Largest Parkway in U.S. May Gross ArboretumJAG GRADUATION: , ll Gr At t el PAGE 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 been developed as a city for tourists 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 price. later.
