and the same are herebv made and de-
cIared a public park under the name OF

Development Plans.
ITO meet suggestions which have been
made by members of the Committee on
Appropriations of the House of Repre-
sentatives, a comprehensive plan has
been prepared here for the development
of East Potomac Park as public recrea-
tlon grounds, and will be submitted in
a few days. This plan provides base
ball grounds. tennis courts golf courses.
and facilities for other out-of-door rec
reatiOns which this city now lacks, and
cal well-being of its people.
To devote any portSon of these
grounds to the purposes mentioned here
In will render them unfit for the uses to
which they have been dedicated and de-
feat the purposes of Congress, as the
drilling of cavalry and the evolutions Of
artillery will cut up the turf and destroy
the grounds for recreation purposes.
Only Objection.
"Theb only objection to the use OF
the grounds at Fort Myer Is stated to
be their inconvenience of access. but
it does not appear to be incumbent
upon the department OF parks to
remedy this by permitting the use OF
park areas which have been dedicate /
to other purposes. Moreover, 1t is be-
lieved that their uCe as drill grounds
would have to be specifically author
lied by Congress before such use
could be permitted There are no
other areas under the charge of this
office which would be suitable for
drill grounds that could be put to the
uses suggested In the application.
For the foregoing reasons It il
recommended that the within request
be denied.

do not believe 1t feasible to attempt
to utilize Potomac Park for the pur-
pose you suggest
