable them to take title to the
workhouse and reformatory tracts IN the
name of the United States, SO as to meet
the requirements of the laws OF virginia
and Maryland with respect TO the cesslOn
Of authority over such tracts, and also to
provide for condemnation proceedings by
the Attorney General If necessary. winch
Commissioner mcfarland presented Tor
the Commissioners. to the leaders of the
two houses of Congress. has been incor-
porated in the urgent deficiency DILL
1t was in the first place embodied IN
that bill at the suggestion or commission
er Mcfarland when il was reported from
he House committee on apprOpfla tons.
On a point of order, raised when the bill
was under consideration in the House. the
latter half of the paragraph which related
to the condemnation proceedings was
stricken out, SO that what was left reads
as follows:
"The titles to the tracts of land to be
purchased for a workhouse and a reform
atory provided in the act approved March
>. 1909. being An act making approprla-
tons to provide for the expenses OF the
government of the District of Columbia
for the fiscal year ending June 80 1910.
and for other purposes shall be taken
directly to and in the name Of the United
States
When the bill passed the House and
eached the Senate Commissioner Mac
farland took up the matter there and the
committee on appropriations reported as
an amendment the rest of the paragraph,
reading as follows:
and in case satisfactory price cannot
be agreed upon for the purchase of either
or both of said tracts. or in case the title
to either or both of said trades cannot
be made satisfactory to the Attorney
General of the United States. then the
latter is directed TO procure said tract OF
tracts Of land by condemnation, and the
expenses of procuring evidence of title,
or of condemnation, or both, shall be
paid out of the appropriations made for
the purchase of the tracts
This was adopted in the Senate and will
remain in the bill and it will enable the
Commissioners to proceed at once with
the acquisition of the tracts of land.
The site for the workhouse has already
been selected at Occoquan, Va, and the
other. that for the reformatory, is to be
selected from two or three sites in Mary
land. The taking of title to the Occoquan
land awaits the passage of the deficiency
bill.
The Commissions are DESTROYS to know
tain the sites as quickly as possible. so
as to transfer the prisoners to them and
get the temporary quarters under way.
Meanwhile plans for the permanent con-
structions are being matured by Architect
Leon f. Dessez.
