The District has completed
tentative plans for q dual. four
lane roadway through Glover
Archbold Park, which extends
from the Potomac River to
Upton street NV. west Of
Georgetown.
The projected parkway has
been given top priority as a
link between the planned Po-

may serve as the western end
of a proposed District inter-
mediate loop highway. And
there is q possibility 1t may

this summer. The parkway may
not be ready for motorists,
however. before late 1858.
Development Opposed

Most Of the park land was
donated in 1924 by Mrs. Anne

District formally agreed to re-
strict the donated land to park
use, but retained q l00-foot

was never carried out. Mrs.

any road in the park.

Plans called for two 26-foot
roadways running generally

and a small percentage change
in the present level.
Mr.. Wiser's proposed increase
was described as "temorary, "
but his l89-page decision Of
fered no date for ending it.
The recommendation is subject
to approval Of the five-man
board before going into effect.
The CABS main objective in
opening the general passenger
fare investigation case in 1856
was to set standards for fixing
of future passenger tariffs.
Fair Level Needed"
What is needed" Mr.. Wiser
said, lis a fair level that will
enable the carriers to survive
reasonable periods Of bad
times" Profits Of the airlines
fell from $63 million in 1855
to $2T million in 1857.
History shows" his decision
reads, that when earnings OF
a particular year fall below 10
per cent. the danger point Of
financial difficulties Is at hand.
ALSO, it is only simple JUS
tice that the carriers be allowed
fairly high returns in an indi-
vidual year If the five-year
average is low and this will
help bring it up to q reasonable
figure"
He estimated the IL per cent
