said Mr.. Heine, "Mr. Glover had
turned his attention toward the
Washington waterfront as a po-
tential area destined to enhance
the beauty Of the Nations Cap
ital and provide useful recrea-
ton for the public. The rail-
roads were envisioning the use
of the waterfront for purposes
far removed from parks and rec
reation."
In 1881 Mr.. Glover called a
of public-spirited citi-
zens to discuss his plan to re-
claim marshes in the Southwest
He encountered fierce opposition
in Congress and was laughed out
of at least one committee meet
ing. After years of labor, Con-
gress finally agreed to his plan
and passed bill creating Poto-
mac Park.
Convinced President Cleveland
Mr.. Glover promptly went to
the White House. "Mr. Cleve-
land" he said, 1T is certainly
gratifying to know and to fee
that that wonderful stretch Of
land is to become the great Ma
Itional park Of this country"
The President was obviously
surprised and said: 1T is not YET
Ia park, and it seems to me thai
the plan to make it a public
(vegetable) garden was the right
idea"
Mr.. Glover remained with the
President until convincing him
that he should sign the measure
This was done on March 3, 1897
and there followed the develop.

turesque valley that lay before
them, these four men, at Mr.
Glover's request, pledged them
selves to work for q national
park and to never cease their
efforts until they were success
full. It was pledge that was
maintained.
Others Shared Enthusiasm
"Soon these men were joined
by others in a meeting at the
Glover residence on Lafayette
Square. Crosby S. Moves, close
associate of Mr.. Glover and
staunch supporter of all moves
to enhance the beauty of Wash
ington, presided over the meet
ing. The project was discussed
at length and q bill framed by
Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Carlisle
was read to the group.

Noyes provided immediate sup

newspaper. Although success did
not come easily, Mr.. Moves con-
tinued his full support of the
project. thus helping to bring
the proposed acquisition of Rock
Greek Park to the attention OF
the public and the Congress-"
Mr.. Heine declared that SEN
timent for creation of the park
FASTENED the enactment of leg
islation for the creation Of the
zoo.
Repeated attempts to obtain
congressional approval of the
park measures fell short, but in
May, 1890, the House finally APP
proved a bill, after the Senate
had acted favorably. There were
differences which required ad-
justment in conference and on
September 81. 1890, the COM
Ipleted legislation went to the
White House and was signed into
law by President Benjamin Har-

countless members of younger

That story was told last week
for the Columbia Historical So

determination, persistence and
generosity.
To-day in the National Cap

there are $3.50 acres Of park
lands within the limits OF the
District Of Columbia.

"Of this total acreage, some
$500 acres Of land are consti-
tuted by parks and parkways

either helped create or gave for
the people. This fact cannot
help but make us appreciate the
life Of service which he rendered

Rock Greek First Project
The first and major under
taking was the development of
Rock Greek Park, a project
which required Federal assist
ance. Effort had been made as
early as 1866 to get Congress to
enact legislation for this park
but that effort failed. So did
numerous later efforts.
1T may be too simple to say
that a horseback ride through
the Rock Creek valley estab-
lished Rock Creek Park" Mr.
Heine observed in his talk to the
historical society. However, a
particular horseback ride was OF
the greatest significance in the
development of the park.

to get Federal assistance, Mr..
Glover personally donated three
tracts of land for National Capt.

acres, which was the Glover
parkway and children's play
ground.
In 1927 he decided 81 acres be-
