ANACOST|A SCHEME
|. IS TO Be CHANGED
Notifications Approved by
Secretary of War and
Chief of Engineers.
CONSTRUCTION OF A DAM
DROPPED FROM THE PLANS
Creation of Lake Still Provided
For. But on a Smaller
9 Scale.


War and Gen. Black, chief of engineers
of the army, important notifications
have been made in the project for
Transforming the valley Of the Anacos-
tia river, from the Anacostia bridge,
near the navy yard, to the District line
just this side of the ancient village of
Bladensburg, a distance OF about five
miles, into a great park for the rscrea
ton of the people.
The original plan of improvement
adopted in 1918 provided for damming
the river on the line of Massachusetts,
avenue extended, and forming a neat
lake, dotted with islands, extending as
far as the District line near the Ma
tional Training School for Boys. The
dam was to be eight feet above mean
low water Between 1t and the Anacos-
tia bridge the river was to be confined
between sea walls eight feet high and
the lake above the dam was to be sur
rounded by low walls and gravel banks,
according to conditions.
Decide to Change Plan.
Subsequent studies of the situation
convinced army engineers that the sug-
gested damming of the river. with the
heavy flow of sediment from the upper
reaches. would increase the growth of
AQUATIC plants in the big shallow basin
created and practically nullify the steps
taken for the reclamation OF the NAL
odorous fats now infesttng the bed OF
the stream. 1t has been decided. there
fore, to eliminate the idea of dam and
to proceed with the improvement On
different basis.
Under the plans as modified and now
