BOTANIC GARDEN MAY
co TO POTOMAC PARK
Proposed as Temporary Location
Until Congress Takes Def
mite Action.
Permanent Site in Rock Creek, Max
ing Large Extensions Possible,
Has Strong Advocates.

Pending the selection by Congress of
the site of the permanent home of the
| Botanic Garden, now at the east end
of the Mall near the Capitol, it is posi-
BILE that the establishment may be located
/ temporarily in the nex part of Potomac
Park. east of the Pennsylvania railroad
| embankment. The Senate committee on
| library. which with the House commit
tee library has jurisdiction over the
Botanic Garden, has proposition to
that effect under consideration. Officials
Of the War Department having jurisdic-
ton over Potomac Park have been
sounded on the proposition and Gen.
kingman, chief Of engineers, and Col.
Harts, the officer in charge Of public
buildings and grounds. have reported that
the proposed transfer is perfectly feasi-
BILE and in many respects desirable
The necessity for early action in the
premises lies in the fact tha: the marble
memorial to Gen. Grant in the Botanic
Garden is nearing completion. and ar
rangementS are being made FOR Its ded-
cation. with elaborate military and civic
ceremonies. during the comin@, autumn.
May Go to Rock Greek.
The approved plans for that memorial
involve the use Of the entire territory
now occupied by the palm building, green
houses etc. of the Botanic Garden, as
well as the ground occupied by the large
Bartholdi fountain in the north section
of the reservation. The House commit
tee on library has reported in favor of a
bill providing for the transfer of the
garden to Rock Creek Park. with view
to its development on q large scale. The
site favored is the hill on which Camp
Good VIII Is located, near the line of
18th street extended, Just ';orth of the
Military road.
During the consideration of the sub
ject by the Senate committee library
it was pointed out that the development
Of d suitable botanic garden commensu-
rate with the other activities of the gov
ernment Is a work Of national impor-
tance involving large areas and the ex-
penditure of considerable money. In
order to allow time for further study and
cons deration of the many important
questions involved in suck an under
taking, and at the same drle permit of
the execution Of the plans for the dedica-
ton of the Grant memorial this fall, II
was proposed to transfer the garden
temporarily to Potomac Park and settle
the question of its permanent home at
n future date. In response 10 an inquiry
from the Senate committee as to the
probable cost of the trarsfer of the
garden to Potomac Park, Cot. HartS esti-
mated that it would cost about $4,000
to house and shelter the bic plants

erect the Bartholdi fountain.
