In announcing that the War Depart
ment had allotted $S4,28660 for arr1ory

Guard of the District of Columbia FOL

out this represents fund which comes

this Is an investment which should en-.
courage not only the business men but
others In the city to get behind the Ma.
tional Guard and assist 1t In accom-.
plishing some of its detectives. the most
important of which at this time Is the
need for an adequate armory.
with the provision Of adequate
arnlory facilities, according to Lieut.
Col. Peyton @. Nevitt, 29th Division ad'
iutant, the Guard could organize 0
number of additional units which have
been allotted to this area by the Wal
Department, but which are being helC
up because of the lack of armory facili.
ties The organization of these units
would triple the present allotment Of
funds for armory drill pay.
It was pointed out that many cities
make offers to get within their limits
business organizations Of various kinds
because of the fact that 1t means thu
expenditure Of money by their en-
ployes, yet, 1t was pointed out, people
fail to take account of the money
brought into the city by the Nationa
Guard In the way of Federal funds al.
lotted by the War Department.
For years the Guard has tried to get
united support for various measures II
provide an arm.ry here. but Congress
In the end ignores them. and in somt
instances there has been opposition
from the District Of Columbia govern
mental officials, who take the stant
that the money should be provided bJ
the Federal Government. The pro-
posed legislation to turn the Pension
ONCE Building In Judiciary Square ovei
to the Guard for armory purposes failed
Of becoming a law in the last Congress
and the officials have about given up
hope of ever accomplishing the obJec-
tive of 20 years Of effort In this direc-
ton.
Another method Is to be tried at the
coming Congress by putting In an item
for an appropriation of 100000 with
which to begin the construction of an
armory to cost eventually $500.000
However. this proposal of the Guard has
vet to run the gantict Of the District
Commissioners and the Bureau of the
Budget, and even If 1t survives these
two there is a possibility that 1t n1ay &c
out on a point of order. because OF the
fact that there Is no authorizing
measure preceding It. But the Guard
officials point out that they have tried
the other method and 1t has not work
ed. so they will take chance and try
to get the provision through by other
methods. The proposed fund VIII be ioi
