Washington bicentennial celebration
when the approaches to Arlington Me-

In order to conserve the forest in the
park in the vicinity of the Q Street
Bridge, two 20-foot roads, rather than
one 40-foot road, will be built, under

$4,000 to Patch
District Building
Roof, Budget Item

The plaintive appeals Of the Dis
trict Commissioners for funds to
repair the leaks in the roof of the
District Building have at last been
heard by the Budget Bureau, which
sent to Congress In the estimates
today an item of $4,000 to patch UP
the roof.
The work of repairing the Dis
trict Building roof was undertaken
in 1922 when Congress appropriated
$4,000 Of the $4,000 asked at that
time for replacement of paper and
tile. The $4,000 was suff1cient to
complete less than one-half the roof
and despite persistent pleas for
money to finish the work It was not
forthcoming.
After hard rain as many as 50
leaks develop, and the water has to
be trapped In buckets before 1t gets
to the ceiling of the fifth floor.
Some of the water has ESCAPED
however. and while falling plaster
and additional painting has resulted,
the Commissioners, whose offices are
on the top floor, have not yet been
required to raise umbrellas over
their desks.
