Commission Bringing
Plans Up 10 DATE for
Development Of D. {.

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission was ready to-
day to tackle its toughest major as
signment during the next year il
preparing for publication long
neglected revision of the "compre-
hensive plan" for the orderly devel-
opment of Washington.
Maj. Gen. u. S. Grant III, chair
man, in announcing beginning OF
the study, conceded the commission
would "be pushed" to complete the
revision within the allotted time
Some of the other cities which have
prepared master plans have re-
quired two or three years.
The planners have a backlog OF
Is years which must be revised and
brought up to date. The first COM
prehensive plan was drawn up in
1928, but since 1882, it was explained
the commission has been unable to
publish any of its annual reports
carrying plans for the development
Of the city.
Instead of sos, 900, as requested
Congress appropriated only $75,00o
for the use of the planners in pre-
pairing the ground work for carry
ing out the $20,000,00O authoriza-
tions under the Urban Redevelop-
ment Act of 1916. Before any of the
projects can be started the act re-
quires publication of the master
plan.
The commission is going to try to
shift funds so it can use all or nearly
all of the $45,000 it estimated as the
cost of publishing the plan. Reduc-
tions must be made in the original
$4,000 estimate for survey of the
lowest income groups and $35, 900 for
a survey of slum clearance.
Many plans already have been ap-
proved and are in preparation, and
it will be necessary to tie these In
with the redevelopment program
For example, it was pointed out, the
East Capitol street project fits into
the comprehensive plan. That calls
for extending East Capitol street as
a sort of new mall with future Fed
eral buildings on each side as on
Constitution avenue NV.
Meeting Closed.
Chicago, Philadelphia, Richmond
st. Louis and Dallas are some OF the
cities that have completed or are
row engaged in the work of drawing
up similar plans for orderliness in
city building.
The planning commission brought
its midsummer session to a close
late yesterday and voted to meet
next on Septmber 1920.
Before 1t adjourned, the group
heard a progress report on joint
studies being made on the proposed
use of Barrier Island in Kingman
Lake as a landing strip for private
airplanes. The commission never
has been enthusiastic over this idea
The studies are under supervision
of the Civil Aeronautics Authority
the District (Army) Engineer Office
and the commission. Originally it
was estimated it would require about
100000 square yards of filling to
make a strip of sufficient length on
Barrier Island which separates
Kingman Lake from the Anacostia
River. Now the District Engineer
figures it would require more than
/ 200, 900 square yards of additional
earth. Oficials said that is only
single item in the cost of preparing
an airstrip and pointed it out to
stress the expense.
