0OVE T0 IMPROVE | WSCONIN AVENUE loint Action Sought for De-; velopment From D. C. Line to Bradley Lane. Br a Staff Correspondent of The Star. SOMERSET, Md., August 3.—Thirteen civic organizations in the area south of | Bradley lane are to be asked to merge | their influence into a “Joint Committee | on Wisconsin Avenue Improvement” to | provide public improvements _along | Wisconsin avenue between the District | of Columbia line and Bradley lane, as claimed to have been provided for the section of Bethesda between the lane and the intersection of the old George- Comprehensive resolutions layine down some of the more important i provements, pointing out that the nort| ern end above Bradley lane is getting | or is about to get some of them, while | none is being considered for the section south of the lane, have been adopted. They are to be sent to each of the 13 organizations, and each is to be asked to name one committeeman to serve on the joint committee which is to fight for its improvements by con- certed action. The resolution, one place says that “this premier suburban section of ! Montgomery County, in view of its proximif to, and being the western gateway of, our National Capital, con- tributing so large a share of the tax- able basis to the metropolian area, has been backward in receiving its just pro- portion of highway, park and public improvements in the past, thus failing to keep pace with the spirit and de- mands of the times.” Garden Club Agrees. The resolution was adopted by the Montgomery “Suburban Garden Club, which already embraces a number of organizations in the area affected. The club puts itself strongly behind the following program of _improvement, which it is planned to have the joint committee, when formed. also push: 1. Creation at the District of Co-| Jumbia-Maryland line at Wisconsin avenue of a circle or small ornamental park. 2. Widening of Wisconsin avenue be- tween Bradley Lane and the District Jine to the full width conforming with the plans of the Maryland-National Capital Planning Commission, and the Federal commission, and the program brought to an early completion by the construction on both sides of the ave- nue from the boundary line to Brad- ley lane, of a curb and gutter, 5-foot parking 'and 4-foot sidewalk, in or- der that steps may be taken to bex tify this gateway with a comprehensive parking and tree planting program; that in the interest of public safety, community beautification and highway efficiency. the trolley poles in this area b= moved to the side, as has been dcne in the District; making the grade of the roadway on the west side conform | to that on the east side, and the plac- ing of the car tracks at grade. May Correct Crossing. 3. Correction of the “dangerous and | awkward” crossing at Wisconsin ave- nue. Dorsef avenue and Grafton street The organizations which have been esked (o appont representatives to form the jont committee are: The Town Council of Somerset, the citizens’ committee of Friendship Heights, the citizens' committee of Drummond, Friendship Heights Citizens' Associa- | tion, Chevy Chase Terrace Community, | board of _trustees of the Somerset School, Somerset School Parent- Teacher Association, the Woman's Club of Friendship Heights, the Woman's Club of Somerset, the community of Chevy Chase Gardens, the community of Kenwocd and the Montgomery Su- burban Garden Club.

Shoemaker, Mrs. H. R. Watkins, Mrs. W. L. Kline: Mrs. Holland Huntington. R. C. D. Hunt, C. W. Bryan, F. C. Wallace, Emory W. Bogley, C. F. Thompson and Donald E. Chamberlin. If it is necessary to have the improve- ments called for in the resolution, it says that it favors appropriate action by “our representatives in Congress and the State Legislature be taken look- ing to the enactment of such laws as may be necessary.” Seek Planning Commission Aid. The co-operation of the Federal and Maryland Park and Planning Commis- sions, the State Roads Commission of Maryland, the Public Service Commis- sion of Maryland, and the Washington Railway & Electric Co. is to be sought.

