October 16.—Removal of the farmers’ market and the commission merchants place of business from their present loca tions in the vicinitv of Ninth and B streets in Washington before May 1 1927, was recommended by the Na tional Capital Park and Planning Commission at a meeting in the Prin cess Ann Hotel here. which adjourned shortly before 10 o'clock tonight ‘The commission recommended that they be moved simultaneously and to one of the following sites, with the irummisslnn'fi preference in the order named | 1. A site near the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad yards in Eckington 2. A site near the water front in Southwest Washington 3. The midcity site | The commission did not undertaks lto give a specific location in any of these general areas at this time, but {left the matter open for further study and development {hrouzh conferences with representatives of the farmers and commission merchants Center Market Proposed. The commission also recommended that Center Market should not be moved at this time. but should re main in its presen’ site until the fu ture acquisition of land in that vicin | ity by the Government should make it undesirable for it to stay thers any longer. Then, and only then, the com mission said it should he moved to a site which would be sui le to meet the changed conditions The commission centered its con- sideration of the problem today dur- ing its 8-hour ride down the Potomac River on the engineer launch, Chi cago. to Wakefield. and later at a three-hour confecence here on plans for the treatment of the Mall and the surroynding area. { . The commission will recommend to the supervising architect of the Treas ury that the areéa between Seventh and Ninth streets and B street north- west and B street southwest Le kept free from public buildings. This is essential, the commission will intorm the supervising architect. to the proper development of the Mall. The com. mission indicated that it was opposed to the erection of any building in the area bounded by these May Extend Ninth Street. The commission also determined {that the north and south streets now running across the Mall should be re itained and that consideration should be given to the possibility of extend ing Ninth street across the Mall and jthat nothing should be done to block it by attempting to erect any buildings at this point. The possibility of de | pressing some of these north | south streets through the Mall shon be given consideration. and instruc tions will be given to the commission's engineers to look into this problem The commission expressed the opin 1 i fon, and it will be conveyed to the | supervising architect, that the exist | Ing local street running east and we. and other north and south streets do not go through the Mall, could he to relocated satlsfactdrily suit the Government building program The executive officer of the commis sion was directed to take up with the District Commissioners and the street railway companies the question of pro viding adequate transportation in the | triangle formed by Pennsylvania ave nue, B, Sixth and Fifteenth streets I Stand on Parking Cars. The commission took a decided jstand against the parking of auto | mobiles around the proposed publ | buildings and recommended that in | drawing the plans for them provi | slon should be made for parking cais within the buildings. The com said that upon the examination of ures, counting numbers of employes, parked cars and office space in con nection with the Navy and Munitions | Building, and the application of these figures to the situation of the Com- merce Building, it appears that ap proximately the equivalent of one full story (one and one-third times the floor area) would be required in a building on the Fifteenth street site to accommodate the cars of employes of that department. Upon approxi- mate calculation of land values and building costs it appeared that the { provision of parking area on open ground is more expensive than pro vision of automobile space in buildings Another recommendatior by the { commission tonight was that in gen- !eral the buildings which it is proposed |to erect along Pennsvivania avenue should have their fronts parallel to {that thoroughfar The commission tonight gave in { structions to the executive officer to make a study of the question of the {acquisition of the Chesapeake and @hio Canal by the Government, and should he decide that it\ should be obtained, to make suggestions at the | December meeting of the commission {as to how it should be treated in the | general scheme of regional develop ment of Washington.
