PREPARATIONS BEGUN FOR PARKWAY OPENING @rading and Planting Under Way on Rock Creek and Poto- mac “Link.” With a view to opening Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway for public use this Summer considerable grading and planting now is being carried on by the parks maintenance division of the office of public buildings and public parks of the National Capital. Frank T. Gartside, chief of the gi- vision, has made a report to Director Grant showing the detail work that is being carried on to open this con- necting link between Rock Creek and Potomac Parks. Underbrush and stumps have been cleared from 15 acres of ground lying between the Connecticut Avenue Bridge and Massachusetts avenue; bridle paths have been resurfacdl; 200 feet of barricade fence has been erected near the old stone quarry at Connecticut Avenue Bridge and 80 additional feet near Belmont road; scores of tons of clay have been dumped in the low spots between F and K streets and this has been graded preparatory to the Spring planting. A stone retaining wall has been constructed near Twenty-second and . Q streets, which will make it possible to place an entrance road from the city streets at this peoint down into the parkway. WOULD COST $23,000,000. Estimate Placed on Squares Adjoin- ing Fafayette Park. A total expenditure of something more than $23,000,000—almost as much as that necessary for purchase of the much larger triangle between Fifteenth street and the Capitol— would have to be made by the gov- ernment to acquire the six squares surrounding Lafayette Park on the north, east and west sides, accord- ing to information given the Com- mission of Fine Arts. The commis- sion has urged repeatedly that all the property around the park not now owned by the government be ac- quired to protect the setting of the ‘White House from encroachment by private buildings,, with the view that at some future time the plan of 1901, providing for monumental govern- ment buildings around the park, may be carried out PRESS STRIKE ENDS.

Trads eugplied throun ashingte Drug OF WASHINGTON IS DISCUSSED Visitor From Abroad Talks of Capital as It Impre;ses Him After Seeing Other Cities in America. BY THOMAS CADETT Of the Londgn Times, Tomporarily on the & taff of The Sta The architectural Plugdnmes and errors of Washington may very rightly be left to the informed for any elaborate discussion. The same may be said of its plan. Outside the lim ited fleld of academic criticism, how ever, lles the very clear right of the most ignorant visitor to his ow pressions, based though they m upon canons of the wor: it taste. Moreover, given the of nity, he may even record them for what they are worth. As the political significance of the disenfranchised District of Columbia becomes magnified by even a slight knowledge of the rest of the country, S0 some acquaintance with the small | and large towns of America I phasis upon the unique architectural features of the place. The small town seems in these days to be as stand ardized as are most produc automobile industry, though the South is fighting a losing rear-guard action in the matter. The blessing of pros- perity and the blight lie upon them, and in consequence, having motored through many of them, one suddenly realizes that nov elty began and ended with the first. Sullen Magnificence. As for the cit temples of Mammon, insis- tent, and monstrous structures that impose the mind and tire the eye. There may possibly be a boulevard for local pride and foreign admiration. There is certainly a rigid planning, a matter of rectangles that loses in beauty what it gains in convenience. This, too, the small town shares. And then there is Washington, scrapers, o SILK STORE INC.

The 8ympathetic for- eigner, however, will regard them not so much as mature errors as growing pains that will disappear later. It is, in fact, the difference be- tween the optimist who avers that this is the best of all possible worlds and the pessimist who fears that such is the case. To become particular, there is the blanched magnificence of the Capitol, which must surely impress the most casual visitor with a sense of its ap- propriate dignity. There are its at e [ tendant bulldings, together with the Library, which are imposing of them- mlu"s first, and only afterward be- e they ought to be so.
