FUND TO Be ASKED
Budget Bureau Preparing
Estimate for Mount Pleas
ants New Building.

The Bureau Of the Budget is pre-
pairing an urgent deficiency esti-
mate" for the equipment and man
ming of the new Mount Pleasant
Library, according to Karl~Langen-
heck, chairman of the library COM
mittee Of the Mount Pleasant Citi-
zens' Association, at a meeting of the
organization held at the Johnson
Powell school, Hiatt place and La
mont street, last night.
Mr.. Langenbeck stated that the
estimate probably would be submit
ted to Congress by the end of this
month. No facts, he said, could be
learned about the amount that is
being considered by the bureau Of
tho budget. DR.. George F. Bower
man, head of the Public Library, has
recommended $37.500 as the neces-
gary sum-s25,000 for books, $11,320
for the employment of II persons to
run the branch library and $3.50 for
maintainence. Mr.. Langenbeck de-
clared, however, that he was inform
ed that Capt. Stevens of the bureau

The association went on record as
favoring the increase from s1,300,000
to S1,600,000 Of the amount appro-
priated by Congress to purchase the
land required to Join Rock Creek
Park with Potomac Park. Piecemeal
appropriations over a long period
with subsequent increases In realty
values have made 1t impossible to
purchase all the necessary ground at
the original estimate of 81 1900, 900. An
Immediate appropriation Of $100, 900 is
asked by the association.
A resolution was also adopted ask
fng Congress to allow the appropria-
tion of $1,000,000. the maximum an
nual amount authorized for the work
of the newly formed National Capital
Park Commission. The Bureau Of thu
Budget has only approved 100000 of
the annual $1,000,000 authorized by
rho bill, 1t was stated. At this ate,
the Association was told, 1t would
take six years to get all the land that
was unquestionably required for an
