$1,511,164 SOUGHT
FOR new CENTER
Commissioners Forward Estimate
on Municipal Project to
Bureau of Budget.

The Commissioners have forwarded to
the Bureau Of the Budget detailed al
location of various sums for beginning
construction work on the new municipal
center buildings, amounting in all to
81 ,511 1874
An effort will be made to have this
sum appropriated in the Districts reg
ular 1882 appropriation bill. There is
already a suspense item in the budget
transmitted to Congress by the Budget
Bureau of $1,500,000 for municipal
center work At the time the Budget
Bureau agreed to this, however, de-
out. The effect of the transmission of
the tabulation is simply to fill in the
details
OF the money, $62, 500 is asked for
preliminary grading work, alterations
in sewers, water lines and the like be-
cause of substantial changes in the
grades of streets in the Municipal
Center area to be ordered before the
buildings are put up. Another $780,
664 is asked for clearing a site for the
first building Of the group, a unit to
house the Police, Juvenile and Munich
pal Courts.
This building will front on John
Marshal place and extend from D
street to Pennsylvania avenue. About
$400 900 will be necessary for the clear
ing Job altogether, but only the sum
mentioned can be used in the first
year. One million dollars is asked fol
the building itself This is only one
sixth of the estimated entire cost OF
the building, but since the contract is
expected to be let not earlier than
March !, 1882, the money will be
enough to carry the building for the
balance of the fiscal year.

NEW TRAFFIC BILL
IS GIVEN APPROVAL
House District Committee
FavOrS Capitalization of
Authority for Capital.

The House District Committee today
ordered favorable report to the House
on the rewritten traffic bill which aims
to centralize authority for traffic regula-
ton in the District Commissioners, with
appeals to a joint board composed of
the Commissioners and the Public Util-
tiles Commission.
Representative Hull of Wisconsin said
he had delayed action on this bill until
the revised draft had been printed in
order that he might study whether there
was any breakdown in it of the duties
and authority of the Public Utilities
Commission when it was established.
The action of the full committee was
hurried in the closing minutes before
the House met, on motion of Repre-
sentative Stalker, chairman of the SUBJ
committee which has conducted hear
ingS on this measure, and in whose
office a compromise agreement was
reached late yesterday afternoon.
He told the full District Committee
that the bill, as now drafted, has the
approval and Endorsement of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations, the
corporation counsel, the District Com
missioners, the American Automobile
Association and the United States Blu
reau of Efficiency, and that the only
agency not thoroughly satisfied is the
Public Utilities Commission, which is
not strenuouSly opposing the measure.

SUSPECT SEIZED
IN SAFE ROBBERY
Denies Guilt, but Says He Will
Not Fight Extradition to
Indianapolis.

Suspected of having participated in
safe robbery which eliminated in the
shooting of two policemen, Carl Tate,
% years old, was arrested by Headquar-
tiers Detectives Chester Stepp and Van
Doran Hughes for Indianapolis authori-
ties last night at house in the first
block of B street southwest
With Tate at the time of his appre-
hension was an 18-year-old Indianap-

bling safe. William Thayer was cap
tured, but the other escaped. Thayer
is said to have implicated Tate and to
have told indianapolis police the latter

SMALL LOAN BILL
ACTION DELAYED
Bowman Fails in Effort to
Bring Measure Before
House.

