Davis at the meeting | of the town council last night in Ta- koma Hall, announced that the town authorities_would co-operate with ihe Maryland Park and Planning Commis- sion”in_the beautification of the town and with particular attention to the | approaches to this suburb. He stated that he had been in conference with ihe | commission and had discussed the mat- ter relative to the treatment of the parks in this section. The council was advised by Lewellyn Johdan that the budget for the District of Colurabia included an item of $211,000 for construction of an underpass at Fern street to eliminate the crossing at Chestnut avenue, and that one of the most important mat- ters in connection with this proposed improvement would be the approaches from the Maryland as well as the Dis- trict side of the underpass. Boards Study Plans. Both the National Capital Park and Planning Commission and the Mary- land Park and Planning Commission are studying the project with a view to having the approaches laid out with attractive parks. There was some ob- jection, he said to the widening of Piney Branch road from 90 to 120 jeet by residents and property owners on | the District side. The construction of | the underpass at this point would pro- vide a main artery for traffic from Montgomery County through Takoma Park to the city. He informed the council that the Maryland Park and Planning Commisison was receiving 7 cents as its share of the taxes, and that every consideration should be given to the improvement of small parks in this area. The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission urged the town council to request officials of the Takoma Park Volunteer Fire Department to report immediately any failure on the part of any of its equipment, including the fire hydrants, in order that prompt at- tention be given the same. The matter will receive the attention of the fire and police committee of the council. Treasurer Reports.
