A conference between District Commissioners, Attorney Maurice D. Rosenberg, and John T Earnshaw, superintendent of Congressional Cemetery, seeks a bill to allow the vestry to sell land within Congressional Cemetery for burial plots. About 25 of the former parking area have been used for congressional burials, while around 200 memorials cenotaphs crumble.
