RECLAMATION OF FLATS
URGED BY ANAC0STIANS
Hugh T. Taggart Gives History Of
Eastern Section of District and
Pleads for Improvement.

Hugh T. Taggart before a largo au-
dience of members and friends of the
Anacostia Citizens Association last even
riod from the days when King Ana
costian. Indian chief, ruled the section
now called after that tribe to the pres
ent time. He stated that it was his de-
sire that a definite plan be adopted and
that work then be earnestly begun to
that end on the reclamation project.
THE width of this proposed harbor
should be more than the present width
at the Potomac water front, in order to
avert the same congested conditions that
are now experienced in this channel, y
said Mr.. Taggart.
He cited facts showing that at one
time the Eastern branch was one OF
the greatest harbors in the country, and
read from history when the first large
BladenSburg landing with large cargo
for foreign lands, and spoke of the navi-
cation of the river.
William +. Guide, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, also spoke along
the same lines. Mr.. Guide stated that
Washington had a good chance to hod
the Panama canal exposition about five
years hence, and 1t was his hope ano
belief that at that time the AnacoStia
fats would have been converted into 9
beautiful park. the same as the Potomac

EXPOSITION IS PROMOTED
COMMITTEE TO SOUND CON-
GREsS AND GET FIGURES.
Whether Potomac Park Is Available
as Site to Be Ascertained-Dis-
cussion Of Project.

Definite steps looking to the celebra-
ton of the Panama canal opening in
l9l5 In Washington were taken yester-
day at meeting of the committees an
pointed by the Board of Trade and the
Chamber OF Commerce to consider the
matter.
A subcommittee of the two commit
tees was appointed by H. B. +. Macfar-
land. chairman of the Chamber of Com
merce committee. vino presided at the
meeting yesterday in the Chamber of
Commerce. to gather data concerning the
proposed celebration and attendant ex-
position.
This subcommittee will endesvor to
learn the attitude of Congress toward the
plan of holding the celebration in Wash
ington. It will also figure out just how
much such a celebration and exposition
would cost il given here. The question
whether Potomac Park could be used for
the exposition will also be taken up by
the committee.
The subcommittee consists of Z. c.
oenpurg OF the Board of Trade, James f.
Oyster, Charles J. Bell and Robert n.
Harper of the Chamber Of Commerce.
1t is expected that this subcommittee will
make its reports to the full committee
within the next two weeks and that then
the joint committee of the two trade
bodies will report back to them their find-
ings.
1t is the opinion Of the joint committee
that, with the backing Of the citizens OF
Washington. an exposition could be given
here that would rival the greatest EXPOSE
ton ever held in this country. That Con-
gress will have to give It's seal of approval
to holding the exposition here is true.
But already many members have sigpi-
fed their intention OF supporting the plan.
Mr.. Mcfarland called attention to the
fact that no matter where the celebration
of the canal opening was held the gov
ernment would be called upon to appro-
pirate for 1t. He said that the govern
ment, by spending its money In Washing
ton, could obtain permanent Improve
lnents IN the National Capital. which need
not necessarily be charged to the expos1-
ton, but which would be a benefit for all
time.
..4r. Graham was of opinion that the
celebration could be held here more
cheaply than anywhere else. owing to the
fact that there was SO much government
property here which could be utilized.
