Autumn Is misleading. It's

The Lesson of
LOuisburg Square
By ROBERT J. LEWIS

THERE ARE NO magic
l. formulas, no instant
solutions. But the quest goes
on for better ways to do
things. With a new twist,
old ideas sometimes can be
bonanzas. Consider the ex-
ample Of Boston's Louis
burg Square.
Along with Leicester
Square in London, Gramercy
Park in New York, and 500
or more other neighborhoods
around the United States,
Louisburg Square has q
privately owned common
green" to enhance its char
acter.
More than that, Louis
burg Squares home owners
for 125 years have been
maintaining the small park
which their homes surround.
Here was an idea that stood
the test Of time, and one that
became q prototype.
In recent years, new neigh
borhoods have been built to
LouiSburg Squares general
pattern. They were designed
to offer an attractive en-
vironment and q better
than-average chance for
continuing good looks and
desirability. As q result, they
caught the eye Of the Federal
Government.
Now all this broad expert
ence Of cooperative owner
ship and maintenance Of
green space has been judged
in a nearly completed study
that may have far-reaching
influence throughout the
United States.

This will be individually ii
action ever projected in the
huge Southwest Washington
redevelopment area.
The proposed prices are con-
siderably lower than those
paid In recent years by the
National Capital Housing Au-
thority for public housing sites,
both on the basis of the price
per square foot and on the
cost Of land per dwelling unit.
Nine parcels are included in
the transaction. They are in
four tracts adjacent to each
other. All will be leased at 6
per cent Of the land price an
nually. Land for $50 town
houses. which are to be des-
ignated for sale, will even
tually be purchased.
OF a total of 1923 units pro-
jected for construction, 728
will be elevator apartment
units, 100 will be walk up
apartments. and $50 will be
the town houses to be sold.
Hearing Slated
A public hearing on the pro-
posed decision to lease the
land has been scheduled by
RIA for 1890 am. Tuesday
in its offices at 919 Eighteenth
street NV.
In a recent resolution set
ting land prices. the RIA board
said disposal Of the parcels to

The resolution set a prict
of $1.96 q square loot for lane
| to be used as sites for the 12(
walkup apartments and for the
1870 town houses.
Other Prices Listed
The price Of one elevator
apartment site was set at $3.4C
a square foot. The price Of the
other elevator apartment site
was fixed at $3.75 a square
foot.
The 728 units Of elevator
apartment construction are
proposed to be financed with

by the Federal Housing Admin
istration. Town houses and

financed conventionally.

THE FIRST PRACTICAL
result Is q Federal Housing
Administration guidebook
due next January. It aims at
encouraging construction Of
more town houses on the
green" with Federal assist
ance.
But 1t should be filled
with ideas for present-day
city jewellers, too; for owners
who want to keep city neigh
borhoods looking their best;
and for those who want TO
transform them into some
thing better.
This new guide is FHA's
first full-scale recognition
that many city and subur-
ban residents can't afford
the hours Of subjugation 10
gardening, lawnmowing, and
lot maintenance that
has almost inevitably ac-
companied the purchase Of q
house.
The alternative the up
dated regulations win pro-
vide is the possibility Of
common ownership Of major
amounts of green space"
and an arrangement for
common m aintenan c Q
through neighborhood as
sociations.
Much Of the land In such
new neighborhoods would be
cared for by the associations
own gardeners, or by q con-
tractor. Only token gardens
adjacent to each house would
be left for individual care.
Thus the pattern could be
broken that has too often
chained the home owner to
care for grass and shrub
berry and work around the
garden. Thus, also, could
jointly financed mainte-
nance guarantee freedom
from irritation against
neighbors who might be un-
able to shoulder, individually,
their share Of the burden
of maintaining the good ap-
pearance Of q neighborhoo
ALREADY IN Washington,
q few home-owner groups
are engaged in cooperative
neighborhood maintenance.
The success Of the associa-
ton that jointly finances
front-yard care for two small
groups Of homes on Water
side drive, Just south Of
Massachusetts, avenue, is
outstanding.
Next time you have an
opportunity, turn south on
Waterside drive, at q point
opposite the Mosque. Look
sharply to the left and you'll
see the two groups Of homes.
Periodic lawn-mowing and
shrubbery care by a con-
tract gardener are financed
by q fund to which the
owners contribute).
In contrast to many Wash
ington neighborhoods, Louis
burg Square has no front
yards. This Beacon Hill Sec
ton where Louisa May Al
colt lived, and where Jenny
Lind was married, has only
its small park to maintain.
But the lesson 1t teaches
Is one Of cooperation to dc
the Job that needs to be done
Properly adapted, the lesson
could help to transform
Washington.
For front-yard neglect
and those unsightly strips OF
ground between sidewalk and
curb-constitute a major
blemish in most residential
and commercial neighbor-
hoods. Cooperative main
tenance could turn out to be
the key TO q welcome i'm

Williams Unorthodox Shot
Helps Coolidge Tie for Lead
BY JIM CAWOOD
Contributing Writer

Very few basketball players
shoot a Jump shot in such an
unorthodox manner as does
Frank Williams of Coolidge
High School. BY the same
token, not many makesas many
baskets as Williams does.
Williams scored II points, all
but two on his long jumper,
and played his usual fine floor
game to pace the Colts to q
1882 victory over Roosevelt
yesterday at Roosevelt.
The triumph gave Coolidge
a tie with Cardozo for the lead
in the Interhigh League West
Division Both teams have To
records, followed closely by
Dunbar with a So mark.
Williams shot, usually at
tempted from Is feet out, re-
semble a two-hand Jump shot,
II you can imagine such a thing,
but actually he has one hand
cupped under the ball. How
ever, he holds onto the ball with
both hands until the last sec
ond. giving the shot a high
trajectory-like a set shot.
Such longtime basketball
men as John Holup, former
George Washington University
star and now coach at Roose-
welt, and Sal Hall, a referee for
many years, can't remember
anyone having a shot like it.
But as Holup says, it goes in
consistently. and that's all that
counts.
The Colts led all but the first
few minutes, pulling away in
the third quarter by outscoring
the Rough Riders, 1919. All
five starters scored in double
figures, with Aaron Shingler
netting IA to tie williams for
top honors. Football Coach
Walter Kirk filled in for Coach
Julian Colangelo.
Boyce Smith Of Roosevelt led
all scorers with 10 points, 13
coming in the final quarter.
Smith and Calvin (Tuba) Alex
ander gave the Riders a slight
edge in rebounding, not enough
to prevent their fifth loss in
eight league games. Alexander
was credited with 13 rebounds,
as was Bill Bishop of Coolidge.
