District officials are cagey
about prospects for financing the
Icity's proposed $272 million
elmer loop" road network be-
cause-frankly-they don't know.
Highway Director ]. N. Rob-
ertson said yesterday that the
extent Of future Federal aid for
highways Is the major key.
If the ambitious aid programs
Ito be pushed on Capitol Hill in
the coming session are success
full. he said. enough District
money for the vast project would
he virtually assured.
If the aid bills flop, as they
did last session, prospects for the
loop freeway-at least on the
huge scale envisioned by city
consultants - will look pretty
bleak.
Mr.. Robertson noted, however,
that the consultants estimated
the loop system, entirely apart
from finances, would take from
IL to Is years to build. So the
completed system, under the best
possible conditions. is years away.
Beyond Budget
But the consultantS also noted
that the Districts present budget
can't provide for such q facility
alone. A look at the record
leaves no doubt Of that.
In the 10-year city public
works program drawn up two
years ago, highways were ear
marked for $1l1.9 million. OF
this, Mr.. Robertson said, about
| $42 million Is earmarked for
projects which make up the
inner loop.
During the last two years, a
couple Of encouraging things
have happened. The city has
received S. million instead Of So
million year In Federal high
way aid, and gas tax revenues
are up 81 million a year over
estimates.
This has swelled the District
Highway Fund, revenues from

which can be used almost en-.

revenues still are q far cry from
expenditures proposed by the
inner loop consultants.

ertson said. the District would
have qualified for $500 million

Engineering and contingencies.
I$36.6 million.
Most parts Of the loop pass
through rundown areas slated
for urban renewal" Gen. Lane
said timing Of construction
would be studied in relation to
renewal programs. which could
result in sharp savings in the
cost Of acquiring expensive land.
Land Acquisition Costs
This point already is evident
lin the consultants' breakdown
Iof costs. They estimated that
the southwest freeway. for ex-
ample, which passes through the
southwest redevelopment area,
will require only SIS million for
land acquisition as against $26.4
million for actual construction.
The western leg of the loop, how
ever, is estimated to cost q total
Iof $52.6 million-$19.9 million
of it in land acquisition alone.
Several stretches of the route
proposed by the consultants also
are expected to arouse strong
controversy. Between the Four
Iteenth street bridge network and
Lincoln Memorial. for example,
the consultants proposed the use
Iof Ohio drive-a move bitterly
opposed by Federal park and
planning leaders.
At two such trouble spots. the
consultants showed alternate
routes, but contended each would
be far costlier.
Speeds up to so miles an hour
would be possible on the loop.
but the report said top limits Of
10 miles an hour probably would
hold during rush hours.
Interim System" Plan
The interim system" Of one
way streets proposed by the con-
sultants during construction of
the freeway network generally
would use streets three or four
blocks away from the freeway
route.
Their reasoning was that these
streets, which need some i'm
|provement. would continue to
serve traffic even after the free
way is finished. If streets too
near the freeway were used. they
would be ripped up during free
way construction.
The interim system" proposes
using Twenty-flrst and Twenty
second streets NV. as one-way
routes on the west, @ and r
streets and Florida avenue on
1.-THE north. Fifteenth and Seven
lteenth streets Sc. on the east.
and the Southwest freeway F
street S.W.) on the south.
The loop would provide direct
mited-access connections" with
the major Potomac River bridges
and such streets as the White
hurst freeway, a proposed new
Ifreeway along New York avenue
connecting with the Baltimore
Washington parkway. West Vir-

if they were found up to the New

thing appears certain-a fine field
should develop for the New Castle,
too. 1t attracted a record list of 159
nominations, and from that impress

It could well be that the Shaw

streamlined to victory and earned
$101 500 in last years New Castle

more than two minutes, will become
the first horse to win Delaware

raced well recently and appears
primed for the weekend question
and also must be seriously consid~

There are plenty of good ones to
