GRANT FINDS CITY GROWING LOPSIDED Advocates Government Con- trol Architecturally of North | Side Pennsylvania Avenue. | The Government should exercise | arcaitectural control over the develop- | ment of the north side of Pennsy)- vania avenue, in view ot the develop- ment on the south side by the triangle building program, Lieut. Col. S Grant, 3d, executive officer of the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- miszion, told the Assoctation of Federal Architects meeting yesterday afternoon in the Interior Department auditorium. The zoning law seems to have worked out well so far, Col. Grant said, noting the large increase in apartment con- struction here, which he pointed out is in greater proportoin than any other city but Kansas City. The peculiar needs of Washington, with officials who remain here but a limited time, he said, might explain this. Zoning Heigh's Discussed. Should the zoning height be raised to even 130 feet on F and G streets in the cowntown section of the city, Col. Grant asserted, the buildings would detract from the domination which the Cavitol dome now exerts architecturally over the city, as a mass of towers and pinnecles would arise. The growth of the city is lopsided, the colonel said, but looked to zoning to control this. Col. Grant characterized the Fort drive development around the city as 2 project still possible of attainmer:. the like of which there is not in the whole Nation because of its historical end scenic worth. Rock Creek Park is no longer adequate to the needs of the city, Col. Grant said, citing the fact that neighborhood recreation centers are to be fully developed to meet this requirement. The grandson of the great Civil War | commander took as his topic “The Fu- ture Washington,” reminding his hear- ers that this has become a hobby witn him. Address by Architect Partridge. W. T. Partridge, consulting architect of the National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission, told the assembly, in | his address “The L'Enfant Plan of | Washington,” that L'Enfant’s plan of | Washington is one of the best models for the city planners of today. Mr. Partridge asserted that L’Enfant made no attempt to borrow from Versailles |4 or the plan for the rebuilding of Lon- don in drawing up his scheme for the capital of the new American Republic, but devised a plan that fitted into the 't’o'pcxnnhy of the District of Colun- ia. Through exhaustive study of the L’Enfant plan, Mr. Partridge found tho suggestion of a Masonic cross in the Avenue plan of the Capital and re- minded the audie when one con- siders that those development re may be some significance aftaching. Both Col. Grant and Mr. Partridge used illustrated slides to emphast their addresses. Louis A. Simon, pros- | ident of the Association of Federal Architects, who presided. told the or- ganization that the technical and cul- tural influences in Washington were here for the taking to aid the organi- 2ation in its mission of service to the Federal Government.
