Urged BY Commission.

A
Commission, headed by President
Coolidge. in its report to Congress
urged this Improvement of extending,
widening and repaVing with asphalt
of 2 street throughout its entire
length as Essential to allow the full
est use TO be made of the route over
the proposed bridge to the Arlington
National Cemetery, as IL would be the
natural boulevard of approach to the
cemetery from the Capitol. Not only
would this be of much value in con-
junction with the bridge building
project, but it would be OF great value
in diverting a large portion of traffic
now Congesting Pennsylvania avenue,
especially in the vicinity Of the Treas
ury Building westward beyond the
White House to streets leading north
and northwest. B streeswould thus
become throughout its entire extent
splendid boulevard bordering the park
system"
Linked with the B street develop
ment, the commission headed by Presi
dent Coolidge also urged the widening
Of Twenty-third street from Wash
ington Circle southwark TO 3 street
Immediately north of the Lincoln
Memorial, as another important and
closely related project" The com
mission pointed out that "on all i'm
portant memorial occasions occurring
in Potomac Park or in the Arlington
Cemetery, Twenty-third street would
thus become the most important
north and south route for all of the
northwest section Of the city. and
| would become the popular means OF
approach to the Lincoln Memorial and
the Arlington Memorial Bridge. AT
the present time this important ap-
proach is too narrow to meet the rea-
sonable demands of traffic.

extending and widening B street and
widening Twenty-third street was
