PARK WORK HAL TED
BY LACK OF FUNDS
Money Not Available for the
Proposed Connection Of Po.
tomac and Rock Creek Park

There is no appropriation available
for work on the proposed connecting
parkway along Rock creek from Poto-
mac TO Rock Creek parks
Comptroller Of the Treasury Trace
we'll has made public a decision 10
this effect, rendered to the Secretary
of the Treasury. The Comptroller held
that the act authorizing the creation
Of the new park made no direct appro-
priation. and consequently there Is 10
money available. The authorization, he
said, of the expenditure of $l,S00. oG)
was an authorization only, and not an
appropriation. It being tho practice of
Congress to authorize public buildings
and land requirement In the omnibus
public buildings bill. and to appropri-
ate for them in a second enactment,
usually The sundry civil bill. The
Comptroller also held that so far rs
he, knew, there was no other appro-
priation available for the park
Consequently the actual requirement
Of the land will have to wait on an
appropriation. though the work of sur.
vey and preparation can continue.
