At GREGG BROS. 110 Market St. Dial 9655 1980 POPULATION (Continued From Page One) The master plan’s recommen dations, he said, are based on a population of 60,000 or better. Wilmington has a large per centage of service people— white collar workers, including professional men—compared to the remainder of the country, according to the plan, which also shows a smaller compara tive percentage of craftsmen, foremen and kindred workers, including industrial workers. The citizenry of Wilmington is growing older, according to the report, which Simons attrib utes to the large number of re tired business men who make their homes here and the fact that the city is growing older. Since its inception in early colonial days, the city has been fortunate in that its planners have laid out wide sreets and have followed a general pat tern in each successive in crease of the corporate area, Simons declared. Wilmington, he said is not afflicted with the narrow streets of Charleston and other colonial cities. He said that the percentages in the use of land in Wilming ton run about like those of 22 other cities in the nation con sidered. The areas which in clude the 30 per cent which is vacant are the very areas which are now being filled as the city spreads out. Most of the city’s traffic load is carried by Third, Fifth, Mar ket, Castle, Dawson, Greenfield and 17th streets and the Caro lina Beach roads, according to Simons’ survey. He said that defects in a number of present streets are being pointed out and widening of some to four and six lanes is recommended in the master plan. “Eighth street could be a very good central semi-express way,” Simons declared. “It would require a good wide street, preferably with more than one lane, to handle traffic speedily.” The recommendations call for a widening of Eighth street to 100 feet. The plan also includes two 20-foot center lanes which would be close to cross streets for several blocks at a space and could be entered only at important through streets run ning across eighth. Such entry points would be at Castle, Dawson, Market and Grace, for example, according to Simons, who said that a traf fic circle at ninth and Nixon, on an extension of the speed way, and an overpass at the Atlantic Coastline railroad crossing on Eighth would help facilitate speeding up of traffic. in connection with the pro posed express street the plan predicts that the traffic volume in Wilmington will double by 1960. The increase in traffic vol ume in the southern states is much greater than that of the United States as a whole, Si mons pointed out. To help alleviate the down town parking situaticn, off street parking garages and off street parking lots are recom mended. The plan also points out that most of the city's traffic acci dents are in the downtown busi ness area on Third, Market. Princess, Chestnut, Second and Grace streets. Turning to parks and recrea tion facilities and plans, the ”e port shows that all recreation facilities now located in the city are being used to capacity and qSnoua a\ou jou aae aaaqj jeqj such facilities in Wilmington. “This is one of the city’s weak points,’’ Simons stated. The recommendation included enlargement and adding of new features to Greenfield park. Among the latter addition of a band shell in Greenfield lake, with prbvision for outdoor festi vals, was the chief recommen dation. This shell, according to Simons, would b similar to the Watergate Theatre in Washing ton, D. C. Another standout recom mendation in the parks and rec reation proposals is making of a great park along the Burnt Mill creek. This would provide the city with an invitating rec reation facility, as well as beau tification over a large area. Other recreation recommen dations include a number of play fields and playgrounds scattered at strategic spots over the city. The play fields would be primarily for older youth and adults in athletic games, while the playgrounds would be for the younger chil dren. The fields should run up to 10 acres and would be around a mile or more apart, while the playgrounds would be an acre or so in size and “should be situated so the children should not have to walk more than a half mile,” Simons said. Another of the larger features of the master plan is a large cultural center including an auditorium with parking space, recreation building, library, recreation building — to be lo cated across from the high school between Ann and Market streets. A small park to be located in front of the Customs building is another long-range sugges tion offered. In connection with traffic and beautification of the city, a rec reation park and play area in a slum clearance project at the bridge entrance to the city from the North on Third street, along with construction of improved apartments for residents, is suggested. This would beautify that section and help the city to make a better impression on visitors entering from that di rection. Other recommendations cov ered more briefly in the plan include new schools, hospitals, fire stations, water and sewer age and waste disposal, civic art and community appearance, especially at the entrances, and billboards, etc. These are eith er on an especially long-range basis or are already under con sideration. Another specific recommen dation is rehabilitation of the area between Wright and Rail road streets and Eighth and 13th streets. A large park and playground facility is among the suggestions. Among the plan’s predictions is the rising of self - contained neighborhoods in the city as it expands. Each would have its own business and shopping cen ter, school, church, playground, etc. Simons said that each such neighborhood would include from three to five thousand res idents, or perhaps fewer. PROBE TAKES ON — (Continued From Page One) ment of a year in jail and a $1, 000 fine. But Thomas failed to get an admission from Robert W. Ken ney, lawyer representing Trum bo, Maltz, Bessie, Lawson and a dozen other prosecutive witness es that he has advised them not to answer questions about Com munism and to invite prosecu tion. Kenney said silkily that to require him to say what he is telling the witnesses would be an invasion of the sacred field of lawyer-client relationships. Squirmed Out Thomas told him “You've squirmed out of this one temp orarily.” “But—but—but—” he sputter ed, “if the committee should determine there is a violation of the conspiracy act, we will refer it to the U. S. attorney.” “I might say the committee squirmed out of one, too,” Ken ney replied softly. “Neither one of us is intimidating the other. Right, Mr. Chairman” The crowded day brought plenty of other developments. At one point or other: Thomas said the committee “Has found more evidence of Communist activities” in Holly wood “than any other place we have ever investigated.” ROTARIANS (Continued From Page One) that membership is open to any man between 17 and 35 years of age who is physically quali fied.
