26 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTOY N. O, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1928 ELIOT VISUALIZES GREATER CAPITAL City Planner Telis Cosmos Club of Own “*Wild Dreams” for Future. Eliot, 2d, city planner Park and Planning Charles W. of the Capital for the city is the development of its public parks, he indicated. These would follow the general lines of the five main waterways in and around the District. Perhaps the two most pre- tentious of the parks would be that stretching from the city down both sides of the Potomac to Mount Vernon and the one in the upper valley of the Potomac. The present Rock Creek and Piney Branch parkways would be en- larged and beautified. he said. and the banks of the Anacostia River would be the site ot a Government reservation. as would the territory around the Northern Branch These lands have been se- lected, he said, for their rough topog- raphy and with reference to their geol- ogy, botanieal and ornithological life.

Mr. Eliot advocated a three-road righway. a plan which he said is be- ine proposed in various other sections. The center road would be for through traffic while the two outer ones would accommodate the local motorists. Besides the loop drives around the city. he outlined a plan of the com- mission which calls for a boulevard to | way. There will be discussions of District problems by Commissioners Dougherty, Taliaferro and Ladue. Articles on the business problems of the city will be contributed by E. C.

All these improvements. which Mr. Eliot told his audience he could predict because he would not be living in the vear 2.000 to answer for his prophecies. are contingent upon the appropriation of sufficient funds by Congress. .
