In Getting Funds for
Road Improvements

The National Capital Planning
Commission. in a formal state
ment, has called on Washington
area officials to speed simulta-
neous action to obtain appropria-
tions for highway improvements

that submitted to the Congress by
the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia including espe-
cially major highway improve
ments-is a necessity" the policy
statement said.
"The commission believes that
the stimulating impact of such a
program upon the several neigh
boring Jurisdictions in Maryland
and Virginia will promote and
encourage desirable and essential
coordination of the respective
public works programs of all
these Jurisdictions to the great
advantage of each," it added.
Urges Appropriations.
Appropriations should be
sought from Congress to cover
the Districts and the National
Park Services highway improve
ments in the District, and from
the proper sources for those of
Maryland and Virginia in the
area. the commission said.
The District has its public
works program before Congress.
National Capital Parks is seek
ing funds for its projects and
Maryland has adopted a pro-
gram. But Virginia is spending
only 81 million a year under a
pay-as-you-go plan.
Meanwhile, the commission
chairman. Harland Bartholomew,
and Engineer Commissioner
Louis w. Prentiss. possibly with
some other members Of the
commission. planned a confer
ence soon to try to reconcile diff
ferences between the comprehen-
slve plan and the Districts high
way Improvement program.
IS Pet. Agreement.

tary schools will graduate 1852

will be able to take only. 1881
pupils in the first year of high
school," he said.
by 1860, there will be at least
