BILLS TO ABOLISH GRADE CROSSINGS WILL BE PUSHED {Continueq’ from First Page) . missioners, the city planning bedy and the citizens’' associations—and the opinion also of the more prominent members of the Senate and House committees on District legislation—it is very desirable to secure legislative authority now to meet future situa- tions with respect to the construction of subways or viaducts at railroad crossings. 1f such blanket legislation granted it would not be nece: for the Commissioners to seek lex lative authori to eliminate each grade crossing as the specific and in- dividual occasion demands, action at th a on a particular & the elimination of the Mic hi- nue grade crossing as the one to be abolished this year under the five-year program, the District officiai: pointed out that portions of Mich! avenue necessary to the structural plan _must become public so that the aveniie may be widened to it tended width, in accordance with the nighway plan for at least the length of the structure. The pending bill authorizes the Commissioners to ac- quire the necessa land out of the appropriation of $275,000 provided. In the event condemnation proceedin not _less than one- of the total cost of the land required for the widening of Michigan avenue would be assessed as benefits. The amounts collected as beneft would be covered into the Treasury of lbe United States to the credit of the Dis- vict. Early Action Desirable. The Commissioners emphasize that the? desirability of eliminating the ex- isting dangerous grade crossings in the District as rapidly as possible; is manifest. The Michigan avenue bill is the second in this direction. the first being the one for the Lamond project, wheh is now in process of construction. The drive at the last session for a general bili to authorize elimination of all grade crossings came as a ret wult of a frightful accident at the Chestnut street crossing, where a bo; on his way t school and a atchman who heroically tried to save him lost their live: In recommending passage of this erade-crossing legislation, the Senate District committee had this to say as to the necessity for prompt action: “Fhere is a strong public demand for the elimination of these remain- Zan a iling grade crossings in the District of Columbia because of their constant peril to human life. The danger will increase as population in the sections where the crossings exist continues to grow; and, furthermore, the cost of condemnation of necessa land will 5 | increase very considerably if construc- tion of the viaducts and approaches is deferred until improvements are erected on needed property which is now vacant.” Numerous Other Crossings. Besides these four more important grade crossings there are crossings of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Sligo Mill road, at Queen Chapel road- and at Rives road, which are spanned by wooden bridges main- tained by the railroad company. No project for the replacement of these bridges has been considered because they are located over lines not heavily traveled and are kept up in a reason- ably substantial state of repair. On the freight line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad east of Anasostia River, there are grade crossings at Pennsylvania avenue, Howard road, Sumner road, Portland street and Magazine road. The elimination of these crossings has not been consid- ered thus far by the District authori- ties because of the very infrequent use of the railroad. Following a suggestion by Maj. Carey H. Brown, chairman of the city and park planning committee, that group on February 16, 1926, con- sidered the plans for elimination of grade crossings. The committee was of the opinion that Chestnut street should be closed by act of Congress and that either an overhead or under- ground pedestrian passageway should be provided by the railroad company. The committee also was of the opinion that an underpass should be constructed at the intersection of Piney Branch road and Fern street, rather than at Chestnut street. The committee also favored the construc- tion of a wviaduct along the line of Eastern avenue instead of Quarles street, for elimination of the Quarles street crossing. The reason for this recommendation is that Eastern ave- nue, besides being a border boulevard of the District, will also serve, in accordance with the present plan, as a portion of the park drive surround- ing the National Capital. —————————— People are apt to think of Mexico— so much in the public eye just now— as a small country and a poor one, whose national industry is the fo- menting of trouble. As a matter of fact, it is one of the biggest countries in the world, and one of the richest. full in- I~ BAND CONCERTS. ‘Walter Reed General Hospital, Georgia avenue extended, at 6:30 o'clock this evening by the United States = Navy Band, Charles Benter, leader; Charles W cond leader. | March, “The Gladiator’ Overture, “Morning, N Night in Vienna"..Von Suppe Valse caprice, ‘Moonlight Dreams” ...

Hal 1. Leyshon of the Miami Daily News, and R. P. Mitchell, Miami cor- respondent of the Associated Press, were the newspaper men who pierced the wall of silence between Nassau and the outer world. Their flight by airplane was not without adventure. Forced down an a deserted island when_fuel gave out, they were res- cued by a chance seaplane in search of a missing yacht, which supplied sufficient fuel to resume the flight to Nassau. Arriving at Nassau, the newspaper men found .the wireless down and were unable to communicate with radio stations in Miami.
