house Is Sent to
Congress.

The Secretary of the Treasury yester-
day submitted to Congress an estimate
Of appropriations aggregating Sl45.OOC
for the purchase Of additional land and
a fireproof workshop and storehouse for
the Bureau of Standards. 1t is proposed
hv the Secretary to purchase the land
now surrounding the present side OF the
building used by the bureau. In a letter
accompanying the estimate the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor urged that this
land should be under the control OF the
government in order to prevent its de-
velopment by private parties.
The work of the bureau is such, says
the Secretary of Commerce and Labor,
that traffic or buildings should not be
allowed within several hundred feet of
its laboratories. 1t is declared that
should the government fail to purchase
this land now it will rapidly increase in
value, and will ultimately result in a
greater expense to the government.
OF the sum which it is proposed to use
for the building, slOO.OOO goes to the con-
struCtiOn of the cdifice itself, and $45, 900
for the purchase OF the necessary land.

FLAT RECLAMATION
UP TO CONGRESS
Work Cannot Go on Until Govern
ment Gets Title to Land Along
the Anacostia River.

An effort is being made to hasten ac-
ton on the bill introduced in Congress
giving TO the government title to a mar
row strip of land along the banks OF the
Anacostia River from the Anacostia
Bridge to the District line. This bill
which has been pending in committee
for some time. must become a law. It
was stated yesterday. before the plans
for the reclamation OF the Anacostia
flats by the beard OF engineer officers,
comprising Coils. Langfitt. Judson. and
Cosby. can be put into action.
In order that the attention OF Con-
gress might be called to the matter, Mai
Gen. BiXby, Chief OF Engineers. in a
report made public yesterday. gave the
following opinion:
owing to the fact that the shores OF
the Anacostia River are largely owned
by private parties, It has been difficult
TO decide on what work the available
funds can be expended to the greatest
advantage. 1t is at present impossible
to take a dredging plant above the Penn
sylvania Avenue Bridge, as that bridge
has no draw. and the board has hesi-
tated to recommend action to procure a
draw until a complete project for the
improvement has been adopted and the
character of future navigation above the
Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge has been
determined.
The District Commissioners, in Coop
Grafton, with the board of officers in
charge of this improvement. have Sc
cured the introduction OF a bill in Con-
gress which provides for procuring title
to a narrow strip Of land along the high
water line Of Anacostia River from the
Anacostia Bridge to the District line and
one man who owns property in Anacostia
near the Anacostia Bridge offered to deed
a strip along the high-water line in order
to expedite the work OF Improvement As
the adjoining owners have not Indicated
their willingness to cooperate in like
manner, 1t is impossible at present 10
