ty to guide its explosive

mendations were based, the re-
port was printed at a cost of
approximately $4,000, financed
by part local and part federal
funds.
Basically, the plan conforms
to the Year 1000" plan pub
lished last year by the National
Capital Planning Commission
and the anticipated recommen-
dations expected Nov. l of the

In a cautioning note, the re-

this tract is already zoned for

have been built at the location,
