to Acquire the Land?Measure in
House. Committee's Hands.
If the Gallinger bill for the purchase j
of land for a public park on Georgetown i
Heights becomes a law. one of the most
beautiful tracts of land in the District
will be dedicated to the use of the people.
^ The bill rassed the Senate the 3d of
this month and is now pending before the
public buildings and grounds committee of j
the House. The proposed park contains j
about sixteen acres, and is bounued in part
by Lovers lane. R street. Oak Hill ceme- j
tery and Rock creek. It is the belief of
the Senate and of the Commissioners that
it can be acquired and put into good
shape for $150,000, and this amount is
carried in the bill.
An Attractive Place.
0
The tract is ornamented with a growth
of splendid forest trees. The lay of the j
land also lends itself to enlarge the I
charms of this really beautiful spot. A i
portion of it is like a plateau, and then ;
the ground falls away to the sides of a
gorge which forms the northern boundary
of the property. The contrast from
the smooth and, perhaps, somewhat formal
lines of a lawn, dotted with fine old
trees, to the wildness and romantic
beauty of the glen at the north is a
striking one.
These natural beauties, so rarely found,
had. of course, something to do with its
selection by popular choice, as, it seems,
of a place to be set apart for the use of
the people. But in addition to its titness
for such purposes there is also added its
convenience of access and the necessity
for something of the sort in that section
'of the city. It may be surprising to know,
but there is no park in all that large area
of city which lies beyond Rock creek and
is known as Georgetown, not even a circle
or a triangular open place or anything
of the kind. Ordinarily, as American
cities go. or rather as they were laid
out. this is by 110 mans an unusual thing.
Here it: Washington, owing to the good
fortune that in the beginning a plan of j
farsighted vision of the future was
adopted, and as the conditions were such
that it was practically Impossible to
change it. the city has today a park system
that is recognized as being without
question admirably adapted, not only for !
s ght'.lness but for the <4nmfort and the
iralth of the Inhabitants.
Georgetown Not Provided For.
