Chief Justice Suggests Disposal of
Military Reservations Abandoned.

Chief Justice Taft would have his
toric military reservations no longer
needed by the federal government
turned over to states or municipalities
which desire to preserve them in

The unusual appearance of Chief
Justice before a congressional com
