approximately 865 employees. but this
difference was due to those able to find
places elsewhere.
The employees are being put on

notice In addition to whatever accrued
leave they have. In some cases, this
was reported to amount to month.
The Treasury, where thousands Of

PARK FLOOD COST
IS PUT AT $3,5DO
Finnan Estimates Work of
Cleaning Up Will Take
Three Weeks.

Estimating the total flood damage
in the park system at S3,5Oo C. Mar
shall Finnan, superintendent of the
National Capital Parks, today said
cleanup work will take about three
weeks. His announcement followed
an inspection of the parks that were
partially under water.
In Potomac Park and in the Rock
Creek and Potomac Parkway, south
of K street, the park chief placed the
total damage at s2,500 He declared
that in Rock Creek Park, especially
at Pierce Mill. the damage would
aggregate $1,000
The total cost Of erecting the dikes,
hastily built by Civilian Conserva ton
Corps, Works Progress Administra-
ton and National Capital Parks labor,
reached $4,000, Finnan declared
Surveying the damage, the park
superintendent asserted that, thanks
to the sandbag protection erected, the
Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway
was not subjected to securing action
by the rushing waters where the Po-
tomac River takes bend near the
gas light property. In the March,
1886, flood there was considerable
securing there and topsoil, trees and
shrubs, as well as lawn areas, were
washed out. This time, Finnan said,
there was some damage to topsoil
and soddng, but. plant material was
saved
The pansy bed, unlike in the 1886
flood, was saved from the high waters
this time. A protective dixie was
thrown up there. While the rose gar
den in West Potomac Park was food
ed, despite the erection Of sandbags,
caused by the backing up Of water
through the drainage system, Finnan
declared the main rush of waters was
STAYED of. Because of this protection,
he said, the rose garden is not Sc
riously damaged.
Just how the National Capital Parks
will obtain all necessary funds for
flood repair work has not been de-
cided finally, officials said. Mean
while w. p A. workers are being
utilized on their regular assignments
and employees of the park system are
bearing the brunt Of the cleanup job.
