BALTIMORE, Md, August 29— Awarding of the contract for Rhode Isiand avenue had been held up for several weeks owing to the fact that the State Roads Commission felt the damages awarded property cwners on rights of way of the extension by a sheriff's jury of Prince Georges County were excessive. For some time the commission was inclined to take the case to court. This would have delayed starting of the work until next year and the commission finally decided that, in view of the urgent necessity of re- lieving congestion on the Washington Boulevard at this point, public interest | would be better served by paying the amounts awarded and completing the improvements this year Work on the bridge over the North- west Branch of the Anacostia River, which was awarded to the firm of Christhilf & Ensey of Baltimore by the commission last year, has been in progress for some time and will be ‘completed at the same time as the con- | The | § tract awarded to the Mullin Co. bridge is of a double span, reinforced concrete girder type, and when com- pleted will represent an investment of $18,738.50, which, with the $54.711.50 for the 1.67 miles of roadbed, will make the total cost of the Rhode Island avenue extension $73450, exclusive of the awards in the condemnation pro- ceedings, which will bring the total | amounts, approximately $100,000.
