Acquisition of available park areas north of Florida avenue, the orlginal limits of the city as laid out by Maj. I'Enfant, in order that this section of the city will not be confronted in tuture years with a lack of parks, is urged by Melvin C. Hazen, District surveyor, in his annual report for the | last fiscal year. submitted today to the Commissioners. The rapid de- velopment of Washington beyond Florida avenue, Mr. Hazen said, threatens the destruction of remain- ing park spaces. The District surveyor recommended that a comprehensive park plan should be worked out in keeping with the development of the city and urged the acquisition of several specific sites. He also advocated the preser- vation and connection of the old civil war forts about the city as a part of | the park “The new Washington being created beyond Florida avenue will not have | the liberal park area the old W ington ha d Mr. Hazen, certainly eflection present generation not to provide for | more recreation space for the future population of this rapidly growing | city. B | Rocommends Purchases, “While it is believed that a com- prehensive park plan would be de- sirable, this office has, however, from time to time recommended specific tracts for parks where there is dan- | ger of their being lost to the park | system. These are Piney Branch | parkway east of 16th street, Klingle | road valley and Patterson tract. pecially do 1 wish to cail your att tion to the rapid encroachment upon Piney Branch and Klingle road valle: They have already much re- duced in area, and it is my firm belief that Piney Branch parkway will be lost if not acquired within® the next Year. ‘Klingle Ford valle; the link connecting P'otomac 'ark nnl the south with Rock Cree Park on the north. This would eliminate the necessity of tratlic passin through the Zoological Park, which | is a playground for children, where | traffic should be restricted. If this | Iink is acquired it will make a con- | tinuous park from Haines point, at the | extreme south end of l"otomac Park, | to the extreme north end of Roc Creek Park. at the northerly boundary £ the District. There is probably no- here to be found such a beautiful | hain_ of parks, with its scenery from the natural, rugge wooded hillsides to the beautifully should be made | Would Denutify Streets. A uniform treatment of all parking space between building lines along streets in the residential sections of the city is advocated by the surveyor. “It is believed that legislation would be necessary to accomplish this result, and an initial appropriation may be needed, after which it might be reimbursed by ment against | the abutting property owners similar to tthe establishment and nance of sidewalks.” 387 New Subdivisions. Five hundred and elghty-seven new | subdivisions of farm land were pre- pared by the surveyor's office during | the year, Mr. Hazen reported. This, was an increase of fifty-five over QP preceding year. The number of su divisions recorded was 496, an in- crease of twenty-six over the pre- vious year. There were forty-two street and park condemnation cases and seventeen alley cases before the ! courts during the vear. Thirteen | street and park and nine alley cases | were confirmed and total damages al- lowed for property taken for streets | and parks amounted to $130,780.39 and | $14,979.64 allowed for alleys. H Condemnation proceedings under consideration and which will be in- stituted this year, according to the report, include: Widening of Broad Branch road from Rock Creek to the District line; widening of Benning road east Benning, and widening | of Sheriff road and Canal road, west | of Georgetow | A total of 5,122 mainte- | i surveys were made | during the vear, as compared | with 4,135 the vear before. The total | number of plats drawn in books was | 14,669, as compared with 12,100 the preceding year. Mr. Hazen said that the opening of several streets provided in the street plan of the city is not possible because they are blocked by build- ings and the cost of condemning them and assessing the abutting | property owners would be prohibitive.
