ENGINEER OFFICE
HOLDS WAKEFIELD
Interior Department Lacks
Funds to Care for Wash
ington's Birthplace.

The Interior Department hasn't got a
cent to take care of Wakefield, Va, the
birthplace of George Washington, on
the Potomac River.
While tentative plans had been sug-
gested for the transfer today Of Wake
field by the United States Engineer
ONCE to the National Park Service of
the Interior Department, as directed by
recent legislation, the shift will not be
made as yet because the service is
broke" when it comes to taking care
OF new property.
Bill Provides for Wakefield.
The deficiency bill, which has passed
the House and is now pending in the
Senate, carries an item of about SOS, 900
for taking care of Wakefield. The Ma
tional Park Service is hiding its time
until that legislation passes and, mean
while, Maj. Brehon Somervell, District
Engineer for the War Department for
the Washington area, will retain Official
custody Of the historic piece of ground.
After the birthplace of George Wash
ington is turned over to the National
Park Service, that Governmental unit
proposes to work in conjunction with
the Wakefield National Memorial AsSo-
citation, which has a much larger tract
that the Government owns, including
the site Of the burying place of WASH
ington's ancestors. The association
plans to restore the ancestral home of
Washington to what 1t looked like in
1882. with surroundings in keeping with
early colonial times.
Plan to Restore Home.
The tentative program calls for this
restored horse and grounds, with sur
rounding lands, owned by the Rookie
fellers, and the 11.8S acres now forming
the United States reservation to be
under the jurisdiction Of the National
Park Service. The whole estate will
then become a national monument and
it Is expected that this will be accom-
plished in 1882 as a feature Of the
George washington bicentennial cele-
bration.
Maj. Somervell made his recommen-
dalton some days ago concerning the
transfer Of the property to Maj Gen.
Lyle Brown, chief of Army Engineers,
who in turn communicated with Secre-
tary Hurley. The Secretary of War has
now written to Secretary Wilbur about
the project, but when Hoarrace NJ
Albright director of the National Park
Service, looked into his Golfers, he was
unable to find penny to take care of
the old home Of the father Of his coun-
try.
