Rock Creek Valley in Montgomery. By & Stal Correspondent of The Star. SILVER SPRING, Md., September 19 -A step toward the extension of Rock Creek Park into Montgomery County was taken last night by the Maryland- National Capital Park and Planning Commission when it decided to proceed immediately to secure dedication of land by property owners in the Rock Creek Valley. Some time ago the commission au- thorized a number of agents to ap- proach the land owners to ascertain whether they would be willing to give the necessary land for park purposes. According to Chief Engineer Irving C. Root, the majority of the owners ex- pressed their willingness to donate their property. The terms on which others would sell were ascertained. Detailed Survey Made. A detailed survey containing these facts and an approximation of the cost of the park project was prepared by Mr. Root, and submitted to the commission.

Some dissatisfaction was expressed | before the meeting by some Eastern Shore Democrats with the Chesapeake Bay bridge plank, which, they held, did | ot specifically promise that the span | will be built. The convention leaders point out that until the Governor's Bridge Committee | 1 reported it would be improper for the | party to pledge itself to any particular plan for the construction of the bridge. | Those seeking a change in the plank | did not press their viewpoint. | DeCourcy W.

Mr. Lee described the Governor as | #the man who in all the history of ouri State best illustrates the wisdom of | uniting executive power and executive r:xmsnnucy." concluding, the former progressive | leader declared that Gov.

It was there that the gruesome find was made. In charge of the freight, which was B. & O. train 103, engine 4497, was Conductor J. W. Tucker and Engineer H. Hobson. The men were both lying on top of an empty stock car, A.C.L. 140-361, which was the seventeenth car behind the engine. ‘The discovery was made by Special Officer Sherertz and was reported to Alexandria police by & J. Kelley, gen- eral yardmaster at Potomac Yards. Local police, headed by Sergt. George Everly, made the investigation, and after the bodies had been viewed by Coroner T. Marshall Jones they were removed to Demaine’s undertaking es- tablishment here. Police marveled at the fact that the men remained on top of the car after being struck, as the train must have come some distance after they were hit.

Jones replied that, while Gloth is bringing the suits, he is doing so under instructions from the board of supervisors and it is the duty of that body to instruct him to send notices. There was not a dissenting vote to the adoption of the report of the county government committee, which worked with the similar committee of the Civic Federation in the study of the available forms of government and joined with it in recommending the county man- ager form, advocating that the matter be voted upon at the regular November election. Engineer Is Speaker. The featured speaker of last night's meeting was Allen J. Saville of Rich- mond, former zoning engineer for the county. He was invited to address the body on the subject of adequate sewerage and to recommend the action to be taken to insure its immediate installation in the county.
