READY TO IMPROVE
PARK RIVER FRONT
Secretary of War Transfers Strip Of
Land to Col. Cosby, Who
Will Build Roadway.

Orders were made by the Secretary Of
War yesterday transferring to Col Spen-
Ger Cosby. the engineer in charge of pub
lie buildings and grounds in the Dis
trict. jurisdiction OF a strip OF land about
200 feet wide extending around the en-
tire river and harbor front of Potomac
Park east of the railway embankment
which crossed the park on the line Of
Fourteenth Street Southwest.
The orders were issued in preparation
for improvements to be made in that
part of the park when the appropria-
tions carried for the purpose by the
civil Appropriation bill become available.
The bill carries an appropriation of SIS.
600 for a macadam road. which will be
CONSTRUCTED from the present terminus
of the speedway at the railway embank-
ment all around the peninsular which
has I6cently been reclaimed, and is now
to be improved as a part of Potomac
Park
The peninsular extends down to a point
nearly opposite Giesboro. 1t is expected
that eventually the Jurisdiction over the
whole peninsular will he given over to
Col. Cosby.
The Secretary Of War has direct
control of Potomac Park under the
act of Congress approved March 3. 1889
That act gave the park its name and
provided II always should be devoted to
the use of the public.

THE English cloths-cheviots. tweeds.
