FEDERATION HITS
|. SIXTH ST. CLOSING
Urges Plans for ArchWay or
Underpass at Proposed
Museum.

Revision of plans for the monu-
mental art gallery to be provided by
Andrew w. Mellon, so it will not
necessitate the closing of Sixth street
through the Mall, is urged by the
Federation of Citizens Associations in
q letter sent today to the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion.
The commission was asked to give
study to the practicability of con-
structing an archway over the street,
or carrying the street under the build
ing, as an underpass, or some other
arrangement.
The move is in keeping with action
taken by the federation Saturday
night, when it Endorsed a resolution
Of the Executive Committee of the
Southwest Citizens Association, Of
fered by Harry S. Wender.
Sixth street was described as the
only arterial highway not having
street car tracks which extends all
the way from the water front to Flor
ida avenue. 1t is badly needed to
meet heavy traffic demands, according
to the resolution.
I'VE feel that it would be a tre-
mendous mistake to cut off Sixth
street, especially in view of the fact
that it is architecturally and artisti-
cally possible to continue the street
through the Mall without interfering
with the proposed plan in principle" I"
the resolution added.
The action also voiced high praise
for the proffered Mellon gift, which
was termed magnificent and precious
contribution to the Capital develop
ment.

laws shall be introduced in the Legis-
lature this year. The most important
one to our mind, one which crops
up every year, but which seems to
get sidetracked before 1t acan be
acted upon, Is prohibition Of the
sale Of black bass. There are eight
States in the United States which
still permit black bass sales and, sad
to relate, Maryland is one Of them.
Everybody seems to be behind this
bill. Sportsmen. sportsmen's organiza-
tions, State officials and officials Of
the Conservation Commission all come
out in favor of such a measure, yet
its funny thing it never has passed.
The result Is that bass are netted
in streams and rivers stocked by
virtue of the license fee paid by
sportsmen, and its only few strag-
glers that are left behind for us
when we get out there with our plugs
and bass bugs.
Black bass also are bootlegged
in from the neighboring States
Of Virginia and Pennsylvania,
which prohibit their sale, to
the detriment Of angling in
those States.
Another thing which has the back
ing Of this department Is more and
stringent regulations against netting.
The old purse net which swept up
and down the bay is no more. For
that we all can be thankful. There
was danger there for awhile that it
would sweep the bay clean of fish.
The trouble Is that commercial men
don't realize that they're cutting
their own throat when they use such
methods. We want plenty Of fish
for sport; they need plenty Of fish
to make q living.
