107" SUBURBAN NEWS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1929. SEEKS FEDERAL AID RETAIL MERCHANT IN NEARBY FLOODS Prince Georges Exchange Club Discusses Situation at Bladensburg. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. COLLEGE PARK, Md., Ociober 4— The Bladensburg flood situation, made timely again by the downpour of the past few days, was seen as a matter affecting Federal property and one which the Federal Government should assist in co.recting, by the members of the Prince Georges County Exchange Club. Holding their semi-monthly meeting here, members of the club pointed out that the periodic floods at Bladensburg tied up interstate traffic, seriously in- terfered with business in the suburban area and caused considerable property damage. They voted to co-operate with the Great Bladensburg District Citizens’ Association, which is co-ordi- nating the efforts of all interested or- ganizations, in hastening the elimina- tion of the flood menace. Army Interested. A. H. Seidenspinner declared Army engineers were interested in getting data on the effects of the floods, an ‘Willlam Connors was appointed to pre- sent such information as the club could gather. Inasmuch as the waters seri- ously interfere with and sometimes stop trafiic over the National Defense High- way it was felt the Federal Govern- ment should share the expense of eliminating the floods. Connors reported a county ice and fuel corporation lost $500 a day when- ever there was a flood at Bladensburg and that the local gas company also suffered heavily. Join in Celebration. The club gave its indorsement to a plan to celebrate the opening of the extension of Rhode Island avenue, and the individual members agreed to dec- orate their houses and places of busi- ness for the annual field day of the Knights Templar in Hyattsville, October 23, President O. B. Zantzinger, , p- pointed Rev. Clyde Brown, W. A. - dleton and Dr. W. B. Spire a committes to work with other organizations in- terested in the avenue celebration. The club will hold its charter ban- quet at the Beaver Dam Country Club within the next few weeks, preliminary arrangements for this event being taken yesterday with the appointment of a committee comprising C. J. Parkinson, A. H. Seidenspiner, Willlam Connors and Leo Dunn. MARYLAND GETS BIDS FOR COUNTY ROADS Proposals Received for Two in Montgomery and One in Prince Georges. Special Dispatch to The Star.
