Park and Oil Company
Land Swapping Plan

A bit of swapping between the
American Oil Co. and the National
Park and Planning Commission
is being planned in connection
with the proposed purchase by the
oil company of some property at
Pennsylvania avenue and M street
NV.
The oil company wants to buy
the Boys Club of Washington
property at that site for gasoline
station purposes.
The planning commission, how
ever, wants the tip of the tract
toward Twenty-eighth street as
park site.
The plan approved during ses-
sion of the Board of zoning Ad-
justment yesterday is this:
The planning commission will
try to get an act of Congress, en-
abling it to give the Oil company
a piece of land on the Rock Greek
Park side. The oil firm will buy
the boys club tract and then dedi-
cate the tip to the commission.
