quire additional land to give the canal the protection
it needs and to develop it into major park The
bill would authorize the purchase Of some 10000

say the additional land would protect the canal from
slightly developments and would provide the space to
create adequate access

gave ground to the park service
on some other road projects.
Construction Of the new river
crossing and the proposed high
way connections would cost
about $28.5 million. The Gov
ernment would pay about 90
per cent and the District the
balance.
The city is asking Congress
for permission to spend about
$5.5 million during the current
fiscal year to get the project
underway. The money would be
used for engineering plans and
right-of-way acquisition.
On the District side, the
planned highway construction
along the river would tie in
the bridge with the west leg Of
the city's proposed Inner loop
freeway system and, eventually,
with the proposed K street ex-
pressway.
