Survey Rejects
Remote Site

The proposed Soldiers Home
site for q Geological Survey
headquarters building has been
rejected by the agency.
Two reasons for the decision
were advanced by Thomas B.
Nolan. Geological Survey direc-
tor.
The site, Mr.. Nolan said, is
too remote from other Federal
agencies, such as the Weather
Bureau, with which the survey
closely works. 1t would. more
Eover, inconvenience employees
who live in Virginia and North
west Washington and add to
the city's traffic problems, the
director said.
Mr.. Nolan informed General
Services Administration of his
|agency's views yesterday.
Another potential site had
already been killed. The survey
had expressed preference for
the Army Engineer Corps reser-
Ivation at Dalecarlia. just inside
the District line where Wash
Iington's big water filtration
plant is located. The Engineer
Corps told GSA it cannot spare
any OF its land there.
The developments reduce to
one the number of Federal
owned sites for Geological Sur
Ivey-the grounds of the Nation
lal Training School for Boys
slated to be abandoned. Since
that location is farther removed
from the Northwest and Virginia
Survey employees it, too. will
probably prove as undesirable
to the agency as the Soldiers
Home location.
The circumstances combine tc
raise the possibility that the sur