OFFGALS EXPECT QUET PRIARES Veteran Democrats, How-‘E ever, Term Prevalent Seren- ity as “Lull Before Storm.” | 1 e o \ Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 3.—The | Democratic primary to be held here | Tuesday, from all indications, will go | down into the history of the party as the quietest election ever staged by the Democratic organization of this city. | Outwardly very little interest has | been manifested by the voters, while but | little campaigning has been accom- plished on the surface by either the candidates for local offices, their sup- porters or the workers for the guberna- torial candidates. The usual feverish solicitation of votes also is missing. « But for the placards of the various aspirants dotting poles and windows there is nothing to indicate that an election is impending. Fear Change of Party By Some. An angle causing much speculation is the fear that many of the Democrats who swung to Hoover in the presiden- tial election last November have per- manently joined the Republican forces. However, veteran members of the usual quiet and serenity now notice- able is the “lull before the storm” and | the real tempest of vote soliciting will | burst forth Monday and Tuesday. Others are of the opinion that the lack of “noise” can be more easily at- | tributed to the friendly feeling that ex- ists between the candidates. A sort of intra-club feeling, as it were. Four Primary Contests. ‘There are only four contests in the primary—for governor, civil and police | justice of Alexandria, Commonwealth's | attorney and for the House of Dele- | gates from Alexandria. The incum- | bents holding the offices of commis- sioner of revenue, clerk of the Corpora- tion Court, city sergeant and city treasurer are unopposed. | The gubernatorial candidates are G. Walter Mapp, Rosewell Page and John Garland Pollard. The other names that will appear on the ballot are as follows: Civil and police justice—Willlam Snow, the incumbent; Clyde B. Lan- ham, and Aylett B. Nicol. Commonwealth's attotrney—Albert V. the incumbent; Frederick G. Duvall. House of Delegates—J. Fred Birrell, the incumbent; Howard T. Colvin. City treasurer—Roger C. Sullivan. Corporation Court clerk—Elliott F. Hoffman. City sergeant—Robert H. Cox. Commissioner of revenue—Charles H. Callahan. 5,043 Qualify to Vote. ‘There are 5043 voters qualified to vote in the election Tuesday, but it is expected that less than 2,000 will go to the polls.

ROCKVILLE PLAGED ATHEAD OF PARK Planning Commission Outlin- ing Scheme-With This Object in View. - BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY. Staft Correspondent of The Star. SILVER SPRING, Md, Aug. 3.— Rockville will occupy a -commanding position at the head of one of Mont- gomery County's park projects, if the ideas of the city planners now being worked out can be carried into effect, it was disclosed by Irving C. Root, chief engineer of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning ission. Mr. Root is now working on_the city plan for the town, under instructions given by the county building committee at the time it was decided to proceed with the construction of a court house and county bullding to replace the present structure. City Plan Developed. While the city plan for Rockville is only being drawn up in the rough at this time, it has been so far developed as to show that the lwoposed new Cabin John Parkway will come ug:w the town limits. While there has been much discussion as to the necessity of preserving this area for park purposes, nothing definite has as yet been done, as the planning commission officials have been putting their work on the Rock Creek and Sligo parks. These projects are well on the way to reality now, and it was said by Mr. Root that the work of designing the Cabin John Parkway would be undertaken at an early date. Its importance has been increased as a result of the action for the development of the town of Rockville. While the plans so far developed | provide for four streets leading out of the town and converging on the road- ways for the proposer parkway, it is pointed out that they will run for a mile and a half through an area which is neither in the metropolitan district nor within the cm’Sflle limits of the town. Even so, the planners are going ahead with the design to show how a system of streets can be worked out through this area to direct traffic into the park which will carry it to the old George- Bradley boulevard, Conduit Would Develop South. This propose! roadway inauguration on the south of the town also will re- sult in directing development in that direction, giving an opportunity for expansion which the town has not ex- perienced,Of course, although the area is not within the planning district, the roadways can be provided by appropri- ate action of the Board of County Com- missioners. If it should be desirable to exterd the metropolitan district up to the town limits, it cannot be done until the Legislature meets again in the first part of 1931. The streets which it is proposed to extend to the parkway are South Adams, South Washington, Monroe and Van Buren, They were among the first to be put down on the plan which | is being developed for the town, which, like many county seats throughout the country, has largely developed around one street. In the improvements being sought as an adjunct to the provision of a formidable county building to house the Jocal government, it was deemed necessary by the building com- | mittee to provide for large expansion. Authority for the planning was con- tained in an act passed by the last While details of the proposed city plan for the county seat are not ready for publication, it is known that gen- erally they will provide for more through traffic lines in the town, | whereas now there is only one, Mont- Miss Belle Burke of Char- | gomery avenue, on which there is now much congestion, particularly where the road turns onto the Prederick pike. It was condition that caused the last Legislature to enact a law to authorize the widening of the street, taking a rt of the square which it is proposed acquire as an addition to the county building site. Could Divert Traffic. One of the proposed througl ways would provide for traffic around the main street of the town, particular- ly that trafic which comes up the Brookeville pike, by way of Norbeck. ‘This, it is suggested, could be di put on the Frederick road some distance would enter the town just east of the ; pm‘v’id::l to e this traffic 4 carry around the business section. A bill providing for the improvement of this road was introduced in the last Legislature, passed by the House and rejected in the Senate. ‘With the provision of this thorough- fare, it would be possible for traffic leaving Washington or going to it to use Sixteenth street, and a proposed road west of Silver Spring to connect that thoroughfare with the Brookeville pike, making it one of the important \‘Nm?” for trafic to and from the est. While the town streets are planned with a view to these connections, of course, it will not be possible to provide for all of them until the next meeting | of the Legislature. TWO ROAD CONTRACTS GIVEN IN MARYLAND Highway to Chesapeake Beach and One to Olney to Be Surfaced With Concrete, Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, Md., August 3.—The State Roads Commission yesterday awarded a contract for paving with concrete six miles of the road from a point near Hills Bridge, in Prince Georges County, to Sundeland, Calvert County, to the Robert Paving Co. of Salisbury on its bid of $164,087.

