Mayor Ernest, also in his report, re- wiewed the history of improvements of the town, and said that it is believed hh‘:t the next major program should be improvement of the sidewalks. This will be made possible by the action of the Legislature earlier in the year in in- creasing the borrowing capacity of the town from 1 to 2'; per cent of the as- sessed valuation. However, he said that it is proposed to make this a voluntary improvement program, and announced that full hearings will be given all prop- erty owners before any decision as to | such improvements are ordered. He | also announced that a program d been mapped out, in conjunction with the State forestry department, for the trimming and cutting of trees on the public highways, which will have to be done gradually on account of the ex- Praises Women's Work.

Normally, I would content myself with a simple statement of the progress which has been made in this important matter. However, I shall, in justice to the council, be forced to dwell briefly upon certain matters, which, ordinarily, I would not mention. For instance, statements have besn made reflecting in an unfair manner not only upon the mayor, but upon at least one member of the council, the inference being given that we are ac- tuated in our judgment not by a desire to serve Kensington earnestly and faith- fully, but by other less worthy motives.” It was at this point that he made his charge of unfair citizenship against those who participated in the alleged slanderous remarks. “In its earliest consideration of this important public work,” he said, “the council adopted the policy of advocating the elimination of the &mnt crossing. I would like to emphasize that as being the first principle considered—the elim- ‘ination of the present dangerous spot. ‘The second consideration was the establishment of the new crossing. The council has constantly endeavored to hold its feet on the ground in this mat- ter, belleving that the elimination of the danger zone was the most impor- tant consideration.” Reviews Grade Work. In reviewing the histcry of the ef- forts to obtain the elimination of th?l grade crossing, Mayor Ernest told of surveys made by an engineer of the State Roads’ Commission, and said that it is noteworthy that that official in | his preliminary inspection criticized the establishment of a so-called big under- pass, and ventured the thought that the most practicable route would be by means of an overhead bridge. He also pointed out that the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commis- slon did not look with favor upon the proposed underpass, and he added that as & result of the expert advice gained from the several sources the opinion was definitely gathered by members of the council that the underpass | was not a practicable method of estab- | Mishing a new crossing. This opinion, he continued, was intensified when A C. Warthen of Kensington appeared be- fore the council and criticized the pro- posed underpass, and suggested an ‘overhead bridge at Lincoln avenue by Fay T Conmectiout and Howard ues. ‘During the year 1928, he continued, | F°8¢- “history was aiso written in connection - with the underpass which is not con- tained in the correspondence. I refer to the political break between the State Senator from Montgomery County and the delegation in the House of Delegates from Montgomery County. ‘This break occurred some time during the early part of the year, and as a result of which the Kensington grade crossing elimination was promptly pitched in‘o the political arena and made & foa$ ball of the contestants. This phase of § was discussed in the council on m than one occasion with a view to taking the matter out of the realm of political discussion. Articles appeared in the newspapers from the House of Delegates’ side in- dicating that the council of Kensington was responsible for the delay. Even the State Senator was reported as in- | about one hour later found the ma- chine, unoccupied, at King and Union streets, and took it to police headquar- ters. Delaney was arrested when he went to headquarters to report his ma- chine missing. Charges of and driving while under the influence of liquor were placed against the youth also, but they were dismissed by Judge Nicol. Police say Delaney is a student at Georgetown University. Duff Is Legion Candidate. MOOREFIELD, W. Va, Mayy 11 (Special).—Dr. James A. Duff of Mar- tinsburg, W.

C. Hopkins, engineer of the State Roads Commission, was present at the meeting for the purpose of answering questions, as the State Roads Commis- sion has not yet completed its several plans for solving the matter. He did tell the townspeople that the proposed overhead crossing could be constructed for about $50,000 less than the pro- posed underpass. ‘There was some complaint that the people on the east side of the railroad tracks might bedamaged by the taking of their property for necessary road ‘widening K‘l connection with the proj- ect. However, this apparently came from others than the owners, for sev- eral of the property holders there sald that they would be glad to dedicate the land and would consider that their property would be all the more valuable by it Edgar Moore said that Connecticut avenue soon would not be able to carry the traffic through the town, and hi told those present that he rather favored the plan of B. H. Warner, jr., for a new road east of the town as a traffic relief Believed Best Solution, Mr. Warthen again presented his plan for an overhead bridge, and Ralph H. Chappell said that he believed this scheme was the best solution. He said that if the town, county and State could save $30,000 by the construction of an overpass, he thought this should be_given very serious consideration. When the question was asked as to whether the people or the State Road Commission had the final say as to where the ecrossing would be located, Mayor Ernest sald he believed that neither the State Commission nor the Maryland-National Capital Park and | Planning Commission were going to be | influenced by the likes and dislikes of the people, although they sincerely wanted to know how the pcople felt about the matter.
