Stream Improvement
Seen as First Step in
Alexandra Park Plan

Approval by the Alexandria City
Council last week of the develop
ment of Taylor's Run and Timber
Branch is seen as the first step in
the development of the city park
areas. These projects were recon-
mended by the National Recreation
Association in its 1943 survey and
by the Planning Commission In its
master plan for the development OF
the northwest section of the city.
The council appropriated the sum
Of $l,860 to cover the cost of topo-
graphical surveys of the areas, In
volved and also approved the rec
ommendation that the two proposed
parkways along the streams be des-
ignated as future streets.
Property owners of land adjacent
to both proposed parkways have>e >ex-
| pressed WILLINGNESS to donate stifi-
cient right of way to the city before
the tracts are subdivided.
The proposed Taylors Run park
way would be 1000 feet in length
and would continue up the run,
cross Janney's lane and connect with
King street road near Chinquapin
Village. Timberbranch would be
approximately $500 feet in length
and would begin at the present end
Of Junior street and continue to
Braddock road.
II the Planning Commissions zon-
ing report, presented to the City
Council early in 1914. is approved
the new parkways will, for the most
part, run along property the A.
restricted zone, new residential
classific alton designed to create lots
Of from 5000 to 5000 square feet
with a minimum lot frontage OF
from 65 to 80 feet.
The city's only park area. Burgess
Park, OF Of Duke street, would con-
meet directly with the parkway sys-
tenn, and it is hoped that an area
at the end of Junior street will be
developed as park at some future
date. The development Of the pro-
posed parkways would also permit
the enlargement Of Burgess Park.

the National Association of Real
Estate Boards.
Alexander Sumner, chairman Of
the organizations Rent Control
Committee, said many properties
are standing idle because their
owners do not care to rent them
at financial loss. ="
I'VE do not believe that COM
munity should have to become .
veritable ghost town before rent
controls are lifted" he said. I'm
many communities where supply In
almost adequate to the demand, the
lifting of controls in itself would
make more rental properties avail
able and create the proper balance
for competitive rentals -
Mr.. Sumner said there are about
95, 1000 persons living in rent
controlled areas and that the OPA
has estimated that only per cent
OF these people are in areas from

PARK Board 70 Seek! K
Three Zone Chances

Rezoning of more than 200 acres
of land in Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties now zoned
for single-family residential use,
will be asked by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. The tracts had
been zoned for apartments during
the war emergency.
Fred w. Tuennler, director of
planning, said last night that two
of the petitions initiated by the
commission effect the Mccormick
Goodheart tract which contains So
acres of land in Prince Georges
County and II in Montgomery,
fronting on the west side of New
Hampshire avenue and the north
side of University lane.
The third petition involves so
acres of land in Prince Georges
County on the south side of Uni
versity lane, west Of New Hampshire
avenue.
The Mccormick Goodheart tract,
Mr.. Tuennler said, was zoned for
apartment house use about three
after Pearl Harbor at the
request Of the Defense Homes
Corp, which planned to provide
war emergency housing for some
$500 workers.
Commission action favoring the
rezoning at that time was due
primarily to the war Unexplained,
despite the commission planning
staff which opposed the rezoning
because the area was too far re-
moved from an urban center and
transportation to schools and other
facilities was lacking.
Although plans were prepared
the development of the tract by the
Defense Home Corp, never took
place because of the WPB refusal
to permit construction of apart
ment buildings due to the unavail-
ability of materials, including water
and sewage, and lack of public
facilities.

Seeks to Simplify
Election Machinery

s. A 1o-point program for improve
ment of Virginia election procedure,
including repeal of the poll tax, has
been presented to the State Suffrage
Commission by the Fairfax County
Voters League.
In urging abolition of the poll tax
as a prerequisite for voting, the
league declared that the tax is an
important" factor in limiting the
actual number of voters to a very
small percentage Qess than Is per
cent? of adult citizens"
Other proposals include:
| /. The use of an official form for
the registration of voters. After the
form has been filled out, the reg
istrar should not be permitted to,
ask any additional questions or to
disqualify the prospective voter for
failure to answer such questions.
More Pay for Registrars.
2.An increase in salary for reg
istrars and election board members.
The present pay of such officials is
insufficient to insure their proper
carrying out of present duties or to
justify increasing their responsible
ties"
8. The general registrar in rural
counties shall be required to make
annual visits to various sections of
the county for registration purposes.
4. The electoral board in each
community shall be required to keep
10 oie hoaiyc +Nt

Der voting in each precinct. This
report shall be filed in the Office of
the clerk of the court as public
record.
! Definite Voting Hours.
6. Provision should be made to
establish definite hours for regis
tering and voting, to replace the
present from sunrise to sunset"
The present regulation, the league
asserted, causes confusion among
voters and election officials.
] 7. One alphabetical list of quail
fed voters, bearing the names of
both white and colored persons.
should be provided for use at the
polls. The league described the sep
arate lists now in use as "inaccu-
gate" causig delays in the election
procedure.
! 8. Voting machines should be used,
where feasible, to minimize the pos
sibility of fraudulent elections.
9. An easy economical and
prompt procedure for a recount of
votes should be set up.
