Skyscrapers Increase. | Skyscrapers are going up in Provi- | dence at a rate which causes deep emotion of one sort in the hearts of | city boosters, but emotions of another | sort in the hearts of city planners— | for skyscrapers mean congested traf-| fic, and Providence and Rhode Island s0 far have been unable to adopt a regional highway plan. So the metro- politan district of Providence affords striking illustration of the fact that regional planning must be undertaken from a viewpoint that is comprehen- sive, embracing not only the nec sity for parks, but of highways, water supply, sewerage disposal—in fact, all of the problems which the individual municipalities have solved in relation to their own well-being, but without thought to the other cities in the immediate vicinity. But, regardless of what it ha# in some cases left undone, Providence has not been behind in the matter of parks. As in Bdston, visitors to the American Civie ociation meeting are impressed here with the. fact that Providence und Boston have not contented themselves with acquiring land for mmunicipal park development within the city limit but have gone far out of the el limits to purchase such land. Po ton's 5,000-a>re Blue Hills Reserv is one illustraticn, and others of tk same sort arve afforded in Rhode Is land. This had ied to a natural com- parison by those familiar with what is going on in Washington to the fact that until the establishment of the National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission little thought ap- parently has been given by Congress to acquiring while it can be acquired land ontside of Washington neces- sary for the extension of its park system into the bordering States of Maryland and Virginia. Held Urgent Need. Even now the limited funds and their manner of appropriation pre- vents this. But it is pointed out that even more serious is the faflure on the part of the Government to hold what it has within the District, and to set ahout purchasing in Washington now what it must have within a few years, Two vears ago a bill was introduced in Congress for the sale of Fort Wash- ington and Fort Hunt, and although these two items were stricken from the bill, they were taken out only when the unwisdom of the dispo of these two valuable sites on the Potomac River had been emphasized | by persons not in Congress. Still later, Congress authorized in the last session the sale of about 15 acres of land between the Naval Ob- servatory grounds Massachusetts avenue, " land from which a few thousand dollars may be realized, hut which, according to the experience of other rapidly growing American com- munities, will be needed badly for governmental use within a few years. In addition, the Commissioncrs have been authorized by Congres: pose of the Industrlul llome grounds, which lie between the Observatory and Wisconsin avenue, and while the sale has not been made, there is nothing to indicate that it will_not. The point emphasized by those at- tending this meeting who are familiar with the situation in the District is this: The plot of 15 acres may not be suitable for a park, and there may be no necessity for a park in that area. But in a few years that plot of ground Il be valuable as a site for some Government building and Congress will have to seek another. The In- dustrial Home School grounds are considered valuable for their potential use as a park or a res lon area, but it is to be sold and lost forever to the use of the city. The Navy De- partment, which owns the 15-acre plot, and the Board of Public Welfare, con- trolling the Industrial Home School grounds, have their own needs to look out for, and neither can be blamed | sistant Se POST NOVEMBER T New Treasury Official to Take Up Duties Here Soon, M~llon Announces. | Henry H.

Dewey, will prob- ably be sworn in about November 1, tary Mellon said tod: Mr. Bond for the present, it is under- stood, will take over the duties now performed by Mr. Dewey, but Secre- ary Mellon explained that the ar- rangement of functions of his assis- tants was ‘“‘flexible” and changes would b made it found convenient and helpful in the administration of the Treasury One of Mr. Bond's responsibilities will be in working out administrative features in internal revenue methods, in co-operation with the joint com: mittee of Congress. Concerning the public building pro- gram, which Mr. Dewey started, Mr. Mellon said Assistant Secretary Carl T. Schuneman now had charge of all except this city, and it was likely that Mr. Schuneman later would take over the program for Washington. Mr. Dewey did have charge of the | entire building program, but it was found that this, in addition to his other duties, was too heavy a load, so “Freasury duties were reassigned so as to give the assistant secretary, Mr. Schuneman, the public building pro- | gram outside of Washington. Mr. Dewey's offices now, which are to be taken over by the new assistant secretary, are: The treasurer of the | United States, controller of the cur- of the public debt, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Farm Loan Bureau, Mint Bureau, se- cret service division, under the act of 1920, and the Treas- ury disbursing clerk.

Washington policemen had a gal time of it last night. With thei families and friends they convened at the City Club for their annual enter- tainment and dance, given by the Policemen's Association. Horace W. Lineberg, president of the association spoke, and George B. Wheelock served as chairman of the entertainment committee. for secking the revenue they need by disposal of land they control, and neither is concerned with parks for the District. Foresight Lacking. But the interesting matter is that Congress, which should be alive to menace of wastefully disposing of aluable Jand surely to be needed in a few yvears, lacks entirely the foresigh which it should possess as part of its equipment, constituting, as it doe | the responsible agency for the de- | velopment of Washington. This lack of foresight on the part of Congress is not being overlooked by any of the city and regional planners who are attending the meetings of the American Civic Association. Nor are they neglecting any opportunity to point out and emphasize it to_their audiences in the various cities, which for an hour or a day i hosts. Mrs. Edward W. Biddle Philadelphia, vice president of the as- sociation, replying yesterday to an ad- dress of welcome by the Providence city officials, chose as the subject f her short talk the failure of the Na- tional Capital to live up to the plan provided for it by George Washington and L'Enfant, a failure attributed to Congress, and she illustrated her point by citing buildings erected in haste which must be torn down, new build- Ings which must be built._ and the en- croachment by private interests |1y preserved for Government needs and development of par Frederic A.

Expects Two Attacks. The “power combine,” as its assail ants term it, expects to have to face fire on two fronts. It believes that Senator Norris and his friends, for one thing, will make an' inte drive for Government ownership of power utilities, such as Norris has al ways advocated for Muscle Shoals. The renewed discussion of the Boulder Dam project is sure to involve a lot of pro-Government ownership agita- tion, too. In the second place, the power peo- ple will be surprised if the Norris group does not force a sweeping in- vestigation of the *“power combine™ by a joint committee of both Houses of Congress. Senator Norris is quoted as feeling that the Federal Trade Commission, which has been looking into “power monopoly” for the past year or two, has never tackled the proposition in hammer-and-tongs fashion. The Pro- gressive farces asgert that only a congressional inquiry, as thorough- going as the Walsh probe of oil, can bring out the facts about power. Spokesmen of power interests de clare that they have been subject at Washington in recent years to what they call “political sharpshoot- i They claim that defense gainst such attack is necessary “to maintain the American tradition of protecting and encouraging yrivate initiative,” under which the country pros| ty has taken place.
