Suggestion of Alternative Plans. Congress will be told that the problem can be solved either by send- ing 14th street through the reserva- tion on a depressed grade; abandon- ing that portion of the reservation between 14th and 16th and acquiring ground south of the hospital for de- velopment purposes, or transferring the hospital to a new site. The Dis- trict Commissioners favor the first of these propositions. All those who favor extending the street are agreed that if the hospital reservation is permitted to stand as a barrier to the carrying out of the highway plan the future development of the section north of the reserva- tion. lving both in the District and Maryland. is doomed. They believe, however. that neither the development of the hospital reservation nor the execution of the highway plan nec- essarily need be interfered with if the Commissioners' plan of taking the street through the reservation on a depressed grade is approved. Under this plan bridges would be thrown over the street for the use of officers and patients at the hos- pital. ‘WOULD SELL WALTER REED. fiytng at a high altitude. —_— U. S. TENNIS PAIR LOSES.
