NAVY YARD NEEDS TRACTS.
Resolution Would Give D. C. Com
missioners Right to Transfer Land.

Two small tracts of land near the navy
yard, now owned by the District of CO.
lumbia. are desired by the Navy Depart
ment for navy yard purposes and a joint
resolution to give the Commissioners
power to make deed to the government
has been introduced by Representative
Padgett, chairman of the naval affairs
committee of the House
A previous act of Congress already has
enlarged the navy yard site and the two
small bits OF land owned by the District
are needed to complete the deal. 1t was
thought the original act charging the
site might not contain power under which
the Commissioners could make a deed.
