that, while small parcels Of land

more than five years have elapsed

purchase of the land and the de-

The fact that $500, 900 is go
irs to be spent for the construc.
tion of new buildi' IS on the
Capitol plaza, and the develop
ment Of the park between the
Capitol and the Union Station,
shows the retl extent Of the work
about to be done to make Wash.
ington the greatest Of world
capitals.
This expenditure is independent
of that for the MallTriangle
development, or for the civic cen
ter, or the other great public
works In progress. It means In
effect that within the next five
years upwards of $2OO. .0OO, 900 Is
going to be spent In the purchase
of land and construction work In
the city.
No similar work Of reconstruc.
ton probably has ever been at
tempted In any other city Of the
world. The Identification Of the
threshold of the city-the park
between Union Station and the
Capitol-along with the develop
ment Of the plaza itself, Is q work
whose potentialities are little
dreamed of now. The new Bo-
tanic Gardens to stretch alonS to
the AnacoStia, the acquisition Of
that rather dead section Of the
city lying directly southwest of
the Capitol are o part Of an artis-
tic municipal project whose scope
puts it far above anything ever
attempted since the golden era In

There is a possibility that a
double murder may have been
committed by outsiders. and the

be found.
Another theory is that the girl