An effort was made by Representative
Bowman, Republican, of West Virginia,
before the House District Committee to-
day, to have the committee Immediately
report out substitute for the so-called
District of Columbia small-loan act, on
which his subcommittee had ordered a
favorable report in the last session of
Congress.
Representative Hull, Republican, Of
Wisconsin, and Tarver, Democrat, Of
Georgia, both strenuously opposed both
the original bill and the proposed sub
stitute. They forced an admission that
only two members of the committee had
even read the proposed substitute bill,
which Representative. Bowman vigorous
ly championed, saying that the changes
in this measure were to reduce the in
terest rate for borrowers to 312 per cent
per month on the first 500 and az per
cent on larger amounts.
Thousands Would Ask Loans.
Representative Hull protested that
there are thousands in the District in
distress who would apply for loans in
their desperation and that he would
not sanction legaliZing an interest rate
of AZ per cent to poor people who sought
to borrow money to keep their families
from starving.
Representative Tarver declared this
legislation is really proposal to legal
ize high rate of interest.
Representative Hull sought, through
two motions, on each CT which he was
defeated by a vote of to 2, to have
the new substitute bill and the pending
Stalker bill to establish credit unions
considered by subcommittee and then,
when that failed, by the full commit
tee holding hearings on both bills.
Duty to Study Measure.
Representative Tarver chided the
committee members that they were sup
posed to give serious consideration to
each measure that came before them
and that the membership of the House
placed confidence in the committee re-
port that such care had been exercised
1T is our duty, under the rules, to
study this BILL" he said, land not take
the word of any one member regard
ing what is in it." He insisted that
the bill should be read, section by Sec
ton, for amendment.
The time of the committee having
expired the question went over until
Friday morning for further considera-
ton.

CLEARING OF AREA
FOR D. c. MEMORIAL
URGED
Grant Asked to Have Wooded
Section South of Reflect
ing Pool Trimmed.
WOULD PROVIDE SPACE
FOR CONCERT CROWD
Location Now Covered by Trees
and Shrubbery, Fine Arts Group
Chairman Points Out.

Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, director
of Public Buildings and Public Parks,
today had before him a recommendation
of his Park Committee that the entire
wooded area south of the rejecting pool
from Seventeenth street to the Lincoln
Memorial, be cleaned up and thinned
out so that the District of Columbia
World War Memorial may be con-
structed in appropriate surroundings
and the public may have better oppor-
tunity to hear the concerts that will be
given in the pretentious bandstand
which is the form the memorial will
take.
G.. E. Clark, chairman of the Park
Committee, in transmitting the recon-
mendation to the colonel, wrote that
"at such time as the memorial band
stand is built the area will only require
local clearing"
This action came on the heels OF a
recommendation from the Fine Arts
Commission, through its member, James
L. Greenleaf, that it is urgent Ito clear
out the smaller trees and shrubbery, so
as to give an unobStructed place about
the bandstand for concerts" Mr.. Green
leaf is serving temporarily as member
of the commission, during the absence
OF Ferrucclo VlLale IN 1Caly.
Whales Predecessor.
In transmitting Mr.. Greenleaf's
recommendation to Col. Grant, Charles
Moore, chairman of the Fine Arts Com
mission, said: Mr.. Greenleaf, as you
know, was Mr.. Whales predecessor as
landscape architect member of the
commission and gave nine years in the
work of the commission, during which
he emphasized particularly the i'm
portance of carrying out landscape
plans for the National Capital.
mr. Greenleaf visited Washington
last Friday and made an inspection of
the site for the District of Columbia
Memorial Bandstand, which is to be
erected south of the Lincoln Memorial
Rejecting Basin at a point about half
way between Seventeenth street and the
Lincoln Memorial A set of blueprints
of the bandstand was considered in con-
nection with the construction. It was
noted that the location is now covered
by trees and Shrubbery.
Versailles Beauty Cited.
"Mr. Greenleaf regards this of urgent
Importance to clear out the smaller trees
and shrubbery so as to give an unob-
structed place about the bandstand for
concert. Mr.. Greenleaf called attention
to the beauty of the groves at YER
sailles with their lovely greensward and
trees. It is, of course, important to have
ample space around the bandstand for
the concert throngs. The question of
gravel versus grass is debatable. The
ultimate effect must rely upon a well
developed grove and the beauty of the
structure itself The hedges shown in
the plan should be omitted as circum-
scribing the seating area. Large trees
for shade and firm ground for the use
of chairs are sufficient. The Commits
sion Of Fine Arts concur in these recon-
mendationSs"
The balance of the funds needed to
construct the memorial is now being
raised under the auspices of The Star.
