President HimmeI speaks

Rev. Joseph Himmel, s j., president
Of Georgetown University, expressed him
self yesterday as being heartily in favor
Of the project 10 open up Rock Creek
Park and make It better known 10 the
citizens Of Washington.
There is no doubt in my mind" he
said. but what the movement that has
been set on foot by The Washington
Herald TO popularize Rock Creek Park
will eventually and speedily reach a
successful conclusion. Il certainly has
praiseworthy object. the affordinp the
people OF the city beautiful and annie
space for their rest and athletic sports.
The park at present is comparatively
useless, and only benefits the aesthetic
sense Of small proportion Of the citi-
zens"
William H. Andrews. Delegate in Con-
gress from New Mexico is IN perfect az
cord with The Washington Herald's
movement TO popularlze Rock Creek
Park and make il accessible TO the peo-
pie
The park is intended for the people
and should. therefore. be made accessible
10 them. Transportation facilities should
be so that the place can easily be reached
LAOlA any part VI lhe city mere Is only
one other suggestion I would like to make
and that is that the strip Of iaad which
was offered 20 Congress at the last ses-
sion should be bought and incorporated
in the limits Of the park. It comprises
about 400 acres and borders on tho rark.
and will have TO be bought some time. It
might as well be done now. In all other
ideas regarding the movement, I am in
thorough accord with The Washington
Herald"

a firm believer in the INTERPRETATION be-

seQuently believes Rock Creek Park
should be placed within the reach OF the

The city no doubt needs a great pop
ular park ALI that remains 20 be done
al Rock Creek IS 70 extend one or two
car tracks; the park IS already there
I do not see how II is possible 10 delay
this work much longer. II there Is no
strong public demand for better facilities
there will be one developed very soon

Of the city viii be incalculable"
