£8 BOOST GIVEN DEA F SUNKEN GARDEN Highlands Association Hears| U. S. Marshal Snyder on Reservoir. The proposal to transform the res- | ervoir on Sixteenth street at the en- | trance to Rock Creek Park, which has been idle for some time, into a beauti- | ful sunken garden—a scheme which has | engaged the attention of the Sixteenth | Street Highlands Citizens’ Association | for almost a year—was given new im- | tus last night by Edgar C. Snyder, | Jnited States marshal for the District of Columbia, who spoke before a meei ing of that body at tie Sixth Presby- terian Church, Sixteenth and Kennedy | streets. | Mr. Snyder, a member of the asso- | clation, delivered an interesting talk on | the subject of the suggested sunken gar- dens, illustrating his speech with + tern slides of scenery in some of Can- | ada's beautiful national parks, notably | Stanley Park, and ,colorful pictures of great natural beauty spots ol the Do- minion. These were offered as sugges- tions for ideas as to the style after | which the proposed gardens on Six- | teenth street might be fashioned | Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d. director of public buildings and public parks, ho addressed a previous meeting of the | association, told the assemblage on that | sion that he had “an open mind” L. ~ceard to the reservoir, and in- vited the association to name a com- mittee to appear before him with any proposal for the disposition of the arti- ficial basin. Mr. Snyder was named chairman of a “sunken gardens coms mittee.” Plan Held Practicable. 2 The United States marshal gave the location of the reservoir with rela- tion to sea level and street level, and-| pointed out the practicability of creatihg fine sunken gardens on the site at the entrance to Rock Creek Park. The lowest level of the reservoir, he said, ac- cording to figures furnished him by the ‘Water Department, was 4 feet below the level of Sixteenth street at that point. This would indicate, he went on to say, the feasibility of cutting away the bank which rises from the street up tothe top of the basin, and thereby making way for a sumptuous approach to the garden through a vista of fine trees. He pictured a garden including a rare collection of flowers and herbs, further beautified by a pond with a fountain in the center and. perhaps, a Japanese tea house, or something of that sort, at the south end. Mr. Snyder abhorred the thought of & stadium on the site of the present reservoir, declaring that “one of the chief reasons people live out 'on Six- teenth street is to get away froem all the-| noise and clatter of the downfown' sec- tion, and the erection of a stadium on Sixteenth street, with its hooti rooting crowds, would put an end Ppeace and dignity of the neighborhood.” For Schuldt’s Reappointment}: ‘The Sixteenth Street Highlands' As- sociation went on record last night-as vigorously indorsing Judge Gus ‘A.] Schuldt of the Police Court of the trict for reappointment. Judge Schuldt'sy term expires in January. In a short talk before the meeting, Jesse Benjamin, one of the association’s delegates to the Federation of Citizens’ associations, commended the work of the federation and severely criticized the action of one local citizens’ group which threatened to withdraw its mem- bership in the federation. He declared every citizens’ association now a mem- ber should remain so and that every community body not affiliated should become a member. “In the absence of representation in Congress and under the governance of an- | zens’ Associations as doing more for the Goats’ Tin Can Diet Belief Is Held All Wrong by Expert sl i By the Associated Press.
