WATERFRONTPLAN
ASKS S2,1OQ,0DO.
Work Relief Allotment to Be
Sought by Board Of
Trade Action.

A S2,100,00o program for improve
ment of Washington's water front has
been drafted by the Rivers and Har-
bors Committee of the Washington
Board of Trade.
The committee, it was decided yes
terday, will press for immediate allot-
ment of Federal works relief money to:
/. Construct four yacht basins, ac-
commodating about 265 yachts; three
commercial piers. two District gov
eminent piers and bulkheads or the
north side of Washington Channel.
Estimated cost, Sl,650,000.
2. Widen the Potomac and Ana
costa River channels from 200 to 400
feet and deepen them from 20 to "a
feet. Estimated cost, S325, 900.
g. Remove the mud bank in the
Georgetown channel from Hams Point
to the Highway Bridge. Estimated
cost, Sl25,OOO.
4. Construct turning basins at the
Navy Yard and at Fifteenth street
southeast.
John A. Remon, general manager of
the Chesapeake g. Potomac Telephone
Co., told the committee meeting yes
terday he believed the necessary money
could be obtained. No objections to
the projects have been offered and
they have the Endorsement of gov
ornamental and private groups, he said.
The proposed commercial piers and
the channel-dredging program already
are listed among possible emergency
relief projects, and Mr.. Remon believes
funds can be secured from Works
Progress Administration moneys.
An omnibus rivers and harbors bill
passed by the last Congress authorizes
the Federal Government to support
the channel-dredging operations and
pay for all but S389.000 of the pier,
yacht basin and bulkhead construc-
ton.
The Board of Trade will seek to
interest the National Capital Parks in
undertaking the removal of the mud
bank off East Potomac Park Army
engineers believe this operation will
cost SIPS 900.
Mr.. Remon suggested that the silt
be transferred to Gravelly Point if
that site is selected for a municipal
airport.
The committee authorized a survey
to determine port development pos
sibilities.
One of the proposed District govern
ment piers would be for the loading of
materials for Occoquan and the other
for the harbor master The east branch
opposite the Navy Yard is not wide
enough to permit war vessels with a
draught Of "a feet or more to make
turns, and a turning basin is needed
there, Mr.. Remon said. Another, for
large commercial vessels, is needed at
the Fifteenth street site
The committee also will work for
the construction of Naval Reserve
Armory at the Navy Yard This pro-
posal has the Endorsement of Admiral
Joseph De Frees, commandant of
the Navy Yard.
Construction of a canal between
the Potomac and Patuxent Rivers
was considered by the committee yes
terday, but deemed to be not feasible.
The group voted to work for improve
ment Of the water front in the George
town area near Key Bridge as well as
for development of the Washington
Channel. 1t also agreed to make a
survey of the Buzzards Point area in
view of possible commercial expansion.

HOUSING DECISION
ACCEPTED BY j. 5.
Will Not Appeal Let's RuI.
ing in Condemnation
Cases.

The Justice Department, it was
said today. will not appeal from the
decision of Justice F. Dickinson Let's
in District Supreme Court, sustaining
the demurrers filed against P. w. A.
condemnation proceedings to obtain a
site for a low-cost housing project
in Southwest Washington.
While the decision serves to re-
strain future Stun development in
Washington, where property cannot
be obtained except through condem-
nation, officials said it would have no
effect CT the national program of the
housing division. Even if the de-
cision OF Justic Let's was reversed or
an appeal. the lack of funds at this
time would prevent P. w. A. officials
from undertaking any further slum
clearance projects in Washington.
The project designed for colored
residents on Benning road northeast,
where title has been obtained for the
land, will be pushed forward. how
ever, under an available $1,000 900
fund.
Secretary Ickes received a similar
reverse at the hands of a Cincinnati
court, which held some time ago that
the Government could not condemn
land for housing projects that were
not devoted to strictly public use
The A projects for low-cost housing
under the national program will not
be retarded by either of these two
decisions, officials said, because con-
domination proceedings are not in
volved in them. The site acquired in
Anacostia, which is being held for
future use, is not affected by the
local court decision
UNFOLDING Of the Let's or Cincinnati
decisions would have no direct bearing
on the housing program as now pro-
vided for and for this reason the Gov
eminent, it was said, will not resort
to an appeal.
