PROPOSED

Washington.-A bathing beach will
be established in the Tidal Basin for
the special benefit Of the colored peo-
pie of the District, if the necessary
funds are appropriated by Congress,
it is announced. An appropriation Of
$4,000 has been available for a col
ored bathing beach in the District for
the past two years. Various sites
were chosen by Col. Sheriff., the Of
ficer in charge Of public buildings and
grounds, but none of them were ac-
ceptable to the representatives of the
colored people. One Of these was at
the south end of Columbia Island near
the Virginia shore, and another was
at the Virginia end Of the Francis
Scott Key bridge. Finally, after ap-
peals for the location Of the colored
bathing beach in the Tidal Basin on
the shore opposite the existing bath
ing beach for white people. the Secre-
tary Of War hai agreed to the propo-
sition provided Congress increases the
available appropriation to an amount
sufficient for the purpose. He has
presented the matter to the chairmen
