CHEVY CHASE WILL
PRESS PARK FIGHT
Citizens Aroused Over Blow At
KIingIe Valley Project BY
House Conferees.

Chevy Chase citizens are up in
arms. They are preparing to wage
the most bitter fight in the history OF
the fashionable suburb against what
they term an imposition by the con-
ferees OF the House on the District
appropriation bill.
The trouble all arises over the
kllngle valley proposition. For years,
II is said. the citizens of Chevy Chase
have urged Congress to buy the at
tractive site and make II part of the
Capital city's park system. Then.
when victory seemed almost certain,
a movement was set on foot by the
bill the amendment which calls for
park, on the grounds of economy.
Hold "IndIgnatIon Meeting
An indignation meeting was held
last night by the executive committee
-of the Connecticut Avenue Citizens
Association at the home OF the pres
ident, W. B. Westlake. resolution
was drawn up and sent to the District
Committee. again urging that Klingle
valley be added 10 the park system.
The Fine Arts Commission long ago
put its stamp of approval on/Klingle
valley as an addition to the park site.
and its purchase has been recon-
mended by fhe District Commission
ers.
Point To Advantages.
The Chevy Chase citizens point
out that KlitgIe valley is the only
entrance to Rock Creek Park between
the upper end and Tilden street which
Is not closed by 6 o'clock in the even
ing. They also point to its advantages
as a park site.
They say Congress has accused
them OF wanting to give real estate
dealers a boost by having the Gov
ernment purchase the site. They
declare, however. they have no inter-
est in real estate dealers and that the
real estate dealers do not want to sell
the picturesque site to the Govern
ment, but want TO cut il up into build
ing lots and thereby sell IL at higher
prices.
The citizens also want a bridge over
Klingle valley.
