The bottom will be thor- oughly examined for breaks'or cracks, which will be promptly repaired so that the basin may be filled again. Tt was pointed out that it is necessary to do this work in cold weather as the pressure caused by marsh gas, which collects there in the Summer time would cause serious damage if the surface pressure of the water were removed in warm weather. Removal of the single flowering Jap. anese cherry trees from their present position west of the Lincoln Memorial also was started today. These trees, it was announced, by Maj. U. S, Grant, 3d, director of the office of publiz buildings and public parks of the Na- tional Capital, will be placed in the site of the former bathing beach on | the Tidal Basin. | 1t also was announced by Maj.