It makes a di- rect route from Upper Marlboro to the bay resort, shortening the distance by about 10 miles. At the same time the commission awarded a contract to Thomas, Ben- net & Hunter of Westminster, to pave with concrete the Laytonsville Damas- cus road in Montgomery County. for & distance of 3.2 miles on their bid of $70,967.

Opinion Rendered on Rejec- tion of Lyon Park Citi- zens’ Registration. Special Dispatch to The Star. CLARENDON, . Va., August. 3.—The Virginia law, which provides one year's residence in the State before a person can vote, does not apply to primaries, according to an opinion received by Thomas R. Mechem, membey of the Arlington County Democratic committee of Lyon Park precinct, from Attorney General John R. Saunders. , ‘The opinion is the result of a letter written to the attorney general by Mr. Mechem, following rejection by the registrar in the Lyon Park precinct of the application of a resident for registra- tion. The ruling of the registrar, ac- cording to Mr. Mechem, was upheld by Claude O. Thomas, secretary of the Arlington County electoral board. Many Desire to Vote. ‘The attorney general was advised by Mr. Mechem that a number of persons in his precinct who moved into Virginia in October, 1928, desired to register and vote in the approaching primary. “It is my opinion that such persons, if otherwise qualified, are at this time entitled to register and vote so far as residence is concerned,” the attorney general writes, quoting section 26 of the State Constitution, which states: “Any person who, in respect to age or residence, would be qualified to vote at the next election, shall be admitted to registration, notwithstanding that at !.l:l:l ml';:l }th;ml t‘l’t‘l is not so qualified, sl entitled under the pro- visions of this constitution.” L Further Opinion Expressed. Continuing, the opinion sets forth: “Section 35 of the constitution provides that if a person is registered and qualified to vote at the next succeeding election, he may vote at a legalized primary election. The first paragraph of section 228 of the code, Virginia election Iaws, page 74. is but declaratory of these constitutional provisions. Due to the wording of section 20 of the con- stitution, such a person does not have to pay any capitation tax as a pre- requisite to the right to register in the year 1920 and vote at elections held this year.” NEW MOVIE FOR LAUREL. | nyLnAlun Correspondent of The Star.
