THE new PARK SYSTEM
Mr.. Parsons Plans Submitted TO
Secretary Root.
Invisible Bridges, Banked With
SI,rubbery and Plants. Form a Fea-
.ture prOpOsed-Ihe Mall Will be
Connected With the ZOO-The Inn
proyements 10 Cost $3,1o3.S1O.

General Wilson, Chief of Engineers, yes
ferday submitted to Secretary Root the
report Of Samuel Parsons, jr., of New
York, on the improvement of the park
system OF the District of Columbia. The
report will be transmitted to Congress.
Mr.. Parsons is the landscape architect
in charge of Central Park, in New York
City, and was invited to draw up a plan
for the general improvement Of the Mall
ard the land south OF Pennsylvania Ave-
nue.. and north OF Street. connecting
with the Geological Park.
While the details Of the plans submitted
are kept secret for the present, it is
known that his idea for Improvement in
cludes all the territory lying between
PENNSYLVANIA Avenue north and Mary
land Avenue south from the Capitol to
the White House and the Monument
grounds. This would add to the present
Mall the private land on the north lying
between Street north and Pennsylvania
Avenue and the land on the south lying
between b. Street south and Maryland
Avenue. These additions would give The
park at that point the form of an al
most perfect triangle or ilatiron, with
the Capitol at its east end and the Wash
ington Monument at the centre of the
wezt end. The plan contemplates only
four cross streets namely, Third. Seventh,
Twelfth. and Fifteenth. emitting all
others now crossing the Mall from north
to South. A keynote Of the park treat
nent is series OF eliptical or oval bouie-

wards OF driveways beginning at the Capt.
toll and continuing west to the Monument
grounds. The only perfectly straight Sec
ton of this boulevard system is where il
crosses the four intersecting streets.
Invisible bridges form 4 feature pro-
pos d. These viii be banked with shrub
berry and plants. The general scheme
provides for the location of the lew
buildings required by the growing needs
of the Government, and the new city post
office is made the keynote Of the plans.
One of the important features is the
entire removal from the Mall of the sta
tion and tracks of the Pennsylvania Rail
road. and the establishment of the sta
ton on large improved plaza on TIE site
bounded by Sixth and Ninth and and ID
streets southwest. Mr.. Parsons says that
the presence of the depot and tracks is
a serious obstruction TO the proper de-
velopment OF the proposed park, and that
the proposed location Of the depot and
tracks would meet all the requirements
of the situation. He says that under the
new arrangements the railroad would be
convenient OF access in the movement OF
cars, and that the proposed station would
be capable of accommodating the electric
street cars and passengers coming in car
riages or on foot. The present location
of the station and tracks prevents the
HARMONIOUS ana drtlsilc ueVefopInSht VI
the park. The proposed site for the sta
ton is situated directly in front of the
transverse road at Seventh Street, which
street at that point is made as wide as
Pennsylvania Avenue.
The connection of the Mall with the
Geological Park is arranged by embracing
the entire territory between Twenty-sec-
ond Street and Twenty fourth Street from
New York Avenue. near the site of the
entrance to the proposed memorial bridge
across the Potomac northward to n Street,
where the new park territory takes semi
circular turn 10 the west around Rock
Creek Cemetery. almost touching the new
Naval Observatory Grounds and ending at
the boundaries of the Geological Park, at
the junction of Cathedral and Connecticut
Avenues.
In taking this course the park extension
follows the curves of Rock Creek. The
general plan of treatment of it is the same
as that advocated for the Mall. the leading
features of which are the elliptical drive
ways and circles at intersecting points with
monuments, statues, and fountains, placed
SO as to make the best display. Special
treatment is accorded to that section Of

the park extension ives. of the Monument
grounds, to the site of the entrance OF the
proposed memorial bridge. west OF the old
Observatory Grounds. A large ornamental
circle is placed on New York Avenue, at
the entrance to the bridge. The enlarge
ment of Geological Park is recommended
by the addition of adjacent ground on the
north and west out and around Rock Creek,
as far south as y Street
1t is estimated that the improvements
will cost 49, 153,Sl0. The estimates in
clude the following items: Grading, $3.50
72i: masonry, $744,392; roads, s2ss, $50;
paths. s4l. 800; bride paths. s22 900; DR. In
age, s27, $50; planting, seeding, etc, s7J4,-
600; four bridges, $4,000; contingencies,

General Wilson urges that Congress
give the matter favorable consideration.
