WAR PARKWAY
IN VIRGINIA
PLANNED
Route to Cross Six Counties,
From Washington to
Shenandoah

Creation Of a civil war parkway
from Washington to the Shenandoah
valley, to connect with the pro-
posed Blue Ridge national park
and to preserve the battlefields of
Bull Run. Gainesville, Chantilly
and a score of lesser engagements,
is being considered by civic orga1i-
cations in Virginia communities
along the proposed route and soon
will be submitted to the National
Capital Park Commission, it was
/ learned today.
Civic groups, including Chambers
of Commerce and Kiwanis clubs of
Fairfax, Manassas, Warrenton, New
market and Staunton are backing
the plan, it was stated. The project
has the endorsement of Lieutenant
Colonel c. o. Sheriff., director of
public buildings and parks and
executive officer Of the park COM
mission. The Lee Highway Asso-
citation is also behind the plan.
Across Six Counties
The proposed parkway would fol-
low generally the course of the Lee
Highway and would traverse por-
tons of six Virginia counties-ar-
lington, Prince William, Fauquier,
Culpeper, Rappahannock and either
Page or Madison.
If the plan is adopted, together
with the proposed double parkway
from Washington to Baltimore and
the proposed memorial boulevard
from Washington to Richmond, mo-
torsts will be able to travel from
Baltimore through Washington to
the Shenandoah Valley without ever
leaving a parkway.
The Virginia Parkway could be
acquired now with relatively small
expense, advocates of the plan state
The assurance that Virginia State
officials will assist in the plan has
been given, it is said.
The parkway, which would be
one of the most extensive in the
world, would include large areas
Of the most beautiful Virginia coun-
tryside, still in it's natural condi-
ton. The country proposed for in
clusion in the park is mostly roll
ing" country, densely wooded with
pine and cedar groves.
The park would lead directly to
the portion of the Blue Ridge
highest portion of the range and
some of the most beautiful natural
scenery in the East
Section Is Historic.
The battlefield of Bull Run, one
Of the most historic in the country,
would be included. This scene of
two desperate battles Is already a
mecca for thousands of visitors a
wear, despite the present poor con-
dition of portions of the road.
Practically every foot of the pro-
posed parkway is on the site of
some skirmish or battle during the
civil war. It was crossed many
times by the armies Of the Potomac

regulations made effective re-
Gently.
Tried It Out.
eff there is ever a mistake
made" he wrote EIdridge, "it is to
modify a restriction once estab-
lished. / have tried this out many
times, and I find that If you start
out with a reasonable restriction, az
EI5think you have in this case, and
then let the public know that It
can be modified by a little protest
ing, that is the beginning of the
end.
"In addition to this, by the time
you modify the restriction, people
usually are about familiar with 1t
and to modify 1t again creates de-
lays and congestion. This, have
particularly observed, during sthe
last two weeks of the limitations on
parking. / hope you will not mod
ify the rule

on the practice of policemen stand

traffic.

When the POttsyiIIe pitcher threw

right I'm front of the plate and the
ball struck him square1y on the ear.
He went down for the count, and
when he was finally brought back

Anton Stephan, vice president

Engineer Commissioner J. Frank

advantage to have more double
deck buses in the business Sec

''The double-deck bus is not

tractive means of transportation
, for at least nine months of the
year." he wrote.
Text of Letter.
Stephan's letter in part follows:
cit has been suggested that the
Merchants and Manufacturers As
ISOLATION express its views with re-
spect to the introduction Of the
double-deck buses in the down
town section.
in the absence of our president
and first vice president, and a
formal meeting of the. board Of gov
errors, / am taking the liberty OF
submitting the following:
''It is my opinion that it is the
sentiment of the business interests
in the business section that the
double-deck buses be brought into
this section as already provided for.
LAS to the trimming Of the trees
and the harm that might come
from that, we are, of course, in
no sense able to judge, but under
standing that the trees have been
trimmed on other streets at other
times we see no reason why there
should not be pruning of additional
trees at this time.
Pruning Desirable.
I'VE all understand that trees in
order to thrive must be kept pruned
and that overhanging branches are
undesirable under All circumstances.
I'm the light of the traffic situa-
ton as it exists today, it is not
only desirable but most important
that additional facilities should be
provided for the transportation OF
people into the business district"
