The dhL\’lCt engineer was of the opinion that even if the roadbed were raised and a larger bridge built, the flood conditions would not be perma- nently relieved. The trouble is caused by the waters of Paint Branch emptying into the Northwest Branch in greater volume than can be carried away, he sald. As a result it backs up on the highways, and traffic stops. One solution of the problem would be the straightening of the winding course of Paint Branch, so that the waters could flow off more rapidly and as were experienced Saturday be averted, the district engineer declared. Army Studying Problem. ‘The problem has recently been the subject of study by Army engineers, and Maryland Congressmen, called upon for assistance by the citizens’ groups, have expressed a willingness to co- operate.
