18TH STREET ROAD
PLANS APPROVED
Planning Commission Makes
Public Proposal for En-
trance to Capital.

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission today approved
and made public its plans for the Six
tenth street entrance to Washington.
A sketch of the plan for the impoS-
ing entrance on Sixteenth street at the
District line, prepared by william T.
Partridge, consulting architect to the
commission, was released for publica-
ton today by Capt. E. N. Chisolm, jr,
engineer of the commission.
The plans, Endorsed by the District
Government, call for an overall width
on Sixteenth street of 100 feet, with a
70-foot-wtde central panel and a So
foot road on either side.
Buildings Represent Gateway.
The low point of this project is near
the District line and it is proposed to
put one of the old original District
bound stones at the intersection of the
District line and Sixteenth street, in the
traffic island" already at that point
Four small buildings, giving the inn
preston of a gateway, will be placed in
the scheme.
The commission has purchased the
land on both sides of this portal for
park purposes. The road leading to
the west goes into Rock Greek Park
while the road to the east will lead
JTdIIlC 10 the COleSVllle PIKE, IN Mary
land, under the Baltimore & Ohio I'M
derpaSs, now under construction. Six
tenth street proper will continue on
to Maryland, with the road leading to
the west that now takes motorists to
Bethesda, Md. It has not as yet been
decided where the continuation of Six
tenth street in Maryland will lead to,
as this is a matter to be determined in
conjunction with the Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning Commission.
Monument Is Proposed.
The study prepared by Mr.. Partridge
proposes q monument at the top of the
portal, with a cascade tumbling down
into q pool where Sixteenth street
slopes down hill toward the District
line.
Where the cascade is to be built there
is now paved roadway, which will be
eventually taken out, under the COM
MISSIONS plan, to make way for the
monument and the parking effect. The
reason this was done, the engineers ex-
planned was that the two side roads of
38 feet each, are to be constructed on
filled ground in that valley. 1t was
necessary to allow the filled ground to
settle and while nature Is assisting IN

This is the opinion of Charles Hen

of the Office of Public Buildings and
Public Parks, if the weather continues
favorable. Mr.. Henlock, for some weeks
past, has been setting April / as the
probable date for the cherry blossoms
to be at their best While today is a
little cold, Mr.. Henlock said, he expects
the blossoms will be in their prime to-
morrow-provided Old Man Weather
doesn't play an April fool prank on the
National Capital.
Yesterday the cherry blossoms were
the mecca for thousands, from PreSi-
dent and Mrs. Hoover down to the
humblest Washingtonian. The trees
now in bloom are the single-blossom
