NEWRORD TO Y DISEUSSED BY CLUB North Takoma Park Group| Considers Proposed Gate- | way to Capital. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. SILVER SPRING, Md. June 22— The importance of developing a new | highway into Washington by way of | North Takoma Park over a pre new railroad crossing to eliminate the | Ppresent one at grade at Chestnut street | and over the Piney Branch road was | stressed at a meeting in the county | building here last night of the North | Tekoma Improvement Club. The meeting was atiended by Lacy | Bhaw, county commissioner of _the | northern suburban district and J. Bond Smith, general counsel, and Irving C. Root, chief engineer of the Marylana- | National Capital Park and Planning | Commission. ‘Would Relieve Congesti Provision of such a highway it was pointed out, would take care of traffic going into the National ital from the section east of Georgia avenue, and would thus relieve the great conges- | tion on the present thoroughfare in certain periods. It also would provide | a through route for traffic over the Toad from Laurel which now is being improved by the State. Mr. Smith, after explaining the work ings of the Park and Planning Com mission law, told those present that the proposed crossing must be looked |. at from a State-wide and national | viewpoint, rather than as a problem | of Takoma Park, North Takoma Park, | or the thirteenth election district. It | it a big problem affecting the Capital | of the Nation and suburban Montgom- | ery County. He suggested that the funds neces- sary to make the improvement should | be provided by the Federal Govern- ment, adding that it would be neces- sary to condemn three pieces of prop- erty in the District of Columbia and two in Maryland in order to provide the proper approaches. As it would be an arterial highway by way of Piney Branch road, the National Capital Park and Planning Commission should seek the funds from Congress, he sald, and he thought that the two Maryland Sen- ators and the Representative in Con- gress from that district would be glad 1o assist in obtaining the money. In this connection Mr. Smith said that the District is surrounded by a Chinese wall, from the standpoint of main arteries. From Bladensburg road around to Georgia avenue, he added, there is not a through highway. The latter has a car line, which makes it bad for other vehicular traffe, and jnJ then there is Sixteenth street. Rock Creek Park stands in the way of an- other through highway until Connecti- cut avenue is reached, he said. He said ‘that the possibility of having Four- teenth street for a thro had been successfully bl authorities of Walter Reed Hospi told those at the meeting that a building across the line of Fourteenth street extended through the hospital grounds. so that it would now be impossible to get this street through. Improvement Becoming Necessary. So, he continued, with other possi- bilities of through streets wiped out, the necessity of improving Piney Branch road became increasingly important. and M e lontgom Co,;l:ty feels the need of it now. i e proposed new crossing over Tailroad tracks in North Takoma, t:: said, should be planned carefully and thoroughly from a State and SUBURBAN NEWS. Little Girl Adopts Copperhead Snake; Takes It in Home Special Dispatch to The Star. HAGERSTOWN. June 22 —Four- year-oid Marie Lindsay adopted a copperhead snake as & plaything yesterday and was proudly fondling the poironous reptile, which she had found in the yard, when her mother saw_ her. The child had carried the snake to the kitchen and called to her mother. When Mrs, C. W. Lindsay saw the wriggling snake she almost fainted. A neighbor knocked the snake from the child’'s grasp and killed it. How the copperhead found jts way into this city is a mystery. ‘The bite of a copperhead is con- sidered by mountain people to be ‘more deadly than that of the rattle- snake. The child was unharmed. FIRES ARE REDUCED. Record for Spring Season Shows Falling Off of Number. ‘With practically sll fires reported. the record of the Spring forest fire season in Maryland this year will show a marked improvement. over last year, the State Department of Forestry has an- nounced.
