Totals ELIOT GIVES VIEW OF NEW CAPITAL BUILDING PROJECTS (Continued From First Page) | the triangle group will have a uniform cornice line and harmony of treatment for the whole length of the Avenue. 1t is hoped that under the provisions of the Shipsted-Luce bill, which has passed the Senate and is now pending in the House, the owners of private property on the north side of the Avenue Will co-operate in producing harmonious compositions for their side of that famous thoroughfare. Plans for the municipal center between Third and Sixth streets north of the Avenue give assurance that at least that poriion of the Pennsylvania avenue frontage will be developed in harmony with the pro- posed buildings of the Federal Govern- ment. “The great central vista from the Capitol to the Washington Monument and on to the Lincoln Memorial is only partially complete. Some day a clear View will be provided between the Monument and the Capitol along a cen- tral greensward bordered by Tows of elms. A part of the road system in ac- cordance with the final plan is to be constructed this Summer in front of the new Agriculture Building. The com- pleted project will presumably include of Twelfth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, When this part of the Mall is complete, there will remain only the surroundings of the Washington Monu- ment to be brought into harmony with the Test of the great plan. For this area the McMillan Commission of 1901 proposed a great garden which is being further studied by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission in the hope that the final execution of the project may not be long delayed. “At the western end of the central area, the Arlington Memorial Bridge is approaching completion. Here the Fed- eral Government is now building a water gate between the bridge and the Rock Creek Parkway. The great steps of the water gate will extend the straight line_ which passes through the Capitol, the Monument and the Lincoln Memorial to the Potomac River. “Avenue of the States.” “Some day, the area east of the Cap- itol will come into its own and be de- veloped with public buildings and me- morials corresponding to those now be- ing constructed west of the Capitol. It has been suggested that East Capitol street be renamed the ‘Avenue of the States’ and be lined with headquarters and exhibition buildings of the several States. Such buildings might constitute a Hall of Fame and include the statues that now adorn Statuary Hall in the Capitol. At the end of East Capitol street, at Anacostia Park, is the best op- portunity in the city for a great stadium, “These are some of the projects now going_forward in the central area of the city, but there are also many plans for new features, new parks and new highways in the suburban areas. Pas- sage of the Capper-Cramton bill, now pending in the Senate, will make pos- sible a park system for the National Capital rivaling, that of any other city in_the world, so that Washington will reflect the ideals of the American people, not only in the central area but throughout the District of Columbia and the Washington region.” Six woolen scarves knitted by the Prince of Wales and Prince George were recently exhibited in Londgn.
