FORTS' AGQUISITION AS PARKS DELAYED « Grant Says Army Will Hold Potomac River Posts for Time Being. Enactment of legislation to author the National Capital Park and nning Commission to acquire Forts | Washington, Hunt and Foote, along the Potomac River, as links in the park system is not necessary at this itime in view of the decision of the War Departmert to retain the for the time being. Lieut. Col. U Grant, 3d, director of public buildir and parks, told the Senate miliiary affairs committee today A bill under which th mission would pu from the War Depa duced by enator session, because at that time the W Department had placed Washington, | Hunt and Foote on a. list of old forts | to be sold at auction rk Group Not Ready rant explained today that the Parks Commission is not ready at this time to proceed with the actual de ~welopment of these forts into Imfl\s.l but had sought the pending legislation Jast year to save these desirable park | ‘sites from passing into private hands| if placed on the auction block by the War Department. Col. Grant ex- plained that if these forts are to be ‘kept by the War Department for the time being it is agreeable to the Park Commission, since there would then be no danger of the Government los ing them for park treatment at some Jater time One of the reasons why the Park | Commission is not desirous of press- | ing for the immediate acquisition of | the forts is that a definite plan has not vet been perfected wjth the a thorities of Maryland and Virginia for | the purchase and development of park | areas in those States. The sole pur-| Pose of the Park Commission, Col.| Grant said, was to make sure that the | forts would not get away from the Government before the time when!| they can be added to the park s Col. Commiittee Is Interested. Members of the military eommittee displayed interest Grant’s explanation of the attractive | place these forts could be given in the | park system surrounding the National | Capital at some later time. Senator Fletcher, Democrat. of Florida wanted to know if there are good roads con- necting Fort Washington with the National Capital. Col. Grant said it is not a boulevard, but is a very good road to that point. The saving of Fort Hunt on the| Virginia side is very important. Col Grant said, because of its proximity to Mount Vernon and because it would fit in with the preposed Mount Vernon houlevard. The other fort is on the Maryland side of the river. According to Col. Grant, the view of the National Capital from Fort Wash- ington ie one of the most attractive { that could be obtained. He aiso told the committee that whenever Fort Washington is made a park the| Bureau of Fisheries could establish | there the fish hatchery now occupying rented quarters at Bryans Point, Md.. | including public exhibition of fish ponds in connection with the park. Sale of Fort Foote, in Maryland, which is much smaller than the other two, by the War Departmnt, has| glready been authorized. The pending | bill included Fort Foote, but was in- tended primarily to safeguard Forts | Hunt and Washington from private ownership. | g S0 ! MRS. MINERVA S.
