MALL TRAFFIC
DISCUSSED

Traffic problems in the Mall
area We're discussed yesterday at
the joint meeting of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion and Fine Arts Commission.
Charles W. Eliot II, city planner,
submitted plans for the extension
of Twelfth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Streets across the Mall showing
their relation to the roadways that
will run up the Mall from the
Monument to the Capitol.
A conference is planned with
officials OF the Standard Oil Com
pany for the purpose of having the
company erect A building between
Second and Third Sts. on the north
side Of PENNSYLVANIA Ave. that will
conform with the architectural
style Of the Federal buildings on
the south side.
Harvey w. Corhett, architect for
the Masonic Memorial to be erected
at Temple Heights explained to the
commission that he had eliminated
plans of Lincoln Memorial to which
the members OF the commission
objected because they resembled
these.
The proposed bridge across Wash.
ington channel at the exit from
Hains Point, according to the COM
mission would eliminate much of
the traffic congestion that occurs
as the automobiles cross under the
railroad tracks at that point. No
action was taken on a site for the
proposed memorial to Oscar Strauss.
