SUBURBAN NEWS. 0. TOCONPLETE ITH STREET LN Work Will Start to Finish Gateway to Montgomery Road. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. i SILVER SPRING, Md, September 9.—Another link in the network of new | highways in the metropolitan district | planned as a part of a system to move traffic to and from the District of Co- | lumbia by way of ‘the Sixteenth street , gateway will be completed and opened this Fall, it was learned today. This link will be the paving in the District ' of Sixteenth street, northward from Kalmia road to the District Line, there to connect with the new east and west direct highway between Sligo and | Bethesda. | Real estate development along this section of Sixteenth street has been held up because of the lack of street improvements. However, with the ap- roach of the completion of the direct ighway, Montgomery County leaders pointed out the need of this District end of the improvement, so that the so-called “north portal” could be de- veloped. The new east and west high- way will permit traffic to come from Wisconsin avenue at the entrance to the business section of Bethesda by an almost direct route to Sixteenth street, and traffic from the east end of the county may use the same roadway, and thus avold the business section of Sil- ver Spring and Georgia avenue in the District of Columbia. D. C. Decides to Act. ‘The District of Columbia Commis sioners decided to build the necessary “Washington link of this system, follow- ing a conference with Senator Millard F. Tydings of Maryland the latter part of last week. Senator Tydings informed E. Brooke Lee, Speaker of the House of Delegates of Maryland and county Democratic boss, that the laying of the paving on this link would be started about September 23, According to a statement of Senator Tydings, made public by Maj. Lee, this work, which was to have been com- menced in August, was delayed because the grading, which had been finished | last Fall, did not give sufficient surface width for widening North Portal Park at the intersection of Sixteenth street and the District of Columbia-Maryland boundary. The roadway, 160 feet wide; has been graded to the Maryland State line since the Fall of 1928, the state- ment says.
