Estimates Kept Secret.

-t.
The Commissioners are prohibited from
making public the estimates, this
privilege icing one that is exercised by
Congress, so that the exact nature of
recommendations made and the amounts
called for will not be known until Con-
gress meets in December.
+ There has been no .intimation as to
what parks will be recommended. but the
Commissioners are believed to. have con-
sidered with favor a request that pro-
vision be made for survey OF land In
the southeast section, bordering on Oxon
run, with a view to the ultimate ac-
into a public park. The land in question
is said to comprise the last section In
proximity to Washington that could be
considered for park purposes because OF
its natural beauty. It's topography is
somewhat similar to that of Rock Creek
Park. and the suggestion has been made
to the Commissioners that they acquire
this property before 1t is utilized for COM
mercial purposes.
In accordance with instructions from
Congress. the District heads will transmit
to that body. in conjunction with the esti-
mates, a statement as to the cost of con-
structing municipal swimming pools. one
for white persons, to be located In the
tidal basin, and the other for colored
swimmers to be located in the AnacOstia
river.
Supt. w. B. Hudson OF the municipal
swimming beach, has recommended that
swimming pools be established on play
grounds in the various sections of the
city 1t is not known whether the Com
n,issioners will suggest the desirability of
this plan to Congress.
One of the largest items for which
proyision will be made in the .esti-
mates will call for an appropriation
Of about 100000 with which to be-
gin work on the proposed harnessing
OF the water power at Great Falls.
That an initial appropriation of this
amount be made is the recommends
ton of Col Langfitt, Corps of Engi-
neers, u. S. A.. whose report on the
Great Falls project shows that the
District can utilize to ADVANTAGE this
proposed scheme for lighting and other
purposes. The Commissioners are
understood to be heartily in favor of
the plan.
There Is every indication that the
Commissioners will be able to COM
plete the estimates in time to transmit
them to the Secretary of the Treasury
by next Wednesday. October Is, be-
ing the date established by law by
which the estimates must be in the
hands of that official. The total amount
to be carried in the budget probably
will be in excess of $14.GOO,0OO OF
this sum it lis understood that about
$3,5O0,000 will represent the share of
the board of education and about ST.
100000 the allotment of the board of
charities.
