D G WAR-NAVY GROUP SITE T0 BE CHOSEN Commission Meets Tuesday; Sentiment Gains for Southwest Location. DECuaibuR Selection of a location for the pro- posed new War and Navy bulldings is the principal problem to be acted on at a meeting of the Public Bulildings Commission to be held at 9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. An increash weight of opinion the Southwest site mental structure. From several sources during the p-n few days have come inklings that the Southwest site probably may be selected. This site is known as the “Southeast ‘Triangle” of the Mall, although it located in the so“““l:"il part of uu City of Washington. AN area on the south side of the Mall in a position to correspond and to balance with the Municipal Center on the north side of Pennsylvania avenue between Third and Sixth streets. Generally speaking, this location for the War and Navy buildings will face the new Botanic Gardens on the east and the Mall itself on the north. It is bounded on the south by D street and Virginia avenue, on the north by l(nry- land avenue and B m-eet, by Second street and on Dy Seventh street. Others Are Considered.

Interest in the Southwest location is keen for the reason that it will not only affect the War and Navy Department personnel, but is also considered as likely to have an important influence in changing the character of the Bouth- west section of the city. Location of the War and Navy De- partment buildings in that section, it was pointed out, would give them & larger area into which they could ex- pand during time of war, and on which temporary buildings could be construct- ed for the period of the emergency. The site is closer to the Army War College, ‘the Marine Barracks and to the Navy Yard than the Northwest sites. This area would give an added importance to the War and Navy group of build- ings, it is pointed out by those in favor of it, because they would be the sole occupants of this large site and would face a spacious and parklike place on at least two sides—the Botanic Gardens on_the east and the Mall on the north. It is known, however, that there are objections to the SBouthwest site 'hlch are being -uanumuly put l{m certain persons. instance, who ob)ect to going to flu& section n( the city, nearer the yards, and prefer something closer to the other executive establ nts in the Northwest instead of the South- west. ‘There are those also who claim it would be more advantageous & loca- tion for employes to reach on going to work.
