C. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1926. Action by National |PARK AND HIGHWAY EXTENSION BEYOND D. C. RAISES PROBLEM| DESCRIBED AT TRIAL| ¥ Commission Friday Expected to Bring to Focus Ques- BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY. Probable action by the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion, at its meeting here on Friday, on two sections Jf the reglonal develop- ment scheme will bring to a focus the all-important question as to who is going to pay for this improvement when it reaches outside the borders of the District of Columb'a. The par- ticular plans which will bring this question up will be the submission to the commission of a tentative scheme for the development of a regional sys- tem of highways and one for regional continuation of the park system of the Natlonal Capital. There is no question of the fact that money will be needed, and much of it, to carry the Cap'tal’s beautification scheme into_Maryland and Virginia. Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, executive officer of the commission, said that the matter of footing the bills would have ‘o be faced, but that it was probable the commission would not attempt to decide this question, involving three separate political entities. The com- mission, it is belleved, he said, would confine itself to laying out the plans for the regional development, set the boundaries beyond which .the work should not go, and then leave to Con- gress the matter of finding out who is to pay for the improvement outside of the District. Provision for Funds. Of course, there i ample provision in the amended park commission act to give the commission authority to take the funds ampropriated by Con- gress for its development work and spend them for the purchase of park lands and playgrounds in Maryland and Virginia, but the commission has consistently refused to use any of this fund, which amounts to $600,000 a year, for the purchase of any lands outside of Washington. The reason for this is that all of this $600,000 is furnished by the taxpayers of the District. As long as this money comes from District taxpavers the park and plan- ning commissioners have felt that its use should be confined absolutely to the purchase of benefits within the District There have heen efforts to have the ecommission purchase lands outside of Whashington, hut with this policy adopted the commission has insisted on carrving it out, both in letter and spirit. The Park Commission act pro- vides for the appropriation each year of 1 cent for each inhabitant of the United States, as determined by the wreceding census, and this fund is 0 he used by the commission for the purchase of lands for park and play- eround purposes. But Consress has never allowed the full amount. Virginia has provided for the an- nointment of a commission to act iointly with the National Capital bodv ‘n regional planning in Arlington and vart of Fairfax Count'es. and Mary- Jand has taken steps which, it is ex- tion of Payment. the question as to who is to pay for the development in the ' so-called metropolitan area outside of Wash- ington will be thoroughly threshed out. ‘While the commission has refused to use any of its appropriations for the purchase of property outside of the District, it has used some of the Dis- trict money to prepare plans and collect information necessary for lay- ing down a broad regional scheme. This includes the hiring of a corps of experts, who have been workiag for some months. The morning session of the commis- sion Friday will be given over to the approval of plans for ..highway changes, which had been recommended by its ce-ordinating committee. and finally approved by the District Com- missioners after a public hearing of property owners whose land was to be affected. In the afternoon the commission will begin its regional plan discussions, the first of which will be consideration of a regional highway system which has been ten- tatively laid down by the experts. This will consist of laving down ihe main arterial streets through the en- tire regional area, picking certain streets in the District of Columbia and deciding where they should con- nect with roadways in Maryland and Virginia, and where they should be laid down in these respective terri- tories. After laying down these arterlal streets and highways, the comm’ssion will attempt to lay down the feeders and interconnecting roads. Traffic Survey Made. This plan has been made through a study of the recent traffic survey made by a private corporation for the local Public Utilities Commission and augmented by the studies of traffic at certain points by experts, to determine where present traffic volume starts, what routes it now follows and where it goes. This part of the study has been general to some extent, as there has heen no effort to make a traffic survey along any of the proposed regional highways. The question probably will take up t!19 entire afternoon, leaving for Saturday the discussion of the re- gional park system, which will at- empt to tie up the park system of the District with the proposed re- nal park system of Maryland and Virginia, recommending extensions 'nd lands to be purchased. This is he report that will bring up the matter of payment, which finallv will <0 to Congress unless the regiona' lelegntes can he prevailed upon to urge their State Legislatures to pro- vide the funds. It is the purpose of the commission to lay down a broad parkway scheme for the regional area now. so that prompt efforts may be made to pur- chase the land in advance of com- mercial development and thus save hundreds of thousands of dollars. BOAT’S PUNCH PARTY | THREE GRACES’ FOR SALE|WASHTUBS ON FARMS Coast Guard Vessel Given Ingredi- ents for Affair by Rum Run- ner Say Witnesses. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, December 7.—A punch party in the galley of a Coast Guard patrol boat, to which a rum schooner contributed peach brandy, vermouth and White Horse Scotch, was describ- ed yesterday by two Government wit- nesses before a naval court-martial board trying Chief Boatswain’s Mate Robert E. Taylor on charges of traf- ficking with rum runners. Taylor formerly commanded the patrol boat €©G-130. Edward W. Doten and George A. Carpenter, both chief boatswain's mates and former members of the crew of the 130, told of the punch party. ‘Thev said that one time when the patrol boat was tied up to the Arsene J, a vessel on rum row, choice liquors were passed ahoard and mixed up for punch. The party that followed, the witnesses related, was held in the gal- lev and was attended by the skipper and mate of the rum ship as well as the crew of the patrol boat. Doten and Carpenter both testified that they had received money from Taylor. The former said he had re- ceived $20 at one time and Carpenter said he had been given $40. Taylor, the third of a group of four Coast Guard officers to be tried here, is charged in nine specifications with “scandalous conduct and traffick- ing with rum runners.” first things, probably will recommend the extension of Rock Creek Park up the valley into Maryland so as to preserve the watershed. Mr. Olm- sted has been assisted by employes of the commission. Maryland is particularly interested in preserving the watershed of the Northwest Branch, a tributary of the Eastern Branch of the Potomac River, as at Burnt Mills is located one of the water supply stations for Montgomery and Prince Gedrges Counties. If this plant is to be continued, the area through which the branch runs must be preserved to insure a full supply of water at all times.

CONSUELO’S BRITISH MANSION TO BE SOLD House Given Her on Marriage in 1895 Likely to Become Home of Auto Club. By the Associated Press. LONDON, December 7.—Sunderland : House, the magnificent 50-room man- sion which was presented to Consuelo Vanderbilt by her father on her mar- riage to the Duke of Marlborough in 1895, will be sold and probably will| |become the home of a new automo- I bile club, The sale price is reported to have been set at between £70,000 and £80,000, which i{s much below the cost iof the house, one of the most mag- { nificent mansions in England.

CHICAGO, December 7.—The old farm washtub apparently is des- tined to be a museum piece. Bath tubs and washing machines are going into farm homes so fast that statisticlans can barely keep count, the .American Farm Bureau Federation was told today. “Bath tubs in American farm homes total 1,275,252, or an average of one tub for every flve farms,” said Miss Irene Foley, home economics expert of Wichita, Kans. “Improvement of the standard of! living on American farms is rapidly bringing all the comforts of city life to the country. More than 32 per cent of the nation’s farm homes, ow 2,040,404, have running water for cooking, washing and other house- hold purposes. “Thirty-eight per cent of the farm women of America have abandoned the slavery of the washboard in favor of washing machines.” Edmonston D.
