ment retaining wall on,the 10th street

Park, which already is encircled by a
fine macadamiyed roadway. Improve
ments have been authorized in Mont
rose Park in Georgetown, in Lafayette

bers of people use the facilities pro-
vded for outdoor sports in several of
the parks. There are fifteen baseball
diamonds, twenty-five tennis courts,

tomac Park to flank the vista between

ington Monument. Preparations are
being made for beginning the con-
struction of the parkway in the val
ley of Rock creek between Potomac
Park and the Geological and Rock
Creek parks. New roads were opened
in Rock Creek Park. Foot bridges

FAIRGROUNDS.

To some extent the year just closed
was one of arrested Development for the
m Inicipai Fairgrounds, due to the in
vestigation of alleged irregularities in the
conduct of Edgar S. Martin. former super
visor of the Fairgrounds department, and
his subsequent removal from the service.
This Office temporarily was in charge Of
-. J. Donovan, assistant auditor, VINO
conducted the investigation for the Com
m ssioners, and made "A number OF i'm
portant recommendations regarding the
future administration of the city's juvenile
recreational centers.
George NJ. Roberts of Texas was ap-
pointed successor TO Mr.. Martin, and took
charge of the Fairgrounds department
late in the summer new business sys-
TEN for the office had been installed by
Mr. Donovan, and il was not long after
the new supervisor took charge of affairs
that this department was operating
smoothly again.
In October Mr.. Roberts submitted to
the Commissioners his first report. the
principal feature OF which was that mo-
ton picture machines be installed on the
various Fairgrounds. Other recommended
tons were that swimming pools be con-
structed on all the Fairgrounds, and that
additional grounds be provided gradually
and systematically until IL properly super
Ivised place Of recreation is accessible to
every child In the District, beginning with
the more ucnSely populated SectlOf.S
where recreational facilities do not now
exist.
Industrial work was extended on the
school Fairgrounds as far as funds would
permit. This and the increase. small
though it was. in the number OF vacation
schools probably were the two most inn
portant steps taken in school playground
work.
Prior TO the opening Of the Fairgrounds
last spring. many schools. home and
ctaff nd al n
| tions held entertainments and gave plays
for raising funds for the operation Of the
grounds during the regular summer
period. In most instances the benefits
were generously patronized
Several festivals and field days were
given on the various grounds. At the
close Of the season exhibits were held
! of the work done on the respective
