the prompt dispatch of food calls
for clear traffic lanes. This is not
possible in the present space. Gar

will stimulate needed growth rather than
congest existing communities?
Anyone who ventures answers to these
questions today is guessing. There simply
are no answers There cannot be any answers
until there is regional plan relating the
future development Of each Jurisdiction to
that of its neighbors And there is no plan
in existence today which even attempts to
guide future growth toward the goal of a
cohesive community
And then, Of course, even when such a
plan does exist, it cannot be the whole
answer The best plan can be effective only
If government officials with the power to act
are willing to act on it,
Devising the new political machinery to
accomplish these ends will not be easy No
other metro has quite the political problems
that exist here, where two States and the
Federal Government join county, city and
town jurisdictions in the effort to deal with
metro growth.
Yet, for all the difficulties, there is rea-
son for hope. In several instances some
area Jurisdictions already have joined forces
voluntarily TO cope with such problems as
water supply and sewage disposal None Of
these steps has been areawide. But they
have shown that it is possible for separate
political bodies to get together when they
know it is in their interest to do So
Leaders of Fairfax, Falls Church, Alex
andria and Arlington recently completed a
study OF the common problems which have
resulted from their regional growth" Apart
OF their report contained this statement:
While in some respects this Northern
Virginia) is a metropolitan community Of
nearly half million people, in other re-
spects 1t is still little more than an aggrega-
ton Of small communities Indifferent to the
common needs and problems that bind them
together, and unreconciled to having grown
into metropolitan status.
THE large housing developments
(are) islands of population and shopping
centers. Their civic associations and mer-
chants associations continue to be pre-
occupied with neighborhood interests.
Their stand on local public issues is more
often formulated from the narrow viewpoint
OF their particular neighborhoods than the
vantage point of the area as a whole"
This statement was intended TO apply
only TO the nearby communities of North
ern Virginia. 1t is no less a description of
the common problem facing all the jurisdic-
tions of Metro Washington as 1t plunges
into further urbanization.

problems of the last decade have centered
in this 3OO-mile region But Il is the remain
ing 1900 square miles-the room for future
expansion-that have officials shaking their
heads with wonder and worry.

Va. But the main pattern of metro growth
has been a constant spread of intense de-
velopment outward from the Districts

There is1ogic in this pattern of course.
Urban growth occurs most naturally where
there already are streets. sewer systems and
schools-as, for example, in the closer areas
like Arlington. Alexandria and parts Of
Montgomery and Prince Georges counties.
These areas have grown explosively.

District DR.. Pickards projected statistics
are shown in detail in table at the bottom
of this page.
DR.. Pickard based his projections largely
on migration trends, the expansion of eco
nomic development to provide jobs for new
residents, and startling increase in birth
rates. Some officials think his figures are
too high-or at least that growth will not
take place as fast as he believes There may
be, these officials feel, leveling of as the
area feels the pressures of additional growth.
Past experience, however, is on the side
Of DR.. Pickard. As recently as 1913, the
National Capital Planning Commission pre-
dicted metro Washington would not reach
2 million population until $780, It's just
about there now

The Outlook

Recently, an area-Wide conference on
Potomac River pollution, called by the
United States Public Health Service and
held in Virginia, was boycotted by the Vir-
ginia State Water Control Board. The board
said in effect the State could handle its
problems by itself.
Fortunately, Fairfax County officials
Immediately and bitterly denounced the
State board Fortunately, too, it was one of
very few diScordant notes in a steady trend
toward metro Washington cooperation.
There have been several manifestations
of this trend recently
The most important single project Is
the 100000, area-wide transportation sur.
vey, undertaken by the Regional Planning
Council. This two-year study report, to be
finished early next year, will propose various
possibilities for combinations of expreSsways
and rapid transit, and methods for their
area planning, construction and financing.
A key part Of the report will be WASH
ington's first regional plan for the restric-
ton of future land uses Such a plan is
essential to determination of future de-
mands for highways and transit. Its more
far-reaching Importance may be to help the
metro area establish coming controls to
assure orderly development.
Ranking in importance with the trans
portation study is the new Washington
Metropolitan Regional Conferences group
of governing officials from every Jurisdiction
in the Washington metro. who banded to-
gether several months ago to discuss their
mutual problems.
The conference is patterned after q
permanent Mayors Conference" formed
by New York's Mayor Robert Wagner last
year to attack that areas metropolitan
headaches The Washington group already
has divided into committees to study pos
sibilitieS for cooperative action.
The new conference is the most promis-
ing step Washington has taken in recogni.
ton of its metro problem. 1t is a ready-made
forum to handle the transportation report
next year, and to consider new steps in
other directions.
Among other moves in the metro direc-
ton was the merger several weeks ago Of
all the areas Community Chests, for the
purpose of area-wide, Embarrassing and ad-
ministration Of service programs
A House-Senate joint committee soon
will begin an l8-month study of Washing
TONS growth problems-how they developed,
how they are being handled, and the Federal
Governments role in the future
The Interstate Commission on the Po-
tomac River Basin is attacking metro pollu-
ton problems. The White House repeatedly
soon will take steps to insure more orderly
procedures in the location of new Federal
buildings in the area. Regional planners are
in the midst of an extensive study of ways
to preserve open spaces in the region for
metro parks, airportS, schools and play
grounds.
None Of them is broad enough as yet to
take in all aspects Of the metro problem.
Whether they are the forerunners of special
purpose authorities, compacts or other forms
OF regional political machinery are the chal-
lengeS of the future.

