ROCK CREEK VALLEY
Plans for Its Improvement In

THE ARGUMENTS ADVANCED
Statements Made by Commissioners
Mcfarland and Morrow-Esti-
mated Cost Of Park System.

The future treatment Of Rock Creek val.
ley from Massachusetts, avenue to the Po-
ton,ac river was the subject Of q hearing
before the board OF Commissioners this
morning. The Commissioners will, ct the
coming session Of Congress, recommend .
definite plan of treating this valley. and
as two different plans have been advo-
cated.-the open or park treatment. and
the closed or tunneling treatment-the
Commissioners called for this hearing In
order to learn the views Of persons inter-
ested. before arriving at a conclusion.
Nearly 100 persons were present Some
were from the National Society Of the
Fine Arts, and the American Institute Of
Architects, American Civic Association and
the GEORGETOWN Citizens Association were
also represented. Others expressed the
views Of property owners. and others
were individually interested.
The advocates of the preservation Of the
valley as public park were greatly IA
the majority. Less than half dozen
persons spoke in favor OF the closed or
tunneiing treatment.
advocating the open treatment. most
prominent Of which were that this valley
Is the natural link between the Mall and
Rock Greek Park. and that Its preserva'
ton IL one OF the important elements IN
the park commissions plan and that such
a park will add beauty and attractiveness
to tho adjoining neighborhood and will
add to the heaIthfulness OF the community
by furnishing q channel for the circula-
ton of air, prevent the spread Of disease
and act as zone Of safety in case OF
conhagrstioa beginning on either side,
and the open treatment will bring the
communities on either side Of the creek in
closer contact and relationship by means OF
bridges which are proposed to span the
creek at g street and at N street

Mr.. Macfarland's Statement.

At the conclusion Of the hearing Com
missioner Mcfarland said:
''The Commissioners. more than two
years ago. reported favorably upon a bill
referred to them by Congress providing
for the closed treatment. More than a
year ago they reconsidered this action,
AMI since then have been seeking with
an open mind to get all the light possibl !.
on the question as new question. They
are considering 1t in that spirit. They
will take into account the advice given
here today at the hearing, which they ap-
pointed for the purpose of getting such
advice, and also the facts brought out BY
tbs engineers under the appropriation OBJ
tanned by the Commissioners for the pur-
pose OF getting such facts, and will de-
eide 1t In favor Of the best method of
treating this problem In the common in
terest Meanwhile, the dumping is on
private property and cannot be stopped

oy the engineer department that it win
not interfere with carrying out either plan

Appeal for Open Treatment.

George A. King, . member of the Board
Of Trade and the National Society Of the
Fine Arts. made an appeal for the open
park treatment. He said It would provoke
deplorable state Of affairs for the Com
missioners, as the guardians Of the city,
to permit the spoliation of its beauty by
the street cleaning department using the
banks Of the creek for dumping purposes.
'eThts outrage can be stopped today. It
needs no legislation" he said. He was
loudly applauded. which manifestation
called forth the statement from Commits
sioner Mcfarland, who was presiding.
that It Is the invariable rule at public
hearings in the District building to re-
frain from such manifestations Of approval
or disapproval He also took occasion to
say that the street cleaning department is
only using a very small space on these
banks for dumping purposes. and that the
majority Of the dumping Is done on private
property and by private concerns.
mo one has the interest Of the city at
heart more than the Commissioners" he
said.

"The improvement OF Rock creek be-

the second section extending from Penn
savanna avenue to the Potomac Park.
me second section will be q park and
viaduct combination which vii be the
same whether or not the section above
Fennsy!vania avenue is treated as q COW
ereo waterway or open park. The esti-
mated cost Of this lower section is about
$1'SO,OOO. Three estimates have been
made Tor the treatment Of the upper sec
ton. The first estimate was on the basis
OF the tunnel extending from Massachu-
sets avenue to Pennsylvania avenue, the
cost OF which ts estimated at eight and
one-ha.f million dollars After the All

settled 1t Is the intention to take out the
necessary area for streets and sell the re-
manning portion Of the recla med area.
This fill will take about ten years to set
tie, and therefore will not be sold for at
least that time. Therefore the interest on
the eight and a half million dollars in
vested, and which interest amounts to
about two and ha ( million dollars.

the total cost up to I'll. OOO. 600 The saIv-

Represents Society Of Fine Arts.
The first person to address the hearing
was Henning Jennings. a member Of the
National Society Of the Fine Arts. He
said he was member Of a special COM
naittee Of that organization which pre-
pared paper upon the preservation Of
tho valley as public park. and that that
paper with its various recommendations
had been placed in the hal.ds of the
Commissioners moro than q half q year
ago. He said tho substance Of this paper
was that the valley should be treated as
an open public park, crossed as often as
may be necessary by handsome and sub
stantial bridges, fanked by traffic roads
city streets and including at lower level
near the stream drive or drives and
such paths as may be needed.
Glenn Brown, q member OF this COM
rnittss and q member Of the American
Architects Association, also spoke in ad-
vocacy Of the open treatment.
In the absence of Smith Thompson

Association. Commissioner Mcfarland
read letter written by Mr.. Thompson

the closed treatment were w. w. Ander-
