Damned" now by turning over this
valuable and unspoiled resource to pri-
vate interests, thus losing 1t for all time
to the people who should own 1t.
The American Institute Of Architects
and the American Society of Landscape
Architects, both organizations vitality
interested in the development of the
American Capital, are convinced that
the Cramton bill should be passed and
are emphatically opposed to the doubt
fully practical scheme Of park and
power development. In regard to the
latter, the American Society of Land
scape Architects declares that IF q
power project is carried out and dams
are erected it will so detract from the
present and potential scenic splendor of
this site as to render impossible a park
development subsequent to the installa-
ton of power plant, in any way COM
parable to that possible at the present
time"
This statement seems to knock into
a cooked hat the favorite contention Of
the power interests, to the effect that
a beautiful park development is posi-
BILE along with power development. That
narrows down the controversy to
whether the river is to be developed for
park purposes now, or power purposes
now. The Cramton bill provides for
park development now, with the power
question held i'll allegiance. It is to be
hoped that the Senate will act soon and
favorably on this measure.
