Extension of Arlington Cemetery
And Restoration of Mansion Urged
Fine Arts Commission and War Department Officials
Study Beautifying Plans-$IO 900 Proposed
as Proper Fund at Start

Comprehensive plans for the i'm
provement- and development of Ar
lington cemetery, the sacred resting
place of the nations heroic dead, are
being closely studied by officials of
the War Department and the Commits
sion of Fine Arts.
Probably the most important fea-
ture of the general project under con-
sideration is material extension of
the ground area of the existing cem-
etery ultimately by the inclusion of
the entire eastern section of the orig
inal Arlington reservation, which has
been occupied by the Agricultural
Department since 1872 as an open-air
laboratory and experimental farm.
Would Restore Mansion.
Final consideration of that extern
sion has been deferred to a later date,
however, pending the completion of
certain improvements In the cemetery
proper in the near future. Larger
plans, it is stated at the War De-
partment, must await an improved
condition of national finances, but, it
is explained. there are several things.
