acted.

Hearing Set to Decide
On City Hall Site

into a long-range program to
renew blighted areas.
The official said a program
would have to be set up for
various projects throughout the
city, not just a new city hall,
before the funds could be OBJ
tanned through the Federal ur-
ban renewal program.
He said that city would have
to adopt a minimum housing
and hygiene code, have a COM
prehensive land use plan, a
neighborhood analysis for speci-
flc projects, and comply with
several other requirements.
He added that the city's ap-
pllcation for Federal funds would
be "scrutinized very carefully"
because of its rejection last year
of a proposal for commercial
redevelopment, with Federal aid,
of a rundown area on upper
Duke and Prince streets.

Federal City,
Nearby Urged
Butler Wants a.
'Tempos' Wrecked

Demolition of A World War I
temporary buildings and their
replacement by a $125 million
Federal City" in nearby Prince
Georges County will be proposed
in a bill to be introduced in the
Senate Monday by Senator But
Ter. Republican, of Maryland.
Under the Butler proposal the
new Government buildings would
be constructed by private con-
tractors and leased to the United
States under the Public Build
ings Act of 1854. After 20 years
ownership would go to the United
States Government.
Senator Butler said last night
he had some of the leading
building contractors in Balti-
more engaged in a study Of the
proposals and possible sites in
Prince Georges and Montgom-
cry Counties.
Ideal Site Found
"They have surveyed several
sites and have concluded that
Prince Georges County offers the
best possibilities" Senator But
Ter said. "One particular loca-
ton there is ideal. It is in the
Greater Metropolitan Area and
readily accessible to Washington.
"rhey have also arrived at
cost data, and estimate that a
Federal City project on this
particular site would cost ap-
proximately $125 million. :.
Demolition of the ugly tenn
porary buildings in Washington
is long overdue.
Their replacement without a
tremendous outlay of taxpayer
money is desirable.
Private Financing.
This can be done by private
financing under the terms of the
Public Buildings Contract Act
of 1854 Location of the re-
placements in nearby Maryland
is also highly desirable from a
civil defense standpoint and also
because facilities can be made
available at a cost less than it
would require to replace them
in Washington.
This means a great saving of
Federal funds and should appeal
particularly to the economy
minded Eisenhower adrninistra-
ton.
1.-THE sites in Prince Georges
County have the advantages of
being close to Washington and
served by public transportation
facilities.
Location of a Federal City
there also would relieve traffic
congestion in the Nations Capt.
tai and fit in with the Civil de-
Tense and Office of Defense Mo-
bilization objective Of dispensing
essential facilities. It also
would permit early demolition of
the unsightly and battered tenn
porary buildings that are a dis
grace to Washington"

tect Robert A. Willgoos to ex-
anime various locations.
One of the locations suggested

citation has gone on record
against moving the city hall
from its present location in the
