MANLOvE PRAISES
GLEN ECHO SECTION
Sees Prospect of Development Into
Picturesque Residential Area,
Citizens Told.

The prospect Of development Of tho
Glen Echo section into one of the
most picturesque residential areas of
the Nation was held forth by Repre-.
sentative Manlove of Missouri To
members of the Glen Echo Citizens
Association in an address at meeting
in the Glen Echo community hall last
night.
Inevitably" Mr.. Manlove said. some
person with perspective will see the
great possibilities of this beautiful sec
ton with the Palisades of the Potomac
to the South framed by the wonderful
Virginia landscape. If only first a
wide boulevard is cut through this sec
ton before building on large scale
starts. which might rob the highway
of it's natural route. the prediction
may be made that this section will
form a residential and scenic beauty
spot near the National Capital which
will become a thing of national i'm
portance.
Mckinley w. Kreigh, president of
the association, reported that favor
able action might be expected on a
pending bill in the Maryland Assem-
bly, providing for a $4,000 school
building, which he declared would re-
suit favorably for Glen Echo i'll the
