which President Coolidge is the head
and Vice President Dawes and Speak
er IIongworth assistant chairmen. The
plan is to have the boulevard COM
pleted in time for the celebration, and
effort will be made to have Congress
appropriate the money for the project
ut the next session.
Two routes have been suggested,
one following the high bluffs some
distance inland from the river and
avoiding Alexandria, and the other
comprising a shore drive at the rivers
edge. The Bureau of Public Roads
appears to favor the latter course, be-
cause of its scenic advantages. the
possibility Of artistic treatment Of the
river front. the lack Of intersecting
highways. the smoother topography
and numerous historical associations.
The river route would be 145 miles
long. as compared with 121a miles
for the upper route. The cost of con-
structing the upper road would be
25 per cent lower. It is pointed out
in behalf of the river route, however.
that a mile of the route already is
built. This applies to Washington
street, in Alexandria, which the road
would traverse.
Park Developments.
With the completion of the broad
program Of boulevards in Arlington
