PLAN PUTS MARKET
SITE NORTHWEST
Retail Center Near Thomas
Circle Is Proposed to Fine
Arts Body.

Establishment of a great central re-
tail market somewhere in the area
bounded by Massachusetts avenue
Florida avenue and Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets when the Center
Market is forced out by the Govern
ment building program has been pro-
posed i'll q suggestion laid before the
Commission of Fine Arts.
The proposal has not yet been for
mallv placed before the individual
members of the fine arts body. but will
probably be so presented within a few
weeks 1t was brought to the atten-
ton Of the commission by Bert w
Kennedy. doorkeepcr of the House OF
Representatives. who is close friend
of Chairman Moore of the commission
Speaking entirely unofiicially, in the
absence of Mr.. Moore. Secretary Caem-
merer OF the commission said today the
location proposed in the area imme-
diately north of Thomas Circle is ideal
from the standpoint Of accessibility
from virtually every point III the con-
gested Northwestern section OF the city
Estimates Of the property needed for
purchase run as high as Sl0o00,O00,
In what was at one time an exclusive
residential section. The German en-
bassy and several of the finest homes
in Washington are now included IN
the area.
Mr.. Caemmerer said that while 1t
would not be practical TO extend rail
terminals to the door of the retail mar
ket. Rhode Island avenue and Massa-
chusetts avenue offer adequate facilities
tor motor bus transportation to the
proposed site.
Chairman Moore has been informed
that the retail market men are await
ing selection of a site for a farmers
market before pushing their needs pre-
ferring. he said to be situated at some
distance from the farmers market.
The matter will probably not be
brought before the February meeting
of the commission, as the fine arts
body will meet on February IN New
York with the architects OF the Ar
lington Memorial Bridge. TO discuss
only bridge problems. Another meet
ing is not scheduled until March.