METRO City tomorrow
Washington Area Ponders It's Future

Some time before the end Of this year
the birth Of baby will push Metropolitan
Washington's population over the million
mark.
In 1910 the population figure was only
967,9S5. Eight years from now it may be
"a million: by 1880. SIS million.
BY the year 1000, as the suburbs continue
to fill in and extend with new subdivisions
and shopping centers, some experts envision
a regional population Of nearly million. BY
that time Washington's Metropolitan Area
metro" for short--may well have merged
with Baltimore's.
Growth statistics like these are matched
in dozens Of metros all over the country. In
all of them problems have pyramided stead
lily as more and more people have concen-
trated in the city regions.
Since the end Of World War II long
time residents of this area have watched
our suburban expansion with amazement.
They have seen the local city and county
governments of Maryland and Virginia
struggle with increasing desperation to meet
the demands of their new urbanized popula-
tons for more and more schools, streets,
sewers, parks and health clinics.
For the most part the local suburban
governments have tackled these problems
Independently Of one another and independ-
emily Of the District of Columbia, which has
severe headaches Of its own.
So far they have been able to get away
with it. To large extent, in their struggle
to keep up with growth, the areas separate
Jurisdictions have relied on existing highway
networks, the same water supplies that have
served each of them for decades. and the
same old forms Of local taxation and admin
iStration
During the last few years. however, two
things have become increasingly apparent.
First. the local populations are increas-
ing to the point where they can no longer
be handled by simple extensions and inn
provementS of the old systems. AS growth
continues, local governments must build
areawide expreSSway systems. look outside
their own boundaries for distant watersheds
which may supply their needs-and develop
new sources Of revenue.
Secondhand this is the great metro
challenge here as elSewhere-the provision
of these services viii become so difflcult and
expensive that it no longer will be either
practical or desirable for the present sepa-
rate jurisdictions to act independently Of
their neighbors.

THE URBAN GROWTH
IS ~ IS m 1857 ACTUAL
As " VIII or m 1880 ESTIMATED

In outlying areas, rates of growth have
varied sharply, depending on the ability Of
local governments to provide the needed
new services.
MarylandiS highly effective bicounty
Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission,
for example, generally has kept up with the
demands of developers for new water and
sewers. and the result has been tremendous
population increases in Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties. The other extreme
is found in Fairfax County, Va. where.
despite its great size, development has
Jagged in the absence of effective water and
sewer programs.
Since metro growth began in earnest
here, it virtually all has taken place in the
suburbs. Between 1910 and 1850 the Dis
tricts population grew only from $4,000 to
500. l78-an increase of 81 per cent The
suburbs in the same period jumped 1T per
cent.
DR.. Jerome p Pickard, economic devel-
opment director of thesWaShington Board
of Trade. estimates the Districts present
population at about 100000. He puts the
suburban figure at a little more than IL
million. He predicts that for the rest Of this
century the population Of our metros core
will remain virtually constant, while the
fringes will grow rapidly. BY the year 1000,
he believes, the area will have 48 million

The Problem

The need is for a new, unified approach.
Yet conflict and competition today are driv-
ing the various political fragments Of the
Washington metro further apart at q time
when the force of growth is making them
more dependent on one another.
Virtually no thought has been given in
the Washington community to the economies
that are possible through Joint action. There
has been little recognition that the efficiency
with which one county solves its problems
can benefit all the others.
The greatest barrier to cooperative
action-here as in all the Nations metros
is the absence Of political machinery to draw
the scattered jurisdictions together.
What can Metro Washington do about 1t?
Should it attempt to create new SUPER
level Of government with powers to plan,
build, and administer regional programs?
Should it develop special authorities that
could deal with single problems like trans
portation and water supply? Should parts
of the metro area band together in smaller
compacts? Or is it possible for separate
local governments to coordinate their own
programs, guided by an areawide develop
ment plan?
These are questions which other metros
already are asking themselves. The answers
in Washington can come only after officials
Of the entire area learn more about their
common problems, and weigh the benefits
Of various courses Of action against the po-
litical difficulties involved
AS they search for these answers, our
officials must be careful not to oversimplify
the question before them. True, they will
be trying to coordinate the physical con-
struction programs Of the various jurisdic-
tions. But that is not all. The big question
they must answer is this one: What kind

people to live in-will these construction
programs help producer
Already some Of Washington's suburban
communities are so overcrowded 1t is be-
coming impossible TO build enough schools,
so lacking in basic amenities Of decent living
that they threaten to become slums. AS in
tensive growth continues, attractive sub
urban neighborhoods are in danger OF being
smothered.
And what Of the metro as a whole? Will
Washington's unique recreational resources
like the Potomac River-be developed for
the benefit Of the whole area, or for Just
the few families living near them? Will the
