ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va., December 28.—Settlement long standing dispute as to the t of Columbia-Virginia boundary |is recommended in the annual report | of the National Captal Park and Plan- ning Commission. It is also recommended that the question of jurisdiction over lands along the Virginia shore be settled. The former recommendation is under the head of “Items for Action by Execu- tive Authorities” and recommends that the Attorney General institute proceed- to determine the location of the y line. This has long been & ntroversial subject and can be settled only in the United States Supreme Court. In referring to this matter, the com- mission points to the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the con- troversy between the Washington Air- port and Smoot Sand & Gravel Co. over the closing of the former's acoess to the Potomac River. In this decision the court stated that the boundary was the usual high water mark, “so that the only question is whether anything has happened since to change the original e Property in Arlington. The original high water merk, it is declared, ran to points beyond what are now fully developed properties that are dly in Arlington County and upan which taxes are collected by the local authorities. If the matter is pressed by the Federal authorites, it is claimed, it might mean a considerable loss to Arlington County, Many claim that a greater part of the property occupled by the Washington and Hoover Alrports was once in tidewater and has been reclaimed by filling and drainage. “The commission,” the report states, “urges the immediate institution of the necessary legal proceedings to deter- mine, assert and maintain control of those areas in the public interest.” In referring to the Rosslyn water front situation, the commission states lopment in situations more favorable but whatever the need the commission has endeavored to safe guard the future by study of the poss bilities involve Despite the belief far commercial water front development, the commission, in a spirit of co-opera- tion, developed a plan which would per- mit & county-owned wharf in conjunc- tion with the proposed bridgehead de- velopment &nd park treatment above the bridge, the report shows. The plan has been referred to Arlington County authorities, and the commission ex- presses the hope that it will serve as a basis for an agreement which will pro- vide not only for co-operation in exe- cution of the proposal for a county wharf, but also assure the acquisition of all of the lands within Arlington County which are needed for the George Washington Memorial Parkway Wilsan Mcmerial Urged. Construction of a memorial to Wood- row Wilkon on the hilltop at Radnor ghts, Arlington County, is suggested the commission which is in the form of a large terrace just north of the proposed Lee Boule- vard route, affords panoramic views of the city, river and distant hills, the re- port states. Studies of such a memorial have been prepared by the jon. The commissioa urges some action to permit construction of the Lee Boule- vard approach, which has been blocked because of interference with the Fort Myer Military Reservation. It also re- news its recommendation for construc- tion by Virginia of a new route to the South by-passing Alexandria. n referring to the proposed park de- velopments in nearby Virginia, which include the George Washington Me- morial Parkway, the commission states that it anticipates the co-operation of the State of Virginia.
