VIRGINIA PLANNING
COMMISSION SEEN.
Capital Park Group Members
Believe Organization Would
Aid District of Columbia.

A park and planning commission for
the adjacent section of Virginia that
will have power similar to that given
the Maryland body is looked for by
members of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission as the result
Of the recent visit of Gov. John Gar
land Pollard and the Virginia General
Assembly in Washington.
Believing that such law will be
passed by the Virginia General Assem-
bly, and signed by Gov. Pollard in the
near future, members of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
see a more rapid solution of several
problems in which Washington has a
vital interest.
One of the pressing problems await
ing action is that of an adequate hook
up with the Virginia terminus of Ar
ing completion. The bridge across
Boundary Channel from Columbia
Island to the Virginia shore is rapidly
being constructed, and the problem will
become more acute as the bridge build
ing progresses.
Another problem In Northern Vir-
ginia related to the National Capital is
that of providing an artistic approach
to Key Bridge and cleaning up" Ross
lyn, Va. One of the strides applauded
by the audience at the presentation of
the regional plan by the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission in
Constitution Hall last Friday evening
was the study of how Rosslyn, Va.
might look when reconstructed. Lieut..
Col. u. S. Grant, Sd, the commissions
vice chairman and executive officer,
explained briefly the plan.
