said.
A new high-level bridge, upstream
from Calvert Street Bridge, was recon-

Plans Triangle Program.
For extension Of the park system
properly, In accordance with the Len
FAINT plan, the commission sets down a
program Of triangles and circles to
carry on the type of development es-
tablished in the older part of the city.
Under this heading, it reckons, in its
fiscal set-up acquisition of six acres al
an estimated cost CT S375 5,0G0.
Neighborhood parks, comprising
total of Is acres and representing S108,-
TOT, have thus for been acquired. To
complete this system three acres addi-
tional are necessary, and it Is expected
that these will cost $98,8l4.
Statutory authorization exists under
the act of December %, 1928, for the
commission to acquire rights in land or
restrictions to prevent destruction of
tree growth or natural scenery on steep
hillsides adjoining park areas at saw
ing to the taxpayers, the report asserts.
To complete this program it is esti-
mated that purchase of 81 acres at
cost Of $148,966 will be necessary.
Orderly Policy Prcyi-cd.
Declaring that the Cappc--Cramton
park purchase act has pr0vi-ei the
District with an orderly policy of de-
yelopmeIt Of its parks, the report as
serts that THE value Of what has been
done now very largely depends upon the
continuance of appropriations under
the Capper- -Cramton act to safeguard
areas threatened with destruction of
park values and to complete projects
already well advanced to a point where
they can be effectively utilized"
Presenting its balance sheet, the COM
said that at the end of the
fiscal year it had $836,149 unobligated.
As the commission was given no new
funds during the current fiscal year,
this sum has had to suffice. The COM
mission report explains: obligations
have since been incurred which cover
all of the balance remaining available"
