Creation of a system of major and i minor recreational parks near the high schools and community centers in | Washington is a development of the immediate future, Charles W. Eliot, 2d, city planner of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, told the parks and playgrounds committee |of the Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon meeting at the City Club yesterday. Details of the plan and lo- cation of the recreational centers, Mr. Eliot said, connot be revealed at this stage. Coupled with this outline of the plans of the Park Commission, Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, executive officer of the commission, urged that all the agencies | concerned with the development of | parks, parkways and recreational areas should so co-ordinate their work as to make impossible the conflict of interests and working at cross purposes that now | exist. Plan 25 Major Parks. { Twenty-five major parks, of about 20 acres each, would be located near the senfor and junior high schools under the plan as outlined by Mr. Eliot, sup- plemented by smaller parks scattered each. Purchase of the acreage needed for these recreational centers, Mr. Eliot said, will cost about $16,000,000 if all the land is bought within the next five ears. e pointed out, however, that under the plan for appropriating $1,000,000 a year for purchase of park and play- ground sites the appreciation in real estate values will run ahead of the money available for purchase. and un- less larger appropriations are available for this purpose the purchases will cover. much more than five years. In the meantime, he added, many areas which are desirable for park purposes may be built upon or rendered unfit for such purposes. The land considered for purchase, Mr. Eliot said, appreciates at an average rate of 8.8 per cent a year. “The three major features—parks, parkways and playgrounds—should be acquired by Washington so the National Capital may become an example for the Nation in "preservation of its natural beauties,” #he said. Mr. Eliot outlined five major features of the Cramton bill, now pending in Congress, for development of the region about- Washington without cost to the taxpayers of the District. The first two, he said, relate to the Potomac, and would _establish parks and parkways along the river from Fort Washington, Va., to Great Falls. The second would be the extension of Rock Creek Park, toward which the National Capital Park and Planning Commission is working with the Maryland Planning Commis- sion. The third and fourth would p: vide for extension of the Anacostia parkway north and ultimately to con- stitute a parkway running to Baltimore. The fifth would provide for beautifica- | tion and conversion into parks of the| areas surrounding the small streams | which drain the territory about Wash- ington, such as Four-Mile Run, Cabin John Creek and other waterways. Mr. Cramton, he said, sponsor for a scheme to finance these improvements, by which $7,000,000 would be advanced from the Federal Treasury and would be matched in part by contributions by the States in which the improvements would be made. No part of the cost of the improvements outside of Washing- ton, he said, will be charged against the taxpayers of the District of Columbia. Grant Urges Co-ordination. Col. Grant pointed out that govern- mental agencies and ownerships, whether District or Federal, now con- cerned with development of parks, park- ways and playgrounds, conflict and sometimes work at cross-purposes when all are seeking the same end—the ulti- TODAY'S AMUSEMENTS..

Crant said. “They are a definite spiritual as- set to the city in which they are de- veloped, and further than that an eco- nomic asset. I believe there is a field in Washington for decreasing the cost of park, parkway and playground de- velopment to the taxpayer by proper co-ordination of all the agencies con- cerned with their growth.” v The committee voted its approval of the principles of the Cramton bfll. Charles W. Darr, president of the chamber, in a short address urged that all Washingtonians should support their local officials. “right or wrong,” in the face of denunciations of their conduct.

CITIZENS ARE TOLD OF CHEST ACTIVITY De Gast and Other Speakers Outline Operations to Brookland Citizens. A | Community Chest night was observed at the meeting of the Brookland Citi zens' Association last night in the Ma- sorfic Hall, Twelfth and Monroe streets northeast, with Leonard De Gast, sec- retary of the Y. M. C. A. and also of the Chest, as principal speaker. De Gast spoke of the conduct of the Chest and of the various changes and criticisms which he had received in re- ard the opemungmn( the campaign last year. Saying that the campaign was run on strictly modern business ideas, he pointed out that one organi- zation had been excluded from member- ship because investigation revealed that | there were no sanitary arrangements about the Pl’emiscs of the organization seeking help. Many other speakers addressed the assemblage, all praising the campaign. Some declared that the campal brought together persons living in dif- ferent parts of the city who ordinarily would have no contact with each other. Examples of charity work of the Chest also were cited. Others who addressed the meeting were Dr. Willlam M. Deviny, president of the Michigan Park Citizens’ Associa- tion; W. J. Weber, captain of the Dahl- gren Terrace unit of the Chest cam- paign; R. N.

Fyrewell is a specially prepared small size Reading Anthracite thatsells at a low price. Furnace has been the standard size for firing furnaces since houses first bhad such heating plants. Used together they give uniform heat with less attention and at lower cost. ‘In fact, the average cost of the com- bined sizes is so low that it's about what you would pay for smoky fuels, or for synthetic fuels that overheat you one minute and leave you to freeze the next. And in the long run, counting all the costs of keeping warm, you'll find that the Reading Fyrewell-Furnace combi- nation is the cheapest fuel you can use. : Brookland Citizens and a captain in the campaign; President McLean of the Brookland organization; J.

The smoke nuisance in the Northeast section is at last believed under control, according to John E. Bucklin, who said that after conferring with officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, he had obtained their promises for a com- plete investigation of the situation and | an immediate remedy if possible.
