Land Offers May Fix
Flood Control Costs
In B|adensburq Area

A plan for navigational facilities
in the Anacostia River and food
control in the Bladensburg area
may not require expenditure of
$3,396,100 by the localities involved,
it was learned today.
The proposal was announced yes
terday as approved by the North
Atlantic Division of the Army Engi-
neers. Beside providing navigable
channel 80 feet wide and feet
ieep and commercial and recrea-
tional boat basins, the program also
sets up a system of levees or dykes,
in the frequently flooded Bladens-
burg area.
That town. as we'll as Edmonston,
Riverdale, Hyattsville, Brentwood,
Cottage City and Colmar Manor,
would be affected.
S4,531, 200 U. S. Outlay.
Immediate question to arise fol-
lowing yesterdays announcement
was the cost to the communities and
Prince Georges County. The Army
Engineers said Congress would have
to appropriate an estimated s4,531,-
200, with contributions by the
localities totaling $3,369,l00, the
latter sum including about s494, ,49O
from the Public Roads Administra-
ton.
T. Howard Duckett, former men,
Der of the Maryland-National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission
and now counsel to the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission, de-
clared that certain understandings
as to the cost of the project were
arrived at during previous studies
of the plan between various Federal
State and local agencies.
In arriving at the $4,000, 900 figure
Mr.. Duckett said, the War Depart.
ment allowed for the cost of LAND
which the localities would donate tc
the project. The Maryland Genera.
Assembly, he said, had placed re.
sponsibility of meeting the flooc
control problem with the Suburban
Sanitary Commission although the
Park and Planning Commission
owns the land.
Much of Land Acquired.
Mr.. Duckett said the planning
agency has acquired practically
all" of the land on both sides of the
Anacostia River upstream from the
District line and on both sides
of the northwest and northeast
branches of the main stream.
officials at the Office of the Dis
trict engineer, First and Douglas
streets NV, declined to say to
what extent the properties now
owned by the county or State agen-
cies would be figured in the sum
set up for the cost to the localities
They said the plans are available
there and interested agencies ano
persons concerned may inspect
them.
Frank P. Shor, in the flood con-
troll section of the District engineer
Office said, however, it would be
safe assumption that allowance
would be made for lands contrib
uted to the Government for the
project.
Comment from official sources
who declined use of their names
was to the effect that the full

took no action.
Representative Sasscer, Democrat
of Maryland said the next step will
be for the proper agencies con.
