Mr. I. G. Harris. On page 40 [of the sundry civil bill], after the legis- 
lation in respect to the Zoological Park, I move to insert, after line 21: 
For continuing the entrance into the Zoological Park from Woodley Lane and 
opening driveway into the Zoological Park from said entrance along the west bank 
of Rock Creek, $5,000, to be immediately available, which sum is hereby appro- 
priated out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, one-half 
chargeable to the revenues of the District of Columbia. 
I merely desire to state that the owners of the real estate have dedi- 
cated the land free of cost. The roadway is partially constructed and 
it requires, as I am informed by the District Commissioners, this 
appropriation to complete it.
