and deserted.
The lantern, lifted high in the boatswain's
hand, cleft at a stroke the darkness within.
On the writing table, cluttered with papers and
bits of volcanic rock, stood bottle and half
empty glass. Things lay about in lugubrious

the southeast corner Of Sixteenth ana
Kennedy streets has been neglected.
since its abandonment for reservoir pur-
noses and the grass and other sur
rounding landscape features have been
allowed 10 go untrimmed, so as to oe-
come an eyesore, it was said.
E. C. Snyder. chairman Of special
committee appointed to bring about
change in its character, said the
basins are suited to Sunken garden re-
n,Iirements, it being possible with but
Comparatively small outlay of funds 10
provide fountains. additional shrubbery,
walks. benches and a bandstand.
Other action taken, which will be
coupled with the sunken garden project,
would provide for the Strengthening or
moving of the Kennedy street entrance
to Rock Creek Park on line With Ken
nedy street to eliminate the necessity
for a double turn of traffic. It is also
urged that this entrance be made more
attractive and BETTING the character
of Sixteenth street by providing an Or
namental archway.
Following the reading of a con1nuni-
cation from the Community Chest
resolution was unanimously adopted in
tiorsing the movement. A communica-
ton from the District Firemen's Asso-
citation urging Endorsement Of its action
in seeking an increase in pay was re-
derred to the committee on police and
fire protection for consideration and
action at the next meeting President
Lewis j. Battle was directed to extend
an invitation to Representative Cramp-
