A comprehensive program for de-
velopment of the Potomac River
waterfront in the Washington and
Alexandria area, estimated to cost
$2.06l 900, is ready for the start of
construction this fall, the War De-
partment announced today.

trict engineer, said the program Is
revival Of the old five-year de-
velopment authorized by Congress
for the Washington waterfront that
was interrupted in its second year
by the war, The $2,061 900 involved
now, he said, covers expenditures
authorized for the first of the post
war years. In two more years the
entire program will have been COM
pleted.
The local project was revealed
in connection with the announce
ment that the Civil Works Di-
vision OF the Army Engineers are
ready to start work this fall on
rivers and harbors and flood con-
troll projects of an estimated cost
OF 5000, SIS 500. BY late spring (1946)

dltional projects throughout the

mated to cost 93,954,965.

Deficiency estimates are in the
hands of the Budget Bureau, it
was announced. and will be sub
mitted to. Congress soon.
Col. johnson said the projects

fused with plans for waterfront de-
velopments now under consideration

Planning Commission. A report is
being prepared by that agency

provements. many of which no
doubt will be included to bring the
general program up to date.

neers to make Nationwide study

Washington waterfront. Col. john
son had called upon the Planning
Commission to cooperate in this
study, which it is doing.
All the late improvements on the
Washington Channel front were
built under authorization of the
original five-year program now
being revived.
COL johnson said that the forth
coming construction includes water
front improvements in the War COL
lege area.

new piers for Potomac River boats.
IN both the Washington Channel
and the Anacostia River. Similar
work is to be done on the Alexan-
drla front. Provisions also are to
be made for a yacht basin.
Both the Potomac and Anacos-
Tia channels have sufficient depth.
1t was said, but some dredging will
be necessary to enable larger craft
to berth at wharveS.
The Planning Commission is in
corporating in its report to the
United States Engineer Office, plans
Tor the new bridge over the Ana
costa River and a Potomac River
span connecting Alexandria with
