House Votes to Continue
Policy of Acquiring Land
for Parking.

After three hours debate the House
decided today to continue the policy OF
acquiring land for parking purposes be-
Iween the Capitol grounds and the
Union Station. Congressman Sisson Of
Mississippi offered an amendment to
the sundry civil appropriation bill to re-
peal the act of 1910, which authorized
the condemnation of the land at the
rate of 100000 year
The amendment drew forth headted
remarks concerning the policy that the
Government should adopt with refer
ence to the beautifcation OF Washing
ton and no less fervent remarks about
the parliamentary rules involved.
Washington was extolled as the most
beautiful city of the greatest nation by
one speaker and pitIed as the stamping
ground of a host of real estate oper-
Gtors by another; the need of parks and
fine boulevards was urged by one. while
another declared that there are now 30
many parks here that one can easily
become lost
Congressman Huh said that the sec
ton OF the city in which the land in
volved In condemnation PROCEEDINGS is
situated Is depreciating in value and
that the existing measure offered the
owners an opportunity to unload
property on the Government which
they could not sell at a good price to
anyone else.
Slssons amendment which would
nave stopped the entire policy Of Con
sress in extending the parking system
OF the city, was first defeated % 10
81. Tellers were then sought, and on
teller vote the amendment was de-
feated SO to 90.
Sisson subsequently offered two
other amendments. hoping to reduce
the area which Congress is to ACQUIRE
one OF these amendments was ruled
