Sometime after 1911, when an in vestigation was ordered by Congress recarding proper development of the Mall and the banks of the Potomac ind the site for a BLotanic Garden there was agitation for using the Mount Hamilton tract for a Botanic Garden. This was rejected by the Joint Committee on the Library, and | the Botanic Garden is now beinz ex- tended along the bed of the old James Creek, south of the pitol. Since 1917 the use of Mount Ham iltontract for a ional arboretum ! hus been persistently pressed. This is one of the chiel objectives the Garden Clubs of America, which in, cludes more than 5000 of the leading women of the country organized throughout the States. They were represented last yvear at the hearing hefore Congress and in conferences with the highest ofticiuls of the Goy ernment by Mrs. Frank B, Noye chairman of the Gurden Club of the National Capital. who helped in prep. wation of the bill which is to be re introduced, and an active worker on the project for more than 10 vears, Backed by Nurseryme Harlan 1% Kelsey also appeared at | the heaving representing the Ameri- | can Association of Nurserymen, the e nization engaged in the industry of growing and selling plants, vepresenting an investment of more than $300.006.000.

Since it became known that Lient Clarence O. Sherrill. engineer of charae of public buildings and ounds and a member of the National Cupital Parks Commission, is hunting for a site for the stadium his office has been deluged with suggestions re- garding @ number of possible t tions. One of these is between Penn sylvania avenue and Massachusetts avenue on the Anacostia side Studies show that at least 75 acres needed for this project, in order to provide for an attendance of 100.- 006 persons. and with adequate ter minal facilities s ing space— which would ta 40" acres.

The Yale Bowl takes 26 o acres, with other parking Those who are making the studies for the Washington stadium are plan ning for u permanent, svmmetrical amd syvstematic parking arrangement which will permit the stadium to be emptied without confusion in less than i5 minutes. That applies to pe ons coming by train, street cars. busses and automobiles from the city, irom the suburbs and from other citics. The intricate problem of han Alin, 1ogreat erowd is heing studied from all angles, especially within the tatic conzestion of a great city. Studies Not Completed. It ix probable that somewhere on the Anacostia shore hetween the I'ennsylvania Avenue Bridge to Ana costia_and the Marvland line a zood site may be located that will meet all requirements. Eesides the area re- quired for the stadium and fo park inc. there are other comnplications he- cides those of handling the traffic. These include drainage, foundations and similar considerations, on which studies have not vet been completed. It is argued that as the Anacostia shore lies ‘close to both the Pennsyl- | vania and Baltimore and Ohio Rail road tracks the out-of-town attend- ants could be handled especially well. It is also pointed out that the water. front would allow watcr carnivals, and in this respect the National Cabital stadium and athletie field would have dvantages over any other in | director this country.
