NEED OF MILLON FORPARKS SHOWN Sherrill Offers Commission’s Work as Evidence of Value of Project. Evidence of the wise expenditure of the first $600,000 by the National Capital Park Commission in saving the city large and important park areas, which it purchased within three months after the money was authorized, should be the best ar- gument for the provision of $1,000,000 a year authorized in the act creating the commission, Lieut. Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, executive officer of the commission, told a radio audience through WCAP last night. Both the Bureau of the Budget and Congress should look to the results obtained by the commission in considering the appropriation for the next year, he sald. The Park Commission commenced work on March 5, 1925, he said, with an_ appropriation of $600,000 avail- able for expenditure during this vear. On account of the urgent de- mands for the saving of areas of woodland threatened with destruc- tion for building purposes, the Park Commission has been forced to ex- pend already almost the entire $600,- 000 in less than the first three months of the time the appropria- tion became available.

Rival to Rock Creek Park. “A beautiful wooded tract of 70 acres has also been purchased in Ana- costia adjoining Fort Dupont, which will come to be recognized as a rival to Rock Creek Park when the District in the southeast section develops as it will undoubtedly do in the next few years. In addition to these important areas, the Park Commission has been fortunate in securing a fine wooded area consisting of an entire block in Takoma Park as a local park and playground, and also has secured a large playground area in Anacostia in the vicinity of Barry Farms. “With the creation and the success- ful operation of the Natlonal Capital Park Commission and the planning committee, which has already been or- zanized by it, for the co-ordination of the development plans for the Na- tional Capital, it will be possible in a relatively short time to correct many of the errors already made and to pre- vent a repetition of much mistake in WHIRLWIND AND THE CAPT IVES,RELEASED FROM| HIS SPELLS,RETURNED TO THEIR PROPER.
