other Recommendations.

In connection with the condemnation
of streets and alleys Mr.. Hazen pro-
poses that more equitable plan
would be to suspend the collection of
benefits in condemnation cases until
streets are graded. regulated or other
wise improved for travel.
He states, however, that he is op-
posed to the idea of deferring condem-
nation of streets until there is an ap-
preparation for their physical improve
ment This. he says, would seriously
embarrass the Commissioners in car
rying out the highway plan in an or
derly manner
The report recommends that the
Comm issioners secure legislation pro-
viding for the condemnation of all ex-
listing rights of way in Barry Farm,
Anacostia. These rights of way are
privately owned and have so existed
since 1867. This community has long
been neglected, asserts the surveyor.

lieve this unsatisfactory condition.

Glass of Balloons to Be Used.

The two spherical balloons to be pur-
chased will be Of the ordinary free
flight type as distinguished from the
kite, or captive balloons, of use for OBJ
servation purposes. Maj. Chandler has
made many balloon flights. and while
the military uses of such air craft are
somewhat limited, they are regarded as
essential for the training of officers
who may later command dirigible air
craft, possibly huge battleships of the
air, like the Zeppelins Germany is using
to lombard London and other British
cities
The captive balloons are of particular
value in spotting artillery fire, and will
be employed to some extent at the ar
tillery school. Fort Sill, Okla, in train
Jag of observers FOR this work.
There is no present intention of en-
tering upon the construction for the
army Of airships of the Zeppelin type.
Small di!igibles win be sought for the
new branch of the aviation section as
its development progresses: but il will
require the establishment of a new pol
icy by the department If the bigger
craft are 20 be developed. In that
event Il is thought probable a separate
service would be created to handle this
portion! Of the ali feet. as the Zeppelins
are regarded as having no place in the

Balloons Also to Be Tried.

Army aviation officers are preparing
to carry their campaign for the de-
velopment of the air service into the
field of balloons and other lighter
than-air craft
Maj. Charles de F. Chandler of the
Signal Corps, who has had many years
of practical experience with balloons,
has been appointed+ head OF a new ,di-
vision created in the aviation section
of the Signal Corps. All matters per
tanning to free and captive balloons,
dirigibles, hydrogen generating plants
and the like will hereafter be under
his charge. He is now in New York
assembling a staff of officers to aid
him, prepa tory to the establishment
of a school for the training of officers
and men for the balloon service sim
liar to the aeropiane training stations.
Bids have been advertised for two
spherical and two kite balloons, which
will be the first equipment for the new
branch of the aviation service. With
the funds for aviation work made
availab by Congress it is planned to
add additional balloons or dirigibles
as rapidly as the men to handle and
care for them can be trained.
The balloon school probably will he
established at Fort Omaha. Neb.. or pos
sibIy Akron, Ohio, where it is expected
the first balloon equipment for the

company there is cooperating with the

Would Buy Klingle Road Valley.

Mr.. Hazen also recommends the ac-
QUESTION of klingle Road valley, from
Geological Park east of Connecticut
avenue following the valley westerly
until it connects with the park system
running northerly. just east of the
Naval Observatory. There are much
agitation concerning this proposition
during the last session of Congress
and the surveyor expresses the opinion
that recommendation by the Commits
sioners would lead to an appropriation
for the park.
The surveyor again recommends an
appropriation for survey to determine
the cost of acquiring the sites occupied
by forts during the civil war and OF
building connecting boulevards be-
tween the same. These old fortifica-
ton points. including Fort Stevens,
where President Lincoln was under
fire, form ring about the city. They
are situated on high ground and a
boulevard connecting them would. Mr..
HaZen States offer a magnificent view
of the city. the rivers and Alexandra

P|NEY BRANCH PARKWAY
EXTENSION IS PROPOSED
Recommended by District Surveyor
Melvin C. Hazen in His Annual
Report to Commissioners.

Extension of Piney Branch parkway
and other important park and street
improvements are recommended by
Melvin C. Hazen, District surveyor, in
his annual report to the District Com
missioners. made public today.
This parkway extends from Rock
Creek Park to 18th street, with a width of
approximately 400 feet, but ends abb
ruptly at the west side of 10th street.
According to the surveyor, it should
be continued up the valley to the
Municipal Hospital in order to make a
connection from the hospital by way
of Piney Branch road to 18th street and
Geological Park, and as now provided
by legislation, along Rock creek to
Potomac Park. The land has much
natural beauty, he states. but is be-
coming a dump and eventually will
become menace to health, if present
conditions continue.

800 New Aeroplanes.

This means that in place of the small
collection of aeroplanes now possessed
by the army and navy. there will be at
least 500 new planes for the army and
a complete equipment for the navy
During the discussion of the army and
navy appropriation bills in the last Con-
gress, attention was ca. led frequently to
the fact that while the United States is
the birthplace OF the flying machine, this
country has been left in a ridiculous
position in the rear, with scarcely
bakers dozen of war aeroplanes which
could be depended on for sustained
flights
or the 300 new planes ordered by the
war Department nearly 100 are of
of special school type for use at the
regular army training school at San
Diego. Cal. and the National Guard
school at Mineola, N y, and Chicago.
The others are of Reconnaissance 'pur-
suit and battle types. The machines
are to deyelop a power ranging from
eighty to 200 horse

Campaign for Enlistments.

Signal Corps officers say that with
this increased equipment in prospect
an enlistment campaign would begin
within a few days for aviators The
last of the 200 machines which have
been ordered are to be delivered within
i41 days. and most of the contracts call
for much earlier delivery
Nearly all of the craft are to be BIZ
planes. and large number will be of
the Curtiss type A few triplanes have
been ordered for the purpose. it is un-
derstood, of testing the availability of
that type for army use.
Under the reorganization bill Ma
tional Guard aviators Will be given
training in flying under the direction
of officers attached to the Signal Corps
of the regular army, but National
Guard units in order to meet federal
requirements, must supply their own
requisite number of machines as part
of the permanent equipment without
federal aid.
