BACK CRAMTONB|L[
Sixteenth Street Association
Approves Measure to
Buy Park Lands.

Approval was given to the Cramton
bill for the purchase of park lands by
the Sixteenth Street Highlands Citi-
Zens' Association at a meeting in Sixth
Presbyterian Church, Sixteenth and
Kennedy streets, last night. Repre-
sentative Cramton was to have adj
dressed the meeting but was unable to
attend. In letter he pointed out the
many advantages to accrue to the Ma
tons Capital through acquiring needed
land and for the maintenance OF its
natural beauties.
E. G. Snyder, chairman of special
committee to promote the idea of con-
verting the abandoned Sixteenth Street
Reservoir site into Sunken gardens. in
reporting the progress of the committee
said that the aid of Mrs. John B. Hen
derSon had been obtained. Mrs. Hen
derson, he said, was enthusiastic about
the project, especially as it would mean
added beauty to the thoroughfare, which
she always has championed. Because of
the proposal being of city-wide inter-
est. action was taken directing the Sec
rotary to communicate with each OF
the citizens associations in the Dis
trict, urging their support.
The association also favored chang
ing of the name of Sixteenth street to
that of President avenue. The plan as
proposed for the old reservoir would
be to establish gardens with fountains.
trees. shrubbery walks and bandstand.
Opposition was voted on proposal
to rezone the south side of Kennedy
street. east of Fourteenth street, to
permit semi-detached houses. The
parks and Fairgrounds committee was
directed to take steps to have Four
tenth street, north of Kennedy street,
improved by the installation of curbing
and by planting shrubbery in the center
parking.
Charles Moore. president of the Fine
Arts Commission, will be invited to ad-
dress the next meeting of the asso-
citation, which is scheduled for March
