This Mcmillan plan Is now being
studied by the three cooperating
agencies, the Engineer Commissioner,
Park Commission and Army Engi-
neer in rivers and harbors work. so
as to work out comprehensive and
harmonious development with the ap-
Arts.
All four executive officers have had
intimate and lengthy association with
the work of carrying along the
LEnfant plan and subsequent modif-
cations for perfecting the Capital
Beautiful. The Engineer Commits
sioner OF the District, Lieut.. Col. Bell,
Is devoting himself assiduously TO this
work. because for nearly n quarter of
a century he has been looking toward
the proper treatment of the water
front ami hopes that work may be
started before he is assigned away
from Washington. The waterfront at

nothing but marshland. He has seen
the entire development OF Potomac
Park and the Identification of the

extremely hopeful that he will yet

to the fact that Baltimore and Nor
