Funds for Improvement.

John Hadley Doyle, reporting on the
prospect for the Improvement of the
high reservoir site. stated that the sit
uation had been brought to the atten-
ton of Col. Harris. in charge of pub
lie buildings and grounds. Col. Harris
had explained that $1,000 was now
available for Improvement of the site
for park purposes; that as much more
would be asked Of Congress, and that,
if a statue were to be placed at any
time in Georgetown, the availability
of the high reservoir site would be
remembered.
The organization went on record as
favoring a concrete instead of, as con-
templated, wooden floor over the NJ
street bridge.

Site Well Adapted.

1t is proposed to construct on the
southeastern side of the basin Stop
ing, sardy beach and frame bath
house This location is well adapted
owing to its proximity to the street
ears and its situation on the direct
course of the current of fresh water
between the inlet and outlet gates or
the basin.
This, it is said, will insure a change OF
water at the beach twice in every twenty
four hours. Approximately 1o0,000,ooO
gallons of water, or one-third of the en-
tire amount in the basin, is changed every
twelve hours
To make the bathing entirely safe, it is
planned to install at the inlet gate a
simply chlorine station to purify the water
as it enters the basin.
Senator Norris of Nebraska is the father
of the plan for large public bathing
beach at the tidal basin, and for the last
four or five years he has labored earnest

Approved by Health Service.

This phase of the question has been
examined into carefully, however, by
the public health service, and while the
water is not absolutely free from pol
luton, it easily can be made entirely
safe to battle in, according to the re-
port of the service.
The item in the sundry civil bill is
identical with an amendment offered
by Senator Norris to the, District APP
preparation bill and adopted by the
Senate. 1t provides $4,000 to carry out
the plans for the bathing beach. While
the conferees of the Senate and House
on the District bill were entirely favor
able to the Norris amendment, it was
decided that 1t would be more appro-
pirate to have the item carried in the
sundry civil bill, since the bathing
beach will be entirely on government
property and under the control of the
War Department.
