WASHINGTON GROVE WANTS NEW SCHOOL Association Votes to Offer Deed to Lot for Proposed Structure. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. ‘WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., June 3. —The stockholders of the Washington Grove Association have joined in the agitation for the erection of a modern public school building at Washington Grove, and at their annual meeting re- cently voted to offer to deed to the county a 3-acre lot,- facing on ‘the Laytonville pike, as a site for an ade-| quate structure. The proposition will be submitted to the county board of education at its meeting by Secretary Robert E. Palmer. ‘The meeting of the stockholders de- veloped, it is said, that a general feeling exists that Washington Grove has been badly neglected in the matter of public school facilities. The school now at- tended by the children of the Grove is at Woodmont, which makes it necessary for the Washington Grove children, who constitute, it is stated, 90 per cent or more of the enrollment, to cross the Baltimore & Ohio Rallroad tracks to reach the building. The stockholders elected F. L. J. Hiller, president; H. L. De Land, vice president; Robert E. Palmer, secretary, and I. L. McCathran, A. W.

He informed the associa- tion the town had an assessable valua- tion of real and personal property of $1,148,000.

Brooke Lee Take Up ! Montgomery Plans. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. SILVER SPRING, Md, June 3.—In an effort to speed up the road improve- ment program in Montgomery County, County Commissioner Lacy Shaw of | the northern suburban district and | E. Brooke Lee went to Baltimore, where this afternoon they are holding a con- ference with the Maryland State Roads | Commission. The forces of the com- | | mission do the constructing of roads | for the county. While the road program is the pri- | by Commissioner Shaw, they also will inquire as to the status of the proposed | viaduci under the Baltimore & Ohio Rallroad tracks just west of Sligo, in the line of the new direct highway between Sligo and Bethesda. Commis- sioner Shaw said that the plans were supposed to have been completed by the commission on June 1, but that he had not yet received them. Anxious to Begin Work. ‘The county officials are quite anxious to have the work started on this phase of the road improvement, as the con- crete roadbed on much of the eastern end has been completed. If the work is not started soon, it may not be pos- sible to open the highway on September 1, as originally planned. When the | | plans are completed, it will be neces- | sary to advertise for bids for the con- | struction, and this will consume several | weeks, including the time necessary for the examination of bids, the making of the award and the actual construction. Commissioner Shaw said that the county officials are very anxious to get started on the road building work and will ask the road commission to send the survey parties into Mont- gomery County immediately so that this work can be completed. It is the desire to complete the construc- tion before the end of the Summer season, as some of the roads are in| sections where there are only mud roads. It is in these sections that the | county will provide nine-foot wide con- | crete roads, with three-foot stone shoul- ders, so that there will be a hard sur- face road for the residents there. May Discuss Grade Crossing. It is probable, too, it was said, that the Kensington grade crossing elimi- nation also will come up for discussion. At the last hearing in this matter, the commission said that it was having two sets of plans drawn, one providing for an underpass of the railroad tracks and CLUBWILLBUILD NEW CADDY HOUSE Washington Organization to Seek Permit From Arling- | | i ton Zoning Board. : By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.
