STREET CHANGES
URGED BY BOARD
Planning Committee Takes
Up Conditions West of 18th
Street Area.
Changes of streets on the highway

Changes of streets on the highway
plan in the area west of Sixteenth
street and north of Piney Branch,
and in the section south of Conduit
road, were considered today by the
co-ordinating committee of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, and certain changes rec
commended.
The land for the proposed streets
has not been acquired and the streets
have not been opened, therefore, no
questions of the changes in building
lines are affected by the recommends
ton. which will be made to the Com
miSSiOnerS.
Taylor Street Change Urged.
The committee, according to Maj.
Carey Fl. Brown, chairman, recon-
mended that the present line ot Tay-
lor street in the Sixteenth street area
be curved to the northWard to meet
Upshur street at it's junction with the
present eastern boundary of Rock
. Creek Park. The roadway there, it
was disclosed, will be kept ut a high
level. with the idea of preserving the
park scenery at this point, with the
idea in mind that at some future date
a bridge would be built across the
valley at the city street level cor
responding somewhat to the height of
the Calvert Street Bridge.
The changes south of Conduit road
are made necessary by the proposed
plan to widen this roadway to a
boulevard width of 120 feet. The inn
provements and grading in connection
with the widening have made it neces-
sary to move the lines of certain pro.
posed streets in order that the drain.
age under the road from the north
may be carried by highways to the
Potomac River below.
Drainage Pockets" Feared.
If this were not done, it was point
ed out, the changes would cause so
called drainage pockets" in which
storm water would collect. 1t has
been recommended to move the pres
ent line of Weaver place eastward tC
take in an old culvert under the Con
duit road; to retain an old road which
runs into the Canal road at low level
and at the same time to connect II
with Potomac avenue or the proposed
cliff drive at high level.
Another slight change will have tC
be made in the line of Dana place, if
being necessary to move this to the
westward. The whole area will be
made the subject Of a general survey
and 1t is planned to have a cOmpre
hensive report by the December meet
ing, when final recommendations for
highway changes there will be made
to the Commissioners.

plan as absurd" and asserts that
"feW children are injured or killed on
the way to school" She declares the
later hours would interfere with after
school classes in elocution and music,
and believes no good purpose would be
served by keeping children out of
morning traffic "only to turn them
out in the evening traffic."
The other, signed by T.. II. Pull
man. who is president of the Manor
Park Citizens Association, claims that
change would disorganize the
customs Of the child and of the
home.'
His letter in part follows:
For many years schools have
opened at 8 am, and change would
disorganize the customs of the child
and of the home.
1--WE have always had dangers of
one kind and another on the streets,
and they exist at all hours of the day.
"In some suburban communities
there is no great traffic danger, as the
schools are on other than main high
ways.
II believe in safety and think the
real remedy is for those driving
vehicles Of any description to exercise
greater caution at street crossings.
particularly near schools OF where
they see groups of children going
to or returning from school or en-
gagged in play"
"A third letter, containing no ballot
and signed zone of the Mothers" ="
cites three arguments against a
change, viz: Some children, now car
+ Lried to school in their fathers cars,
would have to walk to school: later
closing hour would leave the children
little time for recreation, and "chil.
dren are a great deal more careful
where there is much traffic than
where it is light"

street development, that should be
studied. "Give us also some horrible
example you think exists in the Dis
trict," Mr.. Reid asked.
The witness said he thought that
Chevy Chase presented one illustra
ton of locality where there was no
need for checkerboard streets.
While Mr.. Mitchell was advocating
national representation for the peo-
pie of the District, he explained that
| many Washingtonians do not take
active part in civic affairs because of
a feeling that the Federal Govern
ment will run Washington anyhow
SO why should we join these organi-
zations." He gave this explanation
after Mr.. Reid had called attention
to the small attendance at today's
session of the committee. Mr.. Mitchell
also explained that recently the Senate
and House District committees have
paid more attention to District affairs
than in the past.
Urges More Sanitary Schools.
A. II. Gregory Of the school COM
| mittee of the Stanton Park Associa-
| ton, called the attention Of the COM
mittee to the need for improving san
itary conditions in a number of the
| older school buildings.
Mrs Harvey W. Wiley, who has
made a study Of the needs Of the
| Juvenile Court for the KalOrama As
| sociation, was present to outline the
| needs of that court. Mr.. Reid ex-
| planned that Representative Mcleod
| of Michigan had appointed a special
| subcommittee to draft Juvenile Court
| legislation which would make it un-
| necessary for this committee to go
| into that question now.
Jesse G. Suter, president Of the Fed
GRAFTON of Citizens Associations and
chairman Of the Citizens Advisory
| Council, notified the committee that
the pressure Of business prevented his
, attendance today, but expressed will
| ingness TO give the committee. in
writing, his views on District affairs.
Capt Julius l. Peyser, active in civic
affairs, advised the committee that he
would be out OF the city today, but
would be glad to appear later.
Makes Three Suggestions.
Miss Mary E. Lazenby Of the Con
duit Road Association wrote the com.
mittee giving three suggestions for
| Study-namely, creation. Of the Office
/ Of health commissioner in the Dis
| trict government, transfer of juris-
diction over school sites to the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission and a regulation making
1t obligatory on the District to lay
curbing along all new streets and re-
quire the city to plant trees as new
streets are opened.
W. R Caples Of the Richmond Park
Association was present, but was not
called upon.

resume hearings until November 8.
