THE SUNDAY . STAR, P. C. 1928—PART 1. “he Derendable Store—We Do Not Penalize Our Friends' .8 WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 4. PARKWAY PLANS $1 Pencil Sharpeners 25¢ Pocket Pencils . A Store BEING SCRUTINIZED Modification of Rock Creek and Potomac Park Being | Worked Out. Modification of the plan for improve- ment of the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway has been decided upon and details now are being worked out in the executive offices of the parkway commission. Although it is not known just what changes will be made, it was disclosed that one of the main features of the original plan which will be left out will be the rim highway, which was proj d to skirt the crest of the banks of the creek It was pointed out by Lieut. Col. U. . G . 3d, executive officer of the | Commission, that many prob- lems are being considered in connection with the revised plan, some made nec- essary by changed conditions since the project was laid down. He said that Prederick H. Olmstead, member of the National Park and Planning Commis- sion, had spent some time here in going over the ground included in the park- way and had made suggestions for changes. The details and the cost now are being worked out in the commis- slon's offices. Cost Set at $100,000. Several problems have occurred in - the vicinity of Q and P streets. At the former, he said, it would have to be decided whether the commission should provide for the purchase of all of the ground occupied by the Georgetown car barns of the Washington Railway and Eleetric Co.. or should construct a retaining wall on the east side of the creek to protect buildings on Twenty third street from Sheridan Circle to Q street. One project, he said, would be as expensive as the other, involving a cost of about $100,000. ‘While the original taking lines of the park only provided for a small slice o be taken from the railway company’s property, Col. Grant pointed out that it | would be required in order to provide | & 40 or 50 foot roadway on the creek's | edge: If it is decided to locate the | roadway on the west side of the creek | at this point, it will be necessary to cut back the slope there, which would carry it well into the railway company's| property. On the other hand, he added, | it it is decided to locate the rnadway‘ on the éast bank at this point, it will | be necessary to dig into the fill there | and build concrete reinforcements to Fm%ct buildings outside the parkway | ine. It is not proposed to cut out the rim roadway in its entirety, but it is | desired to continue it wherever possible, | but later construction has been allowed | to encroach on the original plans. Be- tween the P and M street bridges the colored high school has been construct- ed partly on park property, and the | colored swimming pool also furnishes | an obstruction to the rim highwa: One of the original plans for beautify ing this parkway was that houses should be constructed along this rim highway, their fronts toward the parkway, but Col. Grant said property had been so subdivided that the backs of the houses were in the park. He also added that many people were beautifying their back f)‘u’fls, and he did not believe it would 2 desirable to oppose this by putting in a roadway. Open Within Two Weeks. The valley roadway in the parkway between the Connecticut Avenue Bridge and the Massachusetts avenue culvert is being_constructed under the direc- tion of Frank T. Gartside, engineer in charge of the parks maintenance divi- sion of the office of public buildings. This roadway will be open to traffic within two weeks. It was pointed out' that Mr. Gartside has succeeded in proteting the roadway on the east bank :rom washes by con- struction of a sea wall of broken con- crete taken from city streets. This is one example of what the civilian em- ployes of the office are doing to save Government funds in construction work, it is said. While there is a roadway running through the culvert which carries the creek also under Massachusetts avenue, it was pointed out that one of the projects which should be included in the im- provement is a bridge to replace the big fill, which supports the chusetts avenue highway across the parkway. ‘The culvert is about 150 feet long, but there is room for a roadway and the bank is sufficiently high almost to pre- clude danger of a washout. ‘While it is proposed to carry the val- ley roadway through the park for its entire length as one of the first items of improvement, one of the big obstacles to its continuance below Massachusetts avenue is & dwelling just south of the culvert. It lies in the line of the pro- posed roadway and only a small path- way separates it from the water's edge. ‘This house now is occupied by the care- | taker of the pumping station. Maj. Brehon Somervell, United States Army engineer in charge of the Wash- ington Aqueduct, said that some of the personnel was being withdrawn from this plant as a matter of economy, as the pumps there have only been used once in 10 years. He said that the property on which the dwelling is loca ed had been turned over ‘o the Park- way Commission, but it had not been decided what would be done with it. Removal Necessary. ‘The removal of this dwelling would | permit engineers to carry the roadway | southward toward Potomac Park, where | it ends now at the south end of the cul- | vert. | In the vicinity of the P street bridge, Col. Grant said that there was a prob- | lem of getting the roadway under it, and that it might be done by con- structing a smaller bridge under the present bridge which carries the Wash- ington Railway tracks over the park- way at this point. There also has been a proposal to place the riding academy at Twenty-second and P | streets outside of the taking lines, so that it could be retained there. Col. Jrant said that he was opposed to making any changes in this respect, unless there could be found some way | of guaranteeing that the place would | be_perpetually used as a riding academy. | In the Potomac River end of the | parkway, the final land purchases are | being held. up by the proposed con- demnations of property owned by the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Co. Pro- ceedings were instituted in the local | courts against this property about 12 years ago, but nothing further hns‘ | | been done. Col. Grant said that since he has been handling the commission's affairs, he has conferred repeatedly | with officials of the Department of | Justice, charged with the duty of press- | ing the condemnations, and has writ- ten innumerable letters, but without | result. He never, he said, has been able to get a reason for the delay. | Until these suits are cleared up, little | can be done in the way vi improvement | in the lower end of the parkway. e Chinese merchants have petitioned the government to increase the import tariff of artificial silk, the cheapness of which is ruining the silk farmers.
