Sees Losses Offset
Downtown Progress planners
feel that the revitalization of
the central area of the city
will result in net increases in
the total housing supply, off
setting losses from the highway
program. Their plan calls for
9,100 new apartment units in
downtown alone-a net in
crease of about 5.000-and
planners say the adjacent CEN
tral area could develop further
net increases in dwelling units
with possibly as many as
an additional 5000 new apart
ment units.
As to the immediate impact
on individual families to be
displaced. District Engineer
Commissioner Frederick j.
Clarke comedies that the city
should do more in the future
to help tighten the problems OF
relocation. He feels it is a pro-
blem involving close coordina-
ton of several city programs
housing, urban renewal, well
fare and schools. In planning
new urban renewal areas
housing for lower income fam
lilies is to be built to provide
dwelling units for those being
displaced by various District
public works programs.
The critics also see freeways
as a blighting influence on the
economic base of the city.
Critics say the freeway sys-
tenn would mean that the Dis
trict's potential population
loss ultimately would occur fol
the most part among white
families of upper or middle in.

country home this week end
to discuss with the Washing

sent at Carter Barron Am

is an enthusiastic supporter

ballet.
"If a child waits until she
is out of high school to begin

Danilova, who begins in

One non-ballet class she
would definitely urge into
the curriculum of this self
contained school is needle
work.
"You have to have needle
work. You must be able to
sew the button. In ballet,
always something breaks and
you have to sew it. We al

Interstate Link
In counting the number of
dwelling units and people to
be dislocated, highway officials
included a north-central route
for the Districts link to Inter-
state 70-S and did not include

Critics of the freeway pro-
gram estimate that 35 per cent
of the Districts total land area
will be used up by autos by
1880.
District highway officials
answer that 25.6 per cent of
the Districts total land area

870 acres used for parkways

Measuring the number of
acres now actually paved for
traffic in the District, high
way officials come up with a
total of 5.490, or IA per cent of

$4,000 Outside Job
By CHARLES ID. PIERCE

C. T. Nottingham. District
licensing official, said today
he has given up a $12.000-a-
year outside job to avoid any
appearance of conflict of in
terest.
This action was taken by
Mr.. Nottingham, superintend-
ent of Licenses and Permit Di-
vision, after an inquiry by the
District Commissioners into
the question of whether any
city employees are engaged in
Sparetime activities that con-
flict with their District jobs.
Mr. Nottingham said in a
letter to Engineer Commits
sioner Frederick j. Clarke that
he has severed all connection
with Guardian Federal Savings
and Loan Association.
The District official said he
had been serving as a vice
president and director Of this
association for nearly IS years
with the full knowledge and
consent of successive Boards
of Commissioners"
Sees No Conflict
IN recent months" Mr.
Nottingham said, there has
arisen some question as tc
whether I was faced with q
conflict Of interest. I have
given this very serious con-
sideration and have concluded
that no conflict ever existed
Nevertheless, 1 am aware oi

of the United States that pub
lie servants should avoid any
activity giving even the ap'
pearance of conflict of inter
est.
In order to dispel any pos
Sible doubt that 1 put my obi

Gen. Clarke said the Com
missioners never had an
doubt about Mr.. Nottingham
integrity. We never though
that Mr.. Nottingham was in
volved in anything but the mos
ethical practices, but he ap
parently has decided to avoi

flict of interest"

The population shift and loss
Of taxable property due to the

They contend that income
tax losses will be about $1.8

be about $2.3 million; property
tax losses will be about So mil

taxes-based on the fear that

needs-will hit 81 million an

say, road maintenance, repair

que that any real estate tax

more permanent if the free
