As a matter of | | fact, there is practically no drill hall space in the present armory, and | except in very warm weather, the in- struction has to be confined almost | wholly to company and class room | work. When the Public Works first an- | nounced that it would receive appli- | cations for public projects, the local | Guard officials, then headed by the late Maj. Gen.

The District of Columbia Com- | missioners, to aid the cause, assigned | & site at the Industrial Home School | on Wiscensin avenue, provided it re- | ceived the approval of the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion. However, that organization de- cided that it was not the proper place for an armory and rejected it. The planning commission then tentatively decided on the East Capitol street site and considered it in connection with the stadium project, but in the final analysis of the proposition, the armory plan was rejected because it was decided that the proposed devel- opment in connection with the stadium would require all of the land.

If this is done, it will be the first time that all of the troops have assembled since the di- visional organization was perfected more than a decade ago.
