Plans for the largest parkway in
the United States, which may run
through the Arboretum and will wind
in a loop around Detroit through the
five counties of Vashtenaw, Wayne,
Livingston, Oakland and Macomb,
are being worked out now by the Hu-
ron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority'
in Detroit.
Stelio Moraes, graduate Brazilian'
student in the landscape architec-
ture school, is working on a plan of
the portion of the Huron-Clinton
Parkway which will pass through
Ann Arbor, and this plan will soon
be submitted to the Huron-Clinton
authorities for comment and pos-
sible use.
Authorities planned to run the
parkway through the Arboretum,
along the south side of the Huron
River, while Moraes has planned the

while this Detroit parkway will be
used more by the people."
"The parkway on the whole will
make accessible the largest amount
of area most suitable for public
recreation at the lowest cost of any
property proposal that has been
made," Prof. H. O. Whittemore
of the landscape architecture
school, said
"A system of parks, playgrounds,
bathing beaches, overnight shelters
could be quickly and easily reached
over new express highways radiating
from the heart of Detroit, routes
without intersection or traffic lights
to delay motorists headed for recrea-
ation lands."
The state legislature in November,
1940, passed a law setting up the
Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Author-
ity on the provision that the people
of the five counties voted in approval
of its formation.
The Detroit authority at first asked
for only part of the tax rate, one-
twentieth of a mill, since the war
delayed park construction, but they
are now asking for the full amount
of a quarter of a mill to purchase
land for the parkway at a reasonable actual construction and the upkeep
