cuss Meeting With Fine
Arts Group.

proposed for the new War and Navy De-
partments will be considered by the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission during its three-day meeting

the possibility Of adjusting Virginia ave-
nue. TO permit of straight view on to
the Washington Monument.
Two locations for the new War and
Navy Departments are under considera-
tion-one near the Interior Department
Building and another proposal is to
place them opposite the Municipal Gen.
ter in the Mall region.
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, vice chair
man and executive officer Of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, explained today that
Virginia avenue will become an i'm
portant thoroughfare in the northwest,
when the Rock Creek and Potomac
Parkway is completed. The proposal is
to move the avenue about Is feet in the
region of New York avenue, to
strsighten the highway so as to give
a direct view to the Washington Monu-
ment, as this is the only street in the
city which permits of this, Col. Grant
pointed out. AS the Government owns
all the land affected by the proposed
change, it Is considered comparatively
easy matter to arrange for the reloca-
ton of the street.
The commission during its meeting
will consider the question of B street
south. There is park area of about
a quarter of a mile wide which lacks
cross streets and it is proposed to create
one through east and west street, link
ing up with Strengthened B street
south to permit additional access tc
the Arlington Memorial Bridge ano
eastward to Anacostia when that sec.
ton Of the city is more fully developed
In this plan for the future the new
