quest for a 5000 appropriation to sent
| the local high school cadets to a milf
| tary training camp next summer. Com
missioner Brownlow said that severa
desirable locations in the vicinity o.
Washington are under consideration fol-
the camp should the appropriation bt
granted.
A total Of 1856, 900 is asked to start
new municipal Institutions. including a
trash and garbage plant. a new Wash
inGton Asylum Hospital, a municipal
Occoquan and a power plant to supply
all the buildings al Occoquan.
The ground for the new municipal
hospital has been purchased at Four
teenth and Upshur streets northwest, and
the Commissioners are asking a first
appropriation of sl5O.oOo to begin its
erection. The several citizens associa-
tions in that vicinity have been fighting
the location of the hospital in that section
for six months. 1t is hardly likely.
however, that the plans of the Com
missioners can be changed now.
If the Commissioners request for the
purchase Of the Dean tract, in the north
west, and the Patterson estate. In north
east. are granted the city will be almost
encircled in beautiful parks. A map of
the park system of the National Capital
shows that the addition of these two
tracts would complete a natural fan of
parks.
Aimed to Help Cildren.
The real motive behind the request.
however, is to give relief TO the children
of the two sections in which these tracts
are located. The Commissioners point
out that in summer the children of the
northeast are in pitiful plight for want
of breathing space. and the section sur
rounding the Dean tract are in practically
the same situation. The Dean tract will
cost $685. 900. the Patterson tract 500. 900.
A total of $4,000 is requested for ad-
ditional school facilities. which includes
100000 to start erection of a new Federal
High School.
Other school requests are: $4,000 for
an eiGht-room addition to the Elizabeth
V. Brown School. Chevy Chase: $50. 600 for
