2 TOURS WILL
BOOST FESTIVAL

Two booster tours through Red
wood and adjoining counties to
advertise the June festival were
planned at a meeting of the Civic
and Commerce association Tues
day morning. The trips will be
made about June Is and 16, to
stimulate interest in the festival
June % and "a when Jay Gould's
full company of circus acts, vau-
deville, a revue and many rides
and sideShowS will be presented
on the streets of Redwood Falls.
Last years booster tour was
made in a day but it was consid-
cred wise to make two day trip
which would take in more towns
and make possible a somewhat
longer program in each.

but it was believed that further study
may develop something that would
merit a trial. There are precedents,
indeed, that come rather close to the
situation.
Delicate Machinery.
1t may be possible to work out a
plan that could be enacted by the
General Assembly without any change
in the constitution of the State In
any event." it was suggested, great
care must be exercised to make all
such tax advantages uniform within
any district, and to prevent the re-
strictions from being used to give
undue advantages to individual own
ers. It is admittedly delicate piece
of machinery to place in the hands of
public officials"
Necessary for the success of any
planned program. the commission
emphasizes, is citizen support. That is
regarded as of primary importance.
It concludes: mo one has yet OBJ

operation, under an approved budget
program for some years in advance,
are inadequate and badly needed.
A major question needing State
legislative action is authority Cor
establishing tax procedures, "futuriza-
ton of taxes" for open space and fine
old buildings that are worthy of
preservation, and similar public pur-
poses, by community and county gov
ernments.
The general idea is that as tax as
sessments tend to 60 up under the
urge of outward pushing suburbs, a
district consisting of the proposed open
space would be set up Owners within
the district would receive special tax
concessions. applicable so long as the
property within the district is con-
tinued in the existing type of use or
in any use contemplated by the con-
troll provisions.
1t is realized, says the report, that
there are many difficulties in arriving
at a satisfactory plan of this character,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1937-11-28

could most satisfactorily work out their
common interests, problems and re-
sponsibilities
The Map of the Future as presented
in the Maryland report is illustrative
of the changed conditions that would
be brought about in this 'no-mans"
land between the Washington and
Baltimore metropolitan districts
Rather than the haphazard finger"
developments by which suburbanites
eventually lose what they first sought
country life and privacy-the plan
ners visualize a series of well-planned
communities throughout the area. The
model of such communities already
lies within the area, the report says,
Greenbelt near Beltsville.
Piedmont Section Growing.
Where the 40 added square miles Of
suburbs will be located is matter of
present trends, the attractiveness of
competing suburban areas, and the
protection given to preservation of
open space and the amenities of subur-
ban living. 1t appears from the re-
port that in general the Piedmont sec
ton around Washington dhe area in
GLIDING Chevy Chase, Rockville, Be-
thesda, Silver Spring. will continue to
grow as district of estates, suburban
farms and relatively prosperous homes
In the Costal Plain section around
washington, including Berwyn, Blad-
ensburg and Capital Heights. it is ex-
pected to grow as district Of smaller
homes and market gardens.
In the radial or finger" suburban
growth lies the most difficult problem.
And these are spreading with reckless
abandon along the Washington-Fred-
erick road and the Washington Balti-
more boulevard
To provide necessary open spaces
such as 'greenbelts," strip parks"
public forests and similar land usage,
there are at least five possible methods
which are available to public agencies
for this purpose: Outright purchase,
purchase of rights in land, coming, sub
division control, and finally tax as
sessment policy.
In any consideration of the problem,
the report declares, it is necessary for
the Coordinating Committee to secure
necessary enabling legislation for its
proper functioning and prepare a
definite fiscal program over a period
of years.
The report goes extensively into the
subject of legal methods whereby the
Coordinating Committee and various
local agencies can maintain the neces-
sary control over the land. Foreign
cities, notably London, Copenhagen,
Stockholm, having less open space
than in this country, attack the
problem more directly. With the aid
of central governments, they simply
say in legal terms, There shall be no
building operation in this area"
Public Purchases Cited.
Public purchases within the Balti-
more Washington Annapolis area could
be made without much trouble and at
comparatively low prices, the report
indicates, but not so in the case of the
few remaining available miles of water
front property.
State park purchase powers in
Maryland are adequate. Sufficient
appropriations for park purchase and
