Stable Project Fails as Commissioners Split Over Bryant Street Stable
Two District Commissioners back municipal playground use of the Bryant street site near the pumping station while a third, Commissioner West, opposes it and favors moving the stable elsewhere. Commissioner Macfarland, aligned with the engineer department, argues the water supply would not be endangered and the block would improve, though property values nearby could drop.

Opposes District Dump In Rock Creek Valley
Charles M. Ffoulke of the National Society of Fine Arts urges the District Commissioners to halt wagon dumps into Rock Creek Park on the Georgetown side. He cites a Congress appropriation of 4003 dollars to study Rock Creek treatment and warns that unsightly refuse from DC marked wagons pollutes the valley. Engineer Commissioner Morrow limits stoppage to dumps on the south bank, noting other dumping occurs on private property beyond the District’s control.
