Outline of Proposition.

Our working plan includes at the
outset development OF the boulevard
from the Virginia terminus of the
Arlington Memorial Bridge through
Radnor Heights and Fort Myer
I Heights to'the Porter Woods. on the
west side of Fort Myer Heights. We
believe we will be able to secure an
absolutely free right-ofway from the
bridge to Fort Buffalo, at the inter-
section of Wilson boulevard extended
and the Leesburg pike, along a line
which can be easily reached along ex-
listing roads and streets by every COM
munity in Arlington County.
I'VE have carried the boulevard to
q point within a few hundred yards
of Taylor avenue in Clarendon, and
all that will be necessary for Clar-
endon and BallSton to connect them
selves with the bridge will be to widen
| out Taylor avenue to 100 feet.
I'VE thus assume we will have the
united support of Arlington County to
the full share Of its interest in the
, quick development of the section
| from the bridge to the Porter Woods.
| The section from the Porter Woods
to Fort Buffalo is located through a
part of Arlington and Fairfax coun-
| ties, where, for lack of facilities of
communication, there has been little
development. 1t might seem. there
| fore, that the county's interest in the
development of this section Of the
boulevard would not be SO great as
| in the section from the Porter Woods
to the bridge.
/ 1T would, however, be an error to
assume this to be a fact. 1t will be
seen that, beginning in the very near
| future development viii start in this
! undeyeloped part of the county and
| this development will call for class
| of residences involving considerable
| expenditure. a class of people will
| be attracted to Arlington who will be-
come taxpayers and the increase in
the assessable wealth of the county
bv the development of the more
| southerly route will be far in excess
of the increase if~the boulevard had
| been located through Il section al
ready developed.
| This increase in the assesSable
wealth will materially increase the
funds with which to pave all the roads
of the county, install sewers, build
schools. etc. 1 assume, therefore, that
| the county as a unit will cooperate
with us in the realization of this
| project as rapidly as possible"
The business interests of Washing
ton are "vitally concerned" in the
J project, DIR. Johnson said. The con-
| struction of the memorial bridge, the
| DEVELOPMENT of the Shenandoah Ma.
| tional Park and the joining of the two
by "the finest boulevard in the world
! will result in Il rapid increase in
population and enlargement of bust
| ness in this city, he explained.
:"ro what extent and in what ways
the business interests of Washington
will cooperate with us will be mat
tiers for careful consideration on the
part of all whose interests are in

beyond, to Gettysburg, to New York,
to Annapolis and to other points"
DIR. Johnson emphasized the point
that the Lee Highway Association re-
CARDS the Lee boulevard, connecting
as it will. the Capital and the Shenan-
doah National Park, as essentially
National undertaking" The Govern
ment, he said, should be deeply inter-
ested in this project, and he is expect,
ing the Incorporation of 100000
American citizens"
I'VE cannot think that Washington
will be permitted to remain as 1t is
a second or third rate capital-with
nothing but country lanes reaching
out beyond the District, while other
ca ital CitieS-Paris, for example,
have many magnificent boulevards
radiating to points far beyond the
city limits" he explained.
Other parties at interest In the
associations plan for realization" 1t
was stated, are 1.-The Commonwealth
of Virginia, the citizens of Arlington
and Fairfax Counties, the land owners
in the immediate boulevard zone and
the business interests of Washing
tom
DIR. Johnson declared that the deep
interest" Of the State of Virginia in
the development of the new boulevard
had been expressed to him by former
Gov. Trinkle, Gov. Harry Byrd, the
state Highway Commission and by
leading citizens"
Assured of Cooperation.
1--WE have been assured of the com
plete cooperation of the governor and
the State Highway Commission" he
asserted. ION June we received
telegram from H. CT. Shirley. chair
man Of the commission. stating that
the highway commission will assume
jurisdiction over an S0-foot-W1de strip
of right of way and assuring us that
If our plans develop a 200-foot right of
way is none too wide
"Since an 1S-foot pavement now eX-
lists, or is under construction, from
Newmarket through the Senandoah
National Park and since the State
Highway Commission has already APP
proved the right-ofway, which we
have secured from Falls Church to
the bridge, and has agreed to assume
jurisdiction, our association relles
confidently upon the cooperation OF
the State to the full degree of its in
terest in making beginning, at
least, of continuous pavement from
the bridge to the park as rapidly as
funds permit and the Importance of
connecting Washington with the park
requires.
1--WE expect the cooperation OF
each county, and first Of all of Airing
ton County. in the carrying out OF
our plan, although the degree of CO.
operation may be different in differ
ent sections.

WANTS WAR DEBT
| FOR LEE HIGHWAY
Director Johnson Proposes
Method of Financing Mag
!. nificent Boulevard.

A gigantic financing scheme with
international ramitications, may he
employed by the Lee Highway Assoc
citation in seeking realization of its
ambitious Lee boulevard project, it
was indicated yesterday by Dr.. S. NJ.
johnson. general director OF the as
ISOLATION, in an interview with a Star
reporter.
While the association. he said, is
not yet ready to disclose in detail its
plans in this connection, DIR. Johnson
let it be known that France, the
United States Government, the State
OF rSlnia, counties traVerSed by the
highway, property owners along the
right OF way, and the business men
of the National Capital probably would
be involved in the scheme
If more money still were needed to
complete this 200-fOOt-Wide, 110-mile-
long super boulevard. DR.. Johnson de-
clared the association has other big
ideas" as to where vast funds
might he procured from private indi-
viduals.
Cost 100000 Mile.
The entire project, embracing a cen
trail 60-foot speedway thanked by two
30-foot roadWays for Slow traffic, with
sylvan parking strips framing the
whole ensemble. Will cost approx
mately 100000 "a mile, according to
the association. The total cost of the
whole boulevard, covering 10 miles,
apparently would be in the neighbOr-
hood of $4,000 900.
Frances connection with the Lee
boulevard is not so fantastic as it
might seem at first thought, if one
looks at 1t the optimistic way DR..
Johnson does. Broadly speaking, fac
tors entering into this proposition, as
conceived by the head of the Lee
Highway Association, include the
World War, the Mixed Claims Com
mission. the French debt, Congress
and the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
It's this way: France, it seems, ac-
quired millions of dollars worth of
American road-building machinery
and material stored III french ware
houses after the war America want
ed this equipment, but failed to get it.
due to & decision of the mixed claims
commission. Since France got the
machinery. America ought to get the
money paid for it and use it for build
ing roads, highways and boulevards,
especially the Lee boulevard, It is con-
tended by DR.. johnson.
