URBAN RENEWAL ISSUE:
Downtown Costs Probed

A special House District sub
committee considering legisla-
ton to permit urban renewal
for downtown Washington will
consider several key questions
this week.
An estimate that only $50
million will be needed for a
subsidy for land acquisition for
a project covering 632 down.
town acres will be closely ex-
amined.
The subcommittee viii ex-
anime the cost estimates and
consider recommending legis-
lation to the entire House Dis
trict Committee. Sponsors of
the legislation hope for passage
by Congress this session, to
permit start on planning for
the project this year.
Representative Burke, Demo-
crat Of Kentucky and chairman
of the subcommittee, said he
planned to have his subcom-
mittee meet this week to make
recommendations on a bill in
troduced by Representative
Auchincloss, Republican Of New
York.
Seek Expansion
The Auchincloss bill would
expand the definition of blight
to include commercial areas.
Present District legislation does
not permit urban renewal for
commercial areas, such as the
project proposed by Downtown
Progress, a group dedicated to
the rehabilitation of downtown.
Boundaries Of the proposed
project include the north side
Of Pennsylvania ave-, for which
President Kennedy has pro-
posed extensive rehabilitation.

the 632 acres is S290.5 million.
This is $160.9 million for the
land, and 1895 million for the
buildings on the land.
James c. Wilkes, ST., q men,
ber Of the executive COMMITTEES
of Downtown Progress, told the
subcommittee that new con-
struction for the project area
would add more than $171 mil
lion in tax valuation to the
property tax base for the Dis
trict.
Revenue Predicted
The cost Of improvements by
government agencies for the
area would be returned in less
than five years from the $6.s
million yearly increase In addi-
tional revenues from real estate
taxes and sales taxes alone,
Mr.. wilkes said.
The project would displace
an average Of 40 families per
year over the 10 years Of the
project. he said. After the
project is finished, there will
be an increase in the amount
Of housing close to downtown,
Mr.. Wilkes said.
Representative Burke said he
wanted more information about
the $50 million estimate fol-
land acquisition. He said:
"By sheer coincidence, the
area is almost the same as the
Southwest urban renewal
area. This downtown land viii
cost much more. I Just want tc
be sure on the cost estimate"
The people Of Washington
have no legislative body. If they
did, they would want to know
the cost. Representative Burke
said.

that the railroad would hesitate to

probably much of its present track
could be abandoned enabling
abundant land to be utilized for
other purposes. If the railroad
company refuses to sell or use
such land then the assessors
should feel free to raise the tax
assessments thereon. The Railroad
Committee can explain to the rail-
road company authorities that it
wishes to provide some additional
earnings for the railroad rather

this would fill the bill for a middle

We later drove out to the golf

doing in the terrific heat. Then we
drove south to see George Wash

the River Annex by the Potomac.
We looked over the boats docked

overlooking the water and had
something cool to drink. On our
way back home we passed the Fort
Belvoir Polo Field and since there
was game in progress we stop
ped a minute to watch since some
