An Urgent District Building Need.

In their adoption of a plan for a
combination housing for the Office of
recorder Of deeds. the Municipal Court
and the Juvenile Court the Commits
sioners have moved toward the solu-
ton of a problem that has seriously
vexed the municipal authorities for a
long time. These three establishments
are now housed inadeauately in rented
quarters. The deeds office Is crowded
into a space altogether too small. for
which high rent is paid. 1t cannot
be enlarged. It cannot be properly
adapted to the uses of the office. 1t is
a makeshift. The work of recording
and caring for the records of property
transfers and titles is impeded and the
public service is inadeauately per.
formed
The two minor courts are likewise
installed in unsuitable quarters. The
Municipal Court has for years been
situated in a former dwelling, which
has been remodeled on scale that
permits only an approximation of the
reauisitO facilities for the proper trans
action of oRsiness. The Juvenile Court
has been GRifted about and now &C.
cupies one of the temporary struc-
lures. erected during the war emer-
gency, for which the District pays
rental to the Government.
1t is proposed in the Commissioners
new bill to combine these three units
Of District activity in single build
ing. especially designed for them.
There is no special relationship be-
tween them, hut they would effectively
unite in one housing. It is not desfra-
BILE that the Juvenile Court be located
In or near the Police Court. Nor has
the Municipal Court such a relation
ship to the Police Court as to make
co.tenancy appropriate. The deeds rec
ords ONCE has relationship to neither
NJ the proposed joint users of the new
structure, but there is no reason why
II should not be SO housed.
The Federal Government Is moving
to equip itself properly with new
buildings for departmental and bureau
work. after paying rents for many
wears for unsuitable and insufficient
quarters. 1t is only right that the Dis
trict. likewise a sufferer from this
costly mode of caring for It's essential
works, should also be permitted to al
vance to the stage OF permanent
equipment. The Commissioners, VINO
are best judges of the situation, ask
for a combination structure that Will
furnish the housing required for three
Of the important branches OF the
municipal work. Though their pro-
posal comes late in the session there

Alexanders Island.

An important and interesting ques.
ton Is raised by the Department OF
Justice which, at the request OF the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, has notified the owners
of property lying In the area known
as Alexa nders Island that they must
defend their titles. The Government
sets I'D the claim that this tract Is
public property. being part of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The property own
ers, who have been paying taxes to
the state of Virginia, contend that the
land IL a part of the Virginia soil and
that their titles are valid.
1t In well established that the bound
airy line between Maryland and Vir-
ginis Ia high-water mark on the Vir-
ginia side of the Potomac. When the
District of Columbia was created that
boundary was erased. When the Fir-
xinis portion of the District was retro
ceded TO that State the original high
water mark line was re-established,
Rn0 IHG 1tStTICL dIcd CAICtINSn W IT.
Long ago the tract known as Alexan
ters Island was In fact separated from
the mainland at certain seasons by
water flowing into two creeks or in
lets from the river. In the course of
time these have been filled, and the
former island has been thus united
TO the main shore and unquestionably
has been regarded for a long period
as part OF the territory restored to
virginia about eighty years ago.
The purpose OF the Government
motion to secure title to this area is
to add the so-called island to the park
system of the Capital. 1t is at pres
ent occupied by industrial establish
ments and an amusement park Tn
questionably it is desirable that i,
should be included in the park sys
tom. Eventually there should be ar
unbroken public reservation from Key
Bridge to the Highway Bridge. II thu
