Again, many desirable tracts of land may be solidly built up through the spreading out of the city and thus lost for park purposes, and even if acquired and the buildings removed, all of their natural beauty would have been de- stroyed. Under the Cramton bill the entire amount estimated as necessary to com- plete our park system is made imme- diately available, thus enabling the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission to acquide such sites as are needed before prices further advance or before all their natural beauty has been totally destroyed. 1If the commission can purchase all of the land necessary to the completion of our park, parkway and playground sys- tem within the next year or two, instead of having to purchase it under our pres- ent plecemeal system of a million dol- lars’ worth a year, the money thus saved will a long way toward de- velopment the lands thus acquired. Budget Will Not Be Affected. The $16,000,000 that is to be advanced for the acquisition of lands in the Di trict of Columbia for park and play- ground purposes is to be pald back into the Treasury of the United States at the rate of $1,000,000 a year, the amount of our present annual appropriation for the purchase of park lands. It will thus be seen that Mr. Cramton’s proposal will not increase the District budget one penny, but that it will actually save money to the taxpayers of the District of Columbia.

Talkes, chairman of the chamber’s membership committee. The speech was Mr. Talkes' second in re- cent months, his previous address hav- | ing outlined the aims and objects of the chamber. | From its founding, Mr. Talkes de- | elared Jast night, the Washington Chamber of Commerce has stressed the gvper economic development of the ational Capital, convinced that the | “ideal community must be a good place , to work in as well as to live in.” 1In | former years, he said, Washington was ! capped by limited employment | mponunm" outside the Federal serv- | Five years ago. Mr. Talkes continued, the chamber'’s manufactures commit- tee made a studv which revealed “a | splendid record of local industrial growth which up to that time appar- ently had escaped public recognition.” The chamber subsequently inaugu- | rated its series of industrial expositions, | the fifth of which was staged last October | A “buy-in-Washington” campaign | was launched by the chamber in the interest of retail business men by ad- vocating buying here, not only by | Capital residents, but by citizens of the | two States who live within the metro- politan area of the District, i ‘Two years ago, when Virginia planned to exact automobile license fees from District cars operating across the Po- | tomac, the chamber sent a committee | to Gov. Byrd, which agreed to seek leg- | islation preventing fraudulent use of District tags in Virginia, in return for the governor's withdrawal of inter- | ference with Washington cars. Later, | when Virginia authorities sought to collect fees from District motor trucks | operating in their territory, another | committee waited upon the State ex- | ecutive, shortly after which complete ! reciprocity was restored. | Other ~ tasks undertsken by the | chamber, which were cited by Mr. ‘Talkes, included support of the diplo- | ms mill law, the inauguration of a | movement to obtain a model airport | for the District, support of the move- ment for national representation in | Congress for the District, and im- | proved fiscal relations, advocacy of im- | proved street lighting for downtown | Washington, and efforts to get higher ' salaries for policemen and firemen, | PIERCE HALL PLAYERS | PLAN TO ENTERTAIN | The Plerce Hall Players of All Souls’ | Unitarian Church will present “The | ” and other numbers in their | gla blic performance in Plerce Hal | ““The Curtain, v evening. by H.
