Worlds Loueliest Capital
Is Ideal of Eua1l H. Tucker
Man Rounding Out 41st Term a.
Northeast Citizens association Presi.
dent Visions City of Future.

Often he would work day and night on
a project. But he always has worked
with one idea in mind-to make
Washington a city comparable in
beauty and stateliness with the capi-
tails Of other nations-a city which
would send its visitors away with a
lasting impression of its beauty.
The Future Washington.
In the Washington of the future,
MIR. Tucker hopes to see a more COM
prehensive development of parks and
Fairgrounds. He envisions the con-
nection of Rock Greek Park with
Potomac Park and Potomac Park with
AnacoStia Park. He sees another
chain Of parks connecting the old
Civil War forts in the District. and
many additional parks constructed in
the heart Of the city.
Slum dwellings and unSightly build
ings are not included in Mr.. fuckers
vision of the future Capital. The
water front must be beautifled, he
says, and streets paved and widened
and lined with shade trees.
A subway for the Districts transit
facilities will eventually be included
In the picture, Mr.. Tucker believes,
but not right at the present time.
All citizens Of Washington must
play a part in this future Washington,
he believes.
Its wonderful field" MIR. Tucker
says, "but q city with the stateliest
buildings, the most beautiful parks, or
the best roads still cannot be really
beautiful unless its citizens take a
personal interest in their own proper
ties"

CITIZENS TO SEEK
|. LOWER BUSFARES
Action Seen as Repercus-
sion From New Connec.
ticut Avenue Bus Line.

The precedent set by the Capital
Transit Co. when 1t inaugurated the
Chevy Cllase bus line, long bus line
with street car fare, may have reper-
cussions in other areas.
Up to September IS, when the Chevy
Chase line went into operation, the
fare on all trunk lines was 10 cents
cash or a SIPS weekly pass. Only the
short feeder" lines had token fare.
Now, however, citizens associations
in other areas are asking that the fare
on bus lines in their territory be re-
duced to conform to that of the Chevy
Chase line.
Friendship Action Taken.
The matter of reduced fare on the
American University bus line has al-
ready been taken up by the Friend
ship Citizens Association. At its last
meeting a resolution was passed CALL
ing attention to the difference in fare
and asking that it be corrected. So
far no action has been taken by the
traction company, but Samuel j.
Flickinger, president of that associa-
ton, states that his association will
press the matter until some fare adj
justment is made.
Glover Park Sentiment.
So far the Glover Park Citizens
Association has taken no action in re-
gard to reduced fare for the Glover
Park bus line. Myron r. Walker, pres
ident Of the association, states, how
ever, that there is a general sentiment
in the community favoring lower rates.
Il have no doubt that the matter will
be brought up at the next meeting"
he said.
A resolution was passed last Spring
by the Burroughs Citizens AsSocia-
| ton asking reduced fare for the
Brookland-W Woodbridge line. Another
formal resolution along the same lines
will be introduced at the next meet.
ing, David Babp, president of the as
Sociation, has announced. IF they
can get reduced fare on the Chevy
Chase line, we ought to have it, too,"
he said.

thousand boats, representing an in
vestment of between two and half
million and three million dollars, on
which valuation the owners of these
boats are required to pay an annual
tax of $3.50 per 500 assessed value in
addition to berthage charges.
Two Sections Contrasted.
"The desirability of an improvement
of present conditions along the water
fronts and the widening and deepen
ing of the channels is generally
recognized" Lodge asserted. The
contrast between the drive around the
East Potomac Park Speedway with
the haphazard and tumbledown con-
ditions on the opposite side of the
Washington Channel along Water
street lis so drastic that none would
say Water street could not and should
not be Immediately improved in a
manner befitting the Nations Capital.
The Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations, over a long period OF time,
has given whole hearted support to
a progressive program leading to an
improvement of the waterfronts and
navigable' waters with resultant
greater advantages for pleasure and
business"
So obvious is this need, he contin-
ued, Congress has authorized the
construction, repair and preservation
~ to;, 10 ~
harbors as recommended by the
Board of Engineers for Rivers and
Harbors of the War Department.
There has been no appropriation for
this authorization, however. The
amount of the appropriation is
81 $50 000, Of which the District is to
contribute s389,000. to be used for
the readjustment of such District
agencies as now exist along the
Washington Channel and to provide
for future municipal growth. 1t is
planned to eventually widen Water
street southwest to l60 feet in ac-
cordance with the National Capital
Park ana Planning Commissions
request.
Details of Improvement.
The improvement proposed includes
commercial development Of the pier
and slip system, without rail connec-
tionS, with an area for expansion re-
served in the downstream half Of
the channel.
OF the existing structures along the
waterfront only four are slated to be
retained, namely, the Municipal Fish
Wharves, the Capital Yacht Club. the
Harbor Police Wharf and the Light
house Bureau Wharf. To secure the
desired Identification. provision is
being made for removal Of unsightly
structures and for architectural
treatment of new buildings in har-
mony with the best structures in the
vicinity now standing.
Greater use of the Potomac for
bathing and swimming is also sought.
The federation strongly advocated q
80 per cent publication. However,
when plans were finally completed
and passed by Congress only IS per
cent purif1cation was provided for
Use of the local waters for bathing
under these conditions is unimproved
Greater improvement can not be
hoped for until a higher per cent of
publication Is attained and Maryland
and Virginia are willing to cooperate
with proper sewage disposal facilities.

