Krogman Here On
Landscape Project

H rman Krogman, Mon
tana's well.known | a n d S cape
architect who is now associated
with the state nursery in Helena,
visited Browning during the week
to inspect t h e plot of ground
surrounding the Glacier County
Electric Coop building which is
soon to be Handicapped under his
direction. While here he called on
the Colds W no are long time
friends of his and was promptly
taken over to the proposed new
high school location and the new
ag building.
Mr.. krogman visualizes a mag
nifcent setting for Browning's
school buildings, and has agreed
to work out a complete plan of
the whole site, from the athletic
field on the east clear through
block 36 on the west. While this
includes more lots h a n the
school board is at present con-
templating on acquiring. Mr..
Krogman seems to have no doubt
it will all eventually become
school property.
He states that his company is
particularly interested in beauti-
flying public building S ties in
Montana and a great deal of the
work which he does is without
cost to the public.

Christmas Decorations
Are you the superstitious type
who believes Christmas decora-
tions must be taken down before
the New Year? They do begin to
look bedraggled the day after
Christmas-the holly is wilted

their needles. The wealth Of mar
ciSsi blooming now makes a won
derful replacement for yuletide
decorations. If l were a philoso-
pher, I'm sure I could draw some
kind of analogy between their
crisp whiteness and fragrance and
the start of a brand new year

Regional Participation

The comprehensive plan for the
Washington metropolitan area is
a single unit, recognizing that the
urban community shares problems
throughout the region. But the
metropolitan area itself Is many
units, when it comes to carrying
the plan into effect. In such mat
ters as zoning, or regulation of new
subdivisions, or local public serv-
ices such as schools and play
grounds. authority for action is
divided. Inside the District of
Columbia. the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
has an official relationship with
the District Government.
In the suburban areas beyond,
there are several Independent
planning agencies, each with its
own field of authority. The re-
gion is fortunate in that the sub
urban territ6ry in Maryland has
been united for planning pur-
poses by farsighted official action

Washington: Present and Future

now flve planning agencies, the
advantages of coordinate plan
ming have been recognized in the
recent establishment of the North
ern Virginia Regional Planning
Commission. Power to regulate
private development, or to con-
troll public development, is in the
hands Of these planning agencies
and Of separate county. city. and
State governments.
Advisory Comprehensive Plan.
In Maryland and Virginia the
comprehensive plan is advisory
only. But If 1t contains good ad-
vice-if it is a good plant will
have the strength to be effective.
All the parts of the metropoli-
tan unit gain from benefits to the
whole. If this field of mutual in
terest is realized, the machinery
can be worked out for co-opera-
tive action toward the goals of
the plan.
A first step toward the aim of
unified action is creation of a
formal association of all planning
agencies in the region. Because
the political independence of the
two States and the District rule
out q single official planning
agency for the whole territory
such a regional planning council
is recommended as the most effec-
tive method for jointly consider
ing metropolitan problems. set
ting policies, and proposing So
lutions.
Past informal committee sessions
pave the way for this, with a
background of cordial co-opera-
ton already established. Such
a council has many reasons for
being, quite apart from the pro-
posal to give Maryland and Vir-
ginia direct representation on the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. wisely included
in the pending bill for reorgani-
zation Of that Commission.
In preparing the comprehensive
plan, the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission has

needs Of the suburban AREAS. 1t
has. nevertheless, made its recon-
mendations for the territory be-
yond the District boundary in
general sketch form only. It is
of the greatest Importance that
this outline plan be acceptable
to and accepted by the independ-
ent sections that it covers, and
then designed in further detail
as the base for action.
Advantages Are Obvious.
Advantages are obvious Of more
or less uniform regulations for
development and correlated zon-
ing throughout the region, and
of dovetailed plans and programs
for public-work construction
under an overall guiding frame
work. Equally clear are advan-
tages of continued local self-con-
troll and independence. Farsight-
ed vision can gain from the first,
without sacrificing the second.
New governmental forms may
prove desirable, as city develop
lnent spreads still farther. Econ-
omy and efficiency of such public
services as water supply. sewage
disposal and transportation may
suggest a kind of coordination
greater than can be accomplished
through cooperative steps. Such
developments, if they prove nee
essary, can best come through the
experience of the joint planning
body that is proposed. In any
case. the best development of the
region requires full participation
from every part, which will be ever
more and more interdependent.
| Where there are common eco
nomic and social interests. and
where the urban development OF
metropolitan area is continu-
GUS and not sharply divided at
political boundary lines, 1t is i'm
portant that basic planning should
be carried out for the whole area
and not for each section by itself

Federal responsibilities

The Federal Government has
double -barreled responsibilities in
putting the comprehensive plan
into action. Fist. the District
government. until some form OF
reorganization is cut into effect, is
still a Federal function.
AS such. it must accept all de-
velopment tasks that in the aver
age American city. are responsible
tiles of local government.
And second, the Federal estab-
lishment itself. as the major eco
nomic base of the community, can
make or break the future of the
city by its policy-or lack Oh pol
icy-on geographical arrangement
of its operations.
Most important is decision on
the policy of locating future CEN
tiers of Federal employment. This
is the basic question on which rests
the validity of the comprehensive
plan, and the future of the metro
politan community.
AS local government, the District
Commissioners have responsibility
to use the comprehensive plan, to
gain from 1t. and to participate In
its further evolution and more de-

sion is now pending. This will
assure the community that plan
ming guidance is a part OF every
action that would affect the city's
future development. The National
Capital Metropolitan Area would
then become the area included
in the 1850 census definition.
Final authority to decide, how
ever, rests with the responsible
administrative or legislative body.
In addition to city planning,
the Commission has some direct
powers. AS a park commission
since 1924, it buys all lands in
the District for parks, parkways
and Fairgrounds. In accordance
with its own plans, 1t decides
where and at what time to buy
property, with funds allocated to
it, and then transfers the sites
to the administrative agencies.
Contributes Funds.
In Maryland and Virginia. un-
der agreements with the States
and local authorities under the
Capper-Cramton Act of 1880. the
Commission acquires land for the
George Washington Memorial
Parkway. a major feature Of the
regional plan. By agreement
with the Maryland-National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commis-
sion. it advances and contributes
funds for the extension of the
National Capital park system into
Maryland.
This land acquisition power Is
a unique tool. giving the general
planning agency a strong. direct
hand in putting into effect a key
element of it's overall planning
recommendations.
Under other special acts, the
Commission has authority to set
the boundaries Of redevelopment
project areas and approve redevel-
opment plans, to modify or change
the official highway plan. and to
approve the location, height, and
bulk of Federal public buildings
not subject to zoning control.
Can't Pass Laws.
In short, this Commission op-
crates much like the planning
commission of any other American
city. It cannot pass laws and or
dinances, nor. levy taxes. Except
for parks, 1t cannot buy land for
public use. It cannot clear slums.
or build buildings, or enforce
laws; or regulate traffic. Yet all
of these things must be done II
the comprehensive plan Is to be
carried out.
Having prepared the plan. the
Commission's job is to keep Its
goals before the public and the
administrative agencies. The plan
must be brought to bear. day in
and day out, as one Of the factors
in immediate decisions. Only to
the extent that the Planning
Commission is a working part Of
local government, participating in
daily decisions-and only to the
extent that the comprehensive
plan is living thing, real to the
people of the community and
standing for what they need and
want-will the growth and change
that Is sure to come in Washing
ton move in the direction of the
goals and aims Of planning.
