Commissioners Call
For Bids on New
Central Library
Uncertainty Is Ended
As Tox Reports Show
Increased Receipts

Approving drawings and speci-
fications for the projected first unit
of the new Central Library Build
ing, to be erected in the Municipal
Center area, the Commissioners to-
day ordered advertisement for bids
from contractors, ending uncer-
tainty as to whether construction
of the building might have to be
delayed for a year.
Late in March, when the Board
of Education made urgent pleas for
construction of schools for children
of defense workers who had flooded
into the District. the city heads ad-
vised Congress of the special need
for additional funds to cover these
and other necessary municipal &C
tivities.
They suggested four methods of
raising needed extra funds: Adop-
ton of the Overton formula for fix
ing the Federal payment toward
District expenses; participation by
the District in funds which may be
provided by Congress to meet needs
resulting from the national defense
program: postponement of repay
ments by the District under the
P. w. A. loans. and postponement
for a year of starting construction
of the library building.
Yesterday when tabulations were
completed of the March and April
tax receipts of the District it was
found that for the first 10 months
of this year receipts had exceeded
those for the same period of the last
fiscal year by nearly $4,000, 900. Ap-
parently this showing of unexpect-
edly good District tax payments per-
suaceo the Commissioners that they
could with safety proceed with con-
struction of the library building
under authority and appropriations
already granted by Congress.
The building will be erected along
Pennsylvania avenue NV, between
John Marshall place and Sixth
street The first unit will be built
on a portion of the site between the
Ford Building and the old Nationa
Hotel, which has been headquarters
for the District National Guard.
The building, designed by the Of
flee of Nathan C. Wyeth, municipa,
architect, will be of five stories with
limestone front.
The cost Of unit is estimated at
100000. A period of four weeks
will be allowed after legal notice for
receipt of contractors bids. The
building is to be constructed in 48O
calendar days.
Plans for the building were ap-
proved today on recommendation by
Maj. Beverly C. Snow, assistant en-.
gineer commissioner and director O.

of traflc moving about within the
park.
Examples of inadequate bridges
in the park, Capt. Whitehurst said,
are those on Tilden street near
Pierce Mill and on Klingle road
near the Zoo. He said these spans
are only 10 feet wide and have q
load limit of 10000 pounds. Despite
this low capacity, he continued,
vehicles weighing as much as
10000 pounds are permitted on Dis
trict streets and frequently make
use Of park roads.
Wouldn't it be terrible thing
If a bus-load of children crashed
through one Of those bridges?" he
asked.
Would Satisfy Demands.
Capt. Whitehurst said a study OF
traffic on park roads had revealed
that only 10 per cent of the vehicles
entering Rock Greek turned off the
principal routes while still in the
park area. This knowledge, he said,
led those making the study to the
conclusion that since the vast ma
jority of drivers use the roads in
the park as . means of travelling
on the north-south axis, flrst-rate
thoroughfares or possibly free
ways ought to be provided for their
convenience.
THE first thing to consider in
making = trafnc survey" he said,
lis demand. Roads should be built
or improved to accommodate these
demands.
In the files of the Park and Plan
ming Commission is a 10syear- old
plan to solve the Rock Creek Park
trafic problem by building three
high-level bridges across the entire
width Of the park at strategic points.
This scheme would bridge the
park at these three places: l, be-
tween Tilden and Upshur streets;
2, from q point between Military
road and Utah avenue across to
Kennedy street at Sixteenth, and 8,
from Oregon avenue near Wise road
across to aspen street at Sixteenth.

100 Additional Cases

Washington's measles epidemic is

Health Department officials said to-
day. So far this year, 2,844 cases

The Rock Creek Park land, he

Sees Viewpoint.
Capt. Whitehurst said he did not
know what the Institutions attitude
toward road improvements would be,
but that he knew from past ex-
perience that q strong feeling per-
sists among park service officials
that park land should be used only
for parks; that is, for scenic and
recreational purposes.
"I don't blame them in the least for
looking at it in that light" the high
way director said, especially when
you consider that the land originally
was set aside for park purposes
alone. have become convinced in
recent years, nevertheless, that the
increased demand for highway facil-
tiles makes it imperative that Ger
tain park roads be expanded and
improved to f1t into the general
highway picture"
OF the total $3.50 900 expendi-
trre recommended for development
Of park roads in the preliminary
highway report, $3,750,000 was ear
marked for immediate" improve
ments in Rock Creek Park and the
Zoo.
Cites Narrow Roads.
Capt. Whitehurst said he be-
lieves that traff1c congestion in the
park results from narrow roads, In
most cases there being only two
traff1c lanes, and inadequate bridges.
A prime remedy, he said, would be
the extension of Rock Greek
and Potomac parkway northward
through the Zoo.
He also recommends building q
new road along the western border
Of the park north OF the Zoo, con-
Meeting with Oregon avenue and