The most beautiful and imposing
national capital in the world-that
is how Evan H Tucker envisages fu-
ture Washington.
This Is not new dream Of Mr..
fuckers. The elderly civic leader,
who is rounding out his forty-f1rst
term as president of the Northeast
Citizens Association this month,
adopted this work as hobby almost q
half century ago.
Yes, he calls it "just his hobby,
but the 71-year-old leader probably
has devoted more time and energy
to his hobby than the average man
devotes to his life work.
And it is for this very reason that
Mr.. Tucker would be the last per-
son to be convinced that his vision
is nothing more than a dream that
will never be realized. He has been
in this work too long. He has wit
messed and helped to bring about too
many changes in the Nations Capital
to be easily convinced Washington
cannot rise to the top Of the heap.
The Capital of Yesterday.
When he began to pursue his hobby
many years ago, the District had no
Union Station, no District Building,
no public library, no filtration or
sewage disposal plants, Oh swimming
pools, medical and dental inspection
in the schools. Washingtonians had
never heard of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, Zon-
ing Commission or Board Of Public
Welfare. Gas lamps lighted cobble-
stoned streets; grade crossings daily
endangered the lives of citizens. Rivers
and creeks were spanned by homely,
dilapidated bridges.
What progress has been made since
that time? Mr.. Tucker will point to
a few Of the major improvements and
changes: A public library and many
branches, modern schools and hos
pitfalls, q satisfactory street car serv-
ice: wide, paved avenues; ugly spots
turned into beautiful parks, modern
incinerators, stately buildings. Legis-
lation has established modern traffic
regulations, child labor laws, q more
up-to-date system Of local govern
ment; provided for such projects as
the Memorial Bridge, the George
Washington Memorial Parkway, . ma
tional arboretum.
Mr.. Tucker played an important
part In bringing about these changes.

Of success.
Individual Utility Complaints
Overwhelm Peoples Counsel.
INDIVIDUAL complaints and re-
quests received by the peoples
counsel have attained a volume
beyond the power Of that energetic
public official to handle, with the
aid Of his, one and only, efficient
Office assistant. This is one of the
matters which he brought to the
attention of the delegates in his
informal address before the Feder-
alton Of Citizens Associations at
its first meeting of the season.
These complaints and reGxests
are not unlike those received from
the organized groups which repre-
sent the views of number of citi-
zens, but each requires as much
attention as those made by and for
the many. Roberts made an earnest
plea for citizens to act through their
neighborhood associations instead
of taking up such matters as in
dividuals.
In a recent weekly radio talk
Roberts made an earnest plea for
citizens to join the citizens asso-
ciation in their neighborhood. He
gave graphic description. of an
association at work and pictured
new member attending a meet
ing for the first time. Much to the
surprise Of the new member he dis
covered that the civic troubles
which had been bothering him were
matters of common complaint and
that Well-informed committees were
graphing with the problems and
obtaining tangible results. Old
timers In the civic work would be
inclined to award a valuable prize
to the citizen who would bring in a
brand-new problem and subStan-
tiate a claim that "he saw it first"
This radio address was a fine
boost for the citizens associations,
but it is believed that Roberts would
be frank to admit selfish motive
he wants to have the consolidated
complaints, suggestions and re-
quests of the multitude through
their accredited representatives
rather than a multitude of such
communications from individuals.
There is, Of course, no way to make
the people join a citizens associa-
ton, but nevertheless it is an estah-
lished fact that in such union
there is strengthen the in
dividual member, the neighborhocd
and the community.

branch and for site and plans
for a branch in AnacoStia. The
dedication was a most auSpicious
civic event. Due credit was given
for the fine team work which
brought this project safely
through.
The several civic bodies of the
section formed the Georgetown
Library Association under the
Craftsmanship Of Dorsey w. Hyde,
jr., and this organization worked
hand in hand with the library
officials in obtaining appropriation
of the required funds. The site Is
a most admirable one surrounded
by ample grounds. The building
of the American Colonial type IL
we'll placed in the historic George
town.
The site was formerly occupied
by the old stone reservoir. In re-
placing the stone reservoir with .
public library Georgetown Is fol.
lowing a notable example, for
many will remember that the great
New York Public Library, on Fifth
avenue between Forty-frst and
Forty-second streets. stands where
there used to be great stone
reservoir.
During the dedicatory exercises
fitting tribute was paid to Theo-
dore w. Noyes, president of the
Board of Library Trustees, as the
father Of the District Public Lii
brary. Many attendants expressed
regret that absence from the city
prevented Mr.. Noyes' participation
in the exercises.
Besides having q fine library,
Georgetown now has q most at
tractive and convenient place OF
assembly for its civic organiza-
tions. The Peabody Room is to be
available for civic uses and Is also
to be q depository for documents
and articles of historic interest in
Georgetown. Fine cases are pro-
vided for the exhibition and safe
keeping Of these priceless treasures
and 1t Is expected that the proud
citizens Of the ancient city will lose
no time in supplying a worthwhile
collection. In the future the
Georgetown branch will be rich in
