Grant said he rero‘nlud that it was desirable to make the entrance to » park directly west of Kennedy and he favored carrying out plans already drawn for this purpose. He said, however, that the lmprovemenl would cost between $15.000 and $20,000, and he was doubtful v\h!th!r that amount could be obtained from Con- gress at once. He prom):ed to give the Eropounl his support, and expressed the ope that it might be carried out in a few years, parted From Plan. “It is unfortunate,” said Col.
