the concerns by obtaining credits from
British and other bankers, hut the
sudden development of the 80 90 600

impossible.
The failure of the Victoria Milling

SENATE RECONSIDERS PROPOSAL
TO PUT ALL PARKWAY COST ON ID. C..
Bill Put Back on Calendar at Request of Phpps OF
Colorado, Who Believes Appropriation Should
Be Made on a 6O-4O Basis.

The Senate today reconsidered its
which would have required District
taxpayers to bear the entire expense
of $500. ZOO to complete the connect
ing link between Rock Greek and
Potomac Parkway
At the request of Senator Phipps of
Colorado, who believes this appropria-
ton should be made on the basis of
60-40 between the United States and
the District government. the bill was
placed back on the Senate calendar,
which had the effect of setting aside
the approval voted by the Senate yes
tcrday.
When the Senate convened today,
Senator Phipps explained that he was
called from the chamber yesterday
just before the parkway bill was
reached and therefore did not have
an opportunity to present to the Sen
ate his amendment, under which the
land still needed to link the two park
ways would be paid for on 6040
basis.
His motion to reconsider was adopt
ed and he was then about to request
that the bill be recommitted to the Dis
trict committee, in order that he might
have an opportunity to present argu-
mentS to the committee in support of
his amendment. He explained that his
amendment had not been argued be-
fore the committee when it reported
the bill to the Senate.

ASK NEW BRIDGE
T0POTOMACP PARK
Fine Arts Body Also Proposes
2 Parks Along Water Street
in Beautifying Plan.

Construction of a vehicular bridge
across the Washington Channel south
Of the present Railroad Bridge at the
approximate extension of Fourteenth
street southwest, and establishment
of two small parks and a recreation
pier along Water street. were in
dorsed today by the National Com
mission of Fine Arts. The bridge
and park plans were submitted to the
commission by Maj. ]. A. OConnor.
engineer for the Washington District.
The plans, Maj. O'Connor said. were
only tentative, and will have to be
submitted to Congress for final
authorization.
The new bridge, according to Chair
man Moore of the commission, would
cost about $4,000 and will form a
gateway for residents of Southwest
Washington to enter Potomac Park
without going under the railway via
duct and across the present Four
teenth Street Bridge.
The parks are to be located between
Water street and the water front at
approximately Tenth and l. streets
and Eighth and H streets. The recrea-
ton pier, which will have a small park
at its land end, will be located at the
north boundary of the military res
ervation at Washington Barracks at
the approximate extensions of Sixth
and p streets. The entire develop
ment of the water front will be un-
dertaken, Mr.. Moore explained, as
soon as authorized by Congress and
the necessary appropriations made.
Water street will be repaved, two
of the four street car tracks now
traversing it's length removed, and
the entire dock line of the Washing
ton water front on the Washington
Channel side rearranged Mr.. Moore
described the proposed new bridges, to
cost about $4,000 as "a little bridge ;
Water street, under the plans of the
commission, would become the main
traffic artery between northwest
Washington and Anacostia. The pres
ent plans do not call for extensive
commercial development along the
water front, but are consigned to
Identification and improvements of
the present docks.
The commission indorsed the pro-
posed $3,000,000 construction project
for extension Of Walter Reed Hospital.
The commission did not discuss re-
moval of the tourist camp in East
Potomac Park to another site. 1t has
already gone on record as favoring
removal of the tourist camp to another
location, preferably on the Eastern
Branch. A joint resolution was intro
duced in Congress yesterday dealing
with the tourist camp and an appropri-
alton of $4,000 is already available for
the construction of permanent build
ing at the present tourist camp.
AT 2 o'clock this afternoon the men,
bers Of the commission inspected an
installation of flags on F street be-
tween Twelfth and Thirteenth, ar
ranged by the American Legion. Ger
monies were held in which the Dis
trict Commissioners joined. The COM
mission then resumed it's deliberations
at the Interior Department Building,
taking up the question of construc-
tion of a medical building at Howard
University and the size of the figures
for the Ericsson memorial under con-
struction in Potomac Park.

Ting the bill that it be left on the Sen
ate calendar, which would enable him
To present his amendment for consid-
GRAFTON on the floor of the Senate when
order.
Sestion and the bill was returned to
the calendar for later consideration.
If the action of yesterday had stood
unchanged, the entire $4,000 neces-
sary to complete the connecting OF the
parkway would have been taken from
the surplus revenues of the District of
Columbia, and since the House already
had passed the bill in that form, 1t
would have become a law within a few
days.
The action taken by Senator Phipps
today however, gives the District an
other chance to have Congress con-
slider the contention of local citizens
that the Federal Government should
bear a proportionate part of linking
these parkways. More than $1,000, 900
has been spent in past years on the
connecting of the parks, and all pre-
vious appropriations have been divid-
ed between the Federal and District
governments.
Local citizens contended il was un-
fair to take the last 5000 900 needed
entirely from the District surplus.
If the Senate should later adopt
the PhippS amendment. the bill then
would have to go to conference be.
tween the two houses.
