BELL ASSERTS D. c.
IS OVER0RGAN|zED
Says Commissioners Must
Deal With Too Many
Bodies.

The large number of organiza tions
in Washington make 1t impra ctica bile
for the Commissioners to deal with
all parties interested in all subjects
affecting the District. Engineer Com
missioner J. Franklin Bell declared
today in his reply to the recent criti-
cism of the Washington Board of
Trade that the Commissioners failed
to consult with the citizens on the
city's needs in recommending legis-
lation to Congress.
Writing to J. Harry Cunningham m.
president of the board. Commissioner
Bell said:
There are so many business, civic.
professional and special orga MIA tions
with which to deal that conferences
with all interested parties on all sub
1ects are impra racticahle. Public hear
ings are held frequently on matters
Of general interest"
Explains Extension View.
Commissioner Bell also explained
his reasons for agreeing to the COM
promise bill providing for the exten.
sion Of Fourteenth street through the
Walter Reid Hospital grounds as fol-
lows:
"You may not be familiar with the
circumstances that made it advisable
to agree to a proviso restricting travel
through the grounds. Not only was
the original bill defeated by the pre-
Vious Congress, but an amendment
was made to the appropriation act so
that the Commissioners cannot open
that part of Fourteenth street from
Montague street to the hospital reser-
vation-almost three-quarters of a
mile in extent-and the property own.
ers are very anxious to open that Sec
ton and develop their properties.
Several of them are willing to dedi-
cate the street, but some condemna-
ton Will be necessary, as there are
houses in the way.
III you should consult the members
OF the District committee of the House
Of Representatives, l believe that Won
would be convinced that the original
bill would fail of favorable report bv
that committee, and would certainly
be defeated by the House itself should
a favorable report be rendered.
Compromise Necessary.
"The restricted traffic clause was not
designed by the Commissioners any
more than it was by the property own.
ers, but my conferences with the
chairman of the District committees
Oh the senate ana house and the hos
pital authorities convince me that
some such proviso must be inserted
or the bill would continue to fail OF
with serious damage to
those property owners between Mon.
tague street and the hospital.
"A compromise is hardly ever sat
isfactory, but / have heard of no al
formative that is any better.
II had many conferences with the
interested property owners, and, while
none of us desired the restrictive
those most familiar with the
are willing to accept it
as the best obtainable. Even as it
Is, am afraid the bill will not be
enacted; and If it fails, the conditions
in the large area this side of the hos
pital are going to be very trying.
am In full accord with your views that
the Commissioners should keep in
close touch with interested property
owners and others relative to legisla-
tive and budget matters. and have
initiated steps to that end during the
past two years."
