Plans for the development of civic

missioners today when they began con-
sideration of proposal by the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
that they initiate a campaign at the
coming session of Congress for authori-
cation to purchase the triangular site
north of Pennsylvania avenue between
Third and Sixth streets.
The Commissioners at the same time
also considered the preparation of a
model of the projected development
similar to that of the Federal building
program in the triangular area south
of Pennsylvania avenue for which the
Treasury Department recently ad-
vertiSed for bids.
The Commission of Fine Arts and
the planning commission gave the pro-
posed municipal center development a
general Endorsement last year. The
planning commission has impressed on
the commission the urgency of laying
the foundation for condemnation pro-
ceedings to acquire the land before
the property is developed by private
interests. which would enhance its value
and make its purchase by the District
Reports have been heard at the Dis
