tanned new parkway or a public

grumbling in Maryland won't relieve
the summer traffic situation on the
Defense highway. There always have
been, and perhaps always will be,
relatively few citizens who spend
much of their lives working actively
for public projects with little thought
of any personal benefit. We can't
expect that from everybody.
But we can try to inspire in every
citizen a deep conviction that a gen.
eral area program and detailed COM
munity planning mean definite bene-
fits to himself and his family, and
progress in this Maryland area that is
worth some expenditure of time and
money on his part"
Years of growth lie ahead for WASH
ington and the metropolitan area. Are
we ready for it-or will it catch us
unprepared?

Planned Suburbs

Unless there is careful
planning for the future,
WashingtOn's and Balti-
'more's fast-growing suburbs
will be spreading them
selves willy-nilly over the
countryside in the next
few years. The result, ac-
cording to a report of the
Maryland State Planning
Commission, will be a
hodgepodge, ugly growth,
unattractive and wasteful
of resources in land, beauty
and recreational facilities.
The two maps appearing
on this page present an idea
of the contrast between
planned and unplanned
development.
The map which appears
to the left is the Maryland
commissions conception of
the development of Mary
land suburban areas as they
will appear about the year
1850, provided this develop
ment is carefully planned
and regulated in advance.
The lower map indicates
the hodgepOdge develop
ment by 1850 without
planning.
The problem is cOmpli-
Gated, so far as the District
of Columbia is concerned,
by the fact that the Dis
trict's own boundaries are
fixed by the Constitution
and cannot be expanded to
take in the suburbs over
which Maryland possesses
individual jurisdiction.

interesting article by Mr..
Shepard for a discussion Of
this condition.

Mr.. Hull has convinced the British OF
his sincerity as an exponent of peace

the United States.
AuStralia's financial position has
improved so much during the past two
years that abolition of the licensing
restrictions, which were held discrimi-
natory to the United States, might be
obtained Whereas Australia between
1880 and 1885 had an average annual
unfavorable trade balance with the

SOME LOTS BOUGHT
IN NEW CEMETERY
First Section of Annex To
Be Completed Has Been
Staked Off

Several lots have already been
bought in the new Elmwood cemetery
annex, and some scores of plats are
available from which selections may
he made by the general public.
Development of the annex has now
reached what is cor sidered it's first
stage, in that the first part of the
area has been seeded to grass, shrubs
and flowers have been planted and
the lots have been staked off. This
section is one the slight knoll adjoin-
ing the old cemetery and sloping
gently toward the west and down to-
ward one of the main driveways
which will thread the cemetery land
Scape.
Stone walls have been built into the
development, as well as roads. Gutter
work on each side of the roads has
virtually been completed, and as soon
as the weather permits, rock ma
cadam pavement will be laid through
out.
In addition to the development of
the annex, which consists of some
twenty acres, bought by the city two
years ago when it took over the en-
tire cemetery, except a shit reser-
walton kept by the former owners, the
old part has been cleared of most of
the debris, the driveways have been
repaired and made more passable,
and the city has made preparations
to maintain lots for owners in the old
as well as the new parts.
Prices asked for lots in the new an
mex include perpetual maintenance by
the city. Strict regulations have been
drawn by the city for the conduct
of the annex, limiting the number of
graves to a lot, fixing the depth of
graves and forhidding planting of
shrubbery of any kind on private lots,
or the placing of stone or other types
of border around private tracts.
