PARKWAY PLANS
WILL Be OFFERED
Fine Arts and Park Commits
SionS viii Consider Vir-
ginia Project.
the case are shown above before

Broad general plans for the develop
ment Of the riverside driveway on the
Virginia shore of the Potomac River,
from the Arlington Memorial to the
Key Bridge, will be laid before the
Fine Arts Commission and the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, probably on Thursday,
when the two bodies convene in joint
session. This was made known today
by c. Marshall Finnan, superintendent
of the National Capital Parks, who Is
preparing the program for the ex-
penditure of $280.000 for highway
construction, made available last week
by Secretary Ickes, out of the Hayden
highway act.
The National Park Service hopes to
construct a road northward on Co
lumbia Island, with a new bridge
across the boundary channel at the
northwestern end of the island, and
carry the highway upstream along the
Virginia shore. There viii be no
motor highway development on Theo-
dore Roosevelt Island. At the new
bridge across the boundary channel,
provision will be made for connec-
ton with the Lee Highway, near
Rosslyn, Va.
Funds I'm Sight.
Present indications are that suffi-
cient funds are In sight only to build
the riverside drive to a point below
the Key Bridge. A connection will be
made there with the Rosslyn Circle.
Later an underpass beneath the
Virginia abutments of the Key Bridge
will be built to carry the highway
on up toward Great Falls, in the
George Washington Memorial Park
way program. Tentative plans pro-
vide for connection with the Key
Bridge when that part of the high
way can be completed, much. after
the fashion of the Glover Leaf" de-
velopment at the Virginia end Of
the Highway Bridge, where connec-
tions are available to the Mount
Vernon Memorial Highway.
VIII Consider Purchases.
At its three-day meeting, Thursday,
rIlUhy dklQ 6aIuTudy OI ILLS week, The
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission will consider the progress
Of land purchases on the Virginia
shore. Much of the land on which
the $280.000 highway will be con-
structed is not yet in Government
ownership. Columbia Island. how
ever. is owned by the United States.
The planners hope that the COM
missions land-purchasing officer, H.
Tudor Morsell, who has been loaned"
to the Public Works Administration
and has been busy recently with a
low-cost housing project in Atlanta,
Ga, will be able to insure that title
will be vested in the United States,
without delay. The commission now
has 100000 with which to buy this
Virginia shore land.
If the purchase Of the land, be-
tween the Arlington Memorial and
Key Bridges should be delayed for
long it would tie up indefinitely a
large share Of the $3.50, 900 highway
construction fund.
