C. APITAL-PLANNING DIFFICULTIES
SEEN BY WASHINGTON IN 1890
Land Owners Problem for First President
as They Are Now, Lieut.. Col. Grant
Says-Welter of Advice Offered.

President Washington foresaw the
difficulties with land owners which now
confront the Federal authorities in the
of the plan OF Washing
ton. Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant. Sd. d.
rector OF Public Buildings and Public
Parks says In symposium OF the
American Institute OF Architects, made
public yesterday.
The commission of 1900. appointed
TO lay out the new Federal City on
the exact site selected by Washington
and In accordance with the plan OF
Mai Charles Pierre L'Enfant. an en-
gineer officer who had served with dis
tinction during the Revolution, was
aided In a way worthy OF emulation to-
dav. according To Col Grant.
Unfortunately" Col Grant declares.
the commissioners were woefully
crar.ped for funds to do even the ir-
reducible minimum of what was es-
sential in preparing the site selected TO
receive the young Federal Government
on the date established BY Congress for
its removal from Philadelphia TO the
new Federal City. namely. the first
Monday in December in the year ons
thousand eight hundred
In lieu OF an appropriation Tor the
work with which they were charged
the commissioners were authorized ana
requested to accept grants OF money
Under this authority they received
sl2c. 900 appropriated by Virginia and
So 900 from Maryland.
Land Bought at Low Price.
"Thev were also greatly helped by
the favorable terms 10 which the
original owners OF land within the new
district were persuaded by President
Washington TO agree. including the
dedication of the rights OF way Tor
streets and avenues, and the sale OF
the land needed for public buildings
and improvements at approximately
s6667 an acre. although this price was
doubtless very good one for those
wooded and little improved acres, how
ever small It may have appeared when
compared 10 the prices the owners
hoped To get for the remainder OF their
estates In selling them of as city lots
within the new Federal City.
1t would be very helpful II more Of
the landowners today, who hold prop
crty needed for municipal improve
ments, could see the wisdom OF parting
with their holdings at reasonable
price In consideration OF the general
of values that necessarily
results to the benefit Of property own
ers from the execution of such improve
ments
After a century and third the COM
petence and foresight and good iuds-
ment OF Mai L'Enfant as a city plan
ner are internationally established and
this great and wealthy nation Is s,ill
reaping the benefits and economies
directly resulting from his plan

ing officers who were responsible
IL for aces back in 1918 Frank
Luke, as told in previous chap
te.s, and several other outstanding air
fighters had made their last fights in
those few weeks and the enthusiasm of
Ingalls, led to a fear in the minds of his
supcriors that he. too. perhaps might
embark on his final fight if he were al
lowed Ia run wild at the front He had
won his place in history and had a
long and useful life before him if he
we're permitted to live it out So. on
October 6. he was sent to Eastleigh
Field in England on instruction duty
Though his heart was over the turbu-
lent fields of Flanders. he remained pro-
Saically on his new assignment until
the end of the war.
In December the young veteran re-
turned to the United States with the
record Of having done more damage on
the enemy and having killed and
wounded more Germans in his bombing
raids than any other American soldier

Germans. Talbot and his observer
Corp. Robinson. shot down one OF the
Fokkers and kept the rest embroiled in
an aerial "dogfight" until his slower
charges had flown beyond the reach OF
pursuit. Then he disengaged his ship
from the fight by long dive and left
the Fokkers far behind.
This first battle showed that the
young Marine was a qualified member
OF the corps. Fol.r days later his COM

ing letter. which is here copied from
