ROADS TO MT. VERNON
Boulevards Urged Along Both Sides
of the Potomac River to Great
Falls and Nations Mecca.

A boulevard on both sides OF the
Potomac river from Washington to
Great Falls.
A bridge across the Potomac at
Great Falls connecting these houle-
wards.
A boulevard from Washington
south to Mt. Vernon, connecting with
the upper Potomac Park develop
ment.
These, in brief, were the sugges-
tions made to the National Park
Conference yesterday by A. 3. Cas-
selman, as the next stage in the de-
yelopment Of Washington's park
system
Mr.. Casselman, an employe OF
the Interior Department, has made
prolonged study of the scenic beau
ties of the Potmac, with a view to
adapting park plan to make them
accessible.
Mr.. Casselpan pointed out the
p.opriety of connecting the Great
Falls boulevard with Mt Vernon
because George Washington was
deeply interested in Great Falls and
helped dig the canals there, the first
in this country.
Below the Highway bridge, and
north of Alexandria he said, there
lie 400 OF 500 acres of shallow river
which should be reclaimed.
Some Of the portion Of the origi-
nal District of Columbia, ceded back
to Virginia in 1864, Mr.. Casselman
said, should be restored to the Ma
tional Government, because the
Government has interests of great
magnitude, especially those in the
power site at Great Falls, along
both sides of the river.

Already the newspapers and the

that the police case against Lewis is

of Grace Roberts apartments was
