been expended by RIA and
NCPC on development Of the
present plans. Further, Webb
81 Knapp were told from the
beginning that the plan must be
guided by the NCPC blue hook
for the Southwest survey area,
adopted in 1852. and Mr.. Bar
|tholomew has said publicly that
the plan evolved to date SUBJ
stantially follows those specif1-
cations. Moving the south Mall
to Eighth street, however. would
substantially reduce the area
available for housing. would
alter considerably the 1852 land
use proposals and constitute a
rather complete abandonment Of
the specifications which Webb 81
Knapp was instructed to follow.
Moving the south Mall to
Eighth street would, In addition
to removal Of the GSA. building.
require the depression Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks.
This has been estimated to in
volye q cost Of between 81 and
So million. So far, no one has
suggested who would meet this
cost, although it has been ex-
plored thoroughly with the rail-
road and others.
IF the south Mall is to run
from Independence avenue to
the river. as it would at Tenth
street, 1t would also require ton
Eighth street, the demolition Of
Jefferson Junior High School
and Its replacement at q cost Of
perhaps SIS million. Addition
ally, the change would require
the elimination either of the
Government Office buildings,
which are a key part of the webb
and Knapp plans, or for some
one-third Of the housing units.
Undoubtedly other problems
would be encountered also, as
the idea developed.
Stresses Air Museum Site
"On the other hand. the only
apparent objection to the plan
which now has tentative NCPC
approval Is that it would not
make available the site between
