Some idea planes will be u: mi! of the rapidity with which this work may be done is contained in the statement of the Navy Department that it is possi- ble for four planes, flying in a line 5 miles apart and at 100 miles per hour, to map a strip of country 20 miles wide and 100 miles long, of 2,000 square miles in one hour. How- ever, it is stated that in actual prac- tice areas of this size will not be mapped in one flight unless unusual atmospheric conditions exist. The mapping will be done from an alti- tude of 12,000 feet, and one of the greatest difficulties the aviators will have to encounter will be to avoid clouds, which will obstruct the area to_be charted The description charted is con of the ined in area to be vy included in section comprises all of southeasterr Alaska.

Elimination of the Michigan avenue grade crossing, where the Baltimore and Ohio metropolitan branch crosses Michigan avenue, between Eighth and Ninth streets northeast, 1s before the District Commissioners in the form of a bill being drawn up for presentation to Congress at the. ses-| sion to open tomorrow.

Traffic tie-ups, near accidents and | congestion of traffic which goes over | the Monroe street bridge to avoid the- | Michigan avenue grade crossing are only a few of the existing evils which would be cured by a viaduct, resi- dents of the section say. The pro- tection at the crossing is by a cross-) ing gate and bell, non-automatic but operated by a flagman. Only a few months ago, an automobile traveling at high speed crashed through the gates. Congestion Is Acute. Trafic congestion is particularly acute about 9:15 in the morning and | 5 o'clock in the afternoon when local trains stop at University Station, only a few yvards from the crossing. Frequently the trains are so stopped that the coaches entirely block the crossing, tieing up traffic for several minutes at a time. A -count taken by’ the Michigan; | Park Citizens’ Association only a | month ago shows heavy traffic using the Michigan avenue approach to Washington and traveling the other’ way into Maryland. The count taken over 10 hours, starting at 8 o'clock in the morning showed that 33 trains passed through the crossing; 1,897 vehicles crossed the tracks, nearly alt B U. S.

The crossing is made particularly daagerous, according to Mr. Faulkner, by the projection of hous almost on the tracks, shutting out ew of the approach from hoth sides Approaching, from the west the view up and ddwn the track is cut off on the north by the shation, and on the south by a store abutting almost on the tracks. From the west, the view is cut eff on the north by a low shed and on the south by another store, again near the track. At the peint of_the crossing the Baltimore and Ohio tracks curve west going through Takoma Park and on the southern side curve farther south 4nd a lttle west coming inte the Union Station. This,” coupled with ather obstructions, according to resi- dents of the locality, makes jt impos- sible to see.a.train coming.at high speed, from either direction. : The Michigan Park Association has heen told by Commissioner Bell that Michigan avénue is to- be. made a boulevard at some future date, but that .nothing will be, done im this direction until means for eliminat- ing the grade crossing are carried qut. Another factor, which will double the danger at the point, resi- dents say, is the forthcoming large building program both east and west of Michigan avenue and Bunker Hill road. SAUSAGE MUFFS APPEAR.
