Congress, in recent years, has taken one or two steps in the direction of grouping small items in the District bill, but the proposal now under dis- cussion calls for a tematic applic tion of that prineiple to all branches of the municipal servic Until recently there was a separate appropriation item for annual main- tenance of each of t many sny parks under the jurisdiction of Col.

In almost every department of the city government, District officials say, there are similar instances of dozens of small appropriations for specific purposes which would be merged into lump sums under the present plan Would Avold Deficiencies.

A magnificent university of monu- mental proportions will rise on the Virginla shore of the Potomac, over- looking the Capital's historic shrines, as a memorial to Woodrow Wilson and his exalted ideals, if the proposed plans of the Natlonal Woodrow Wil- son Memorial Assoctation are brought to a realization.

Congress, which incorporated the association, will be asked ag the forth- coming sesslon to provide funds for the purchase of a site. The lacation of the university, of course, will be up to_ Congress to determine. but those behind the movement believe that the memorial should be placed on Virginfa’s hills on the axis «f the " forming a ccynple- to that shrine. The suggested is at the point where the memorial boulevard from Wiash ington to the Shenandoah Valley vwill begin. It lies behind the northerw end of Columbia Island, which will be. connected with the Virginia shore at that point by a bridge similar in de- sisn to the Arlington Merorial Bridge, which will lie in the continua- tion of the Mall axis.
