POTOMAC DYKE
OPPOSED BY
PARK HEADS
Settle Says Present
Protection Enough
to Hold Floods

Members of the National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commits
sion are opposed to the construc-
tion of a new dyke to stem the flow
of future flood waters of the Po-
tomac River, it was learned today
as the group met for the second
day of their monthly session.
Although the commission has
not yet taken official action, men,
bers have informally expressed
themselves as against the new
levee on the grounds that it will
entail an unnecessary expense,
and will provide no greater pro-
lection. The proposed dyke, along
Independence Avenue, would re-
quire the removal of q large row
of beautiful elm trees.
Protection Ample
Thomas Settle, secretary of the
commission, pointed out that the
present dyke system running
along the northern section of the
Monument grounds was ample pro-
lection against the floods of last
spring, and would have been Suffi-
cient even if the water had risen
five feet over the flood high mark.
Construction of a new dyke
would mean the raising Of the
roadbed of the independence Ave-
nue. line to 10 feet above the high
water mark, and at least one under
pass would have to be built.
Park Retained
Members of the commission
voted to retain the Judiciary
Square as a park area; the restudy
of the layout of Commodore Bar
ney Circle in harmony with the
plans for the construction of the
new Pennsylvania Avenue span;
favoring the improvement of the
Lee Boulevard around the north
end of Fort Myer and favoring the
construction of an additional span
to the Key Bridge to connect with
the Lee Highway.

CLAIM
RULING IS
WEDGE
Citizens Charge Move
Will Lead to 100
Per Cent Change

Recent approval of the Capital
Transit Company's application to
extend its one-man car system Is
not to be construed as giving sane
ton to an unlimited enlargement
of the system, members of the
Public Utilities Commission today
declared.
Targets of criticism from civic,
labor and business organizations
since they approved the petition
Of the company by which 20 more
one-man cars will be added to the
company lines, both Chairman
Riley E. Elgen and Vice Chairman
Richmond B. Keech declared that
the commission action was not to
be taken as wedge toward a
further enlargement of the one
man car system.
They made it plain that their
action in the recent hearing was
based solely upon the petition
presented by the company and
stated the commissions policy
will be to handle all similar cases
in the future on petitions as
they are presented. Critics of
the commission have contended
that the recent order allowing the
20 additional one-man cars was
a wedge by which the company
might one day realize plans for
100 per cent one-man car opera.
tionS,
Protesting approval of extending
the one-man street car system,
William NICK. Clayton, chairman
Of the Federation of Citizens AS
sociations utilities committee, has
urged that fares in such cars be
lower than on the two-man We
hicles.
Mr.. Clayton declared he will
call a meeting Of his committee
and report to the federation before
taking a course of action.
Meanwhile, Peoples Counsel
William A. Roberts, now i'll at
Georgetown University Hospital,
indicated he will appeal to the
courts against the commissions
recent order allowing 20 additional
one-man cars on the company's
lines.
Mr.. Clayton argued that SER
vice on the one-man cars is slower
and that a lower fare would not
constitute discrimination under
the law.
