By a Btaft Correspondent of The Stas BETHESDA, Md,, August 27.—If the ‘work of widening the Rockville pike be- tween Bethesda and Rockville is not completed the end of January, 1982, the work will be discontinued until the Spring of 1933 ‘to allow the use of the road as an artery to bring visitors to the Bicentennial celebration from the West into Washington, Maj. E. Brooke Lee, member of the State s Com- mission, announced today. Contract for adding 4l2-foot shoul- ders to each side of the highway was yesterday awarded to the G. & L.

The State wil furnish material for the shoulders and will make the back fill between them, giving a new surface fo the highway. The widening work will be begun at the Bethesda end of the road and car- ried north. When the work is started the pike will be closed between Bethesda and its intersection 2 miles below Rock- ville with the old Georgetown road. Trafic will be diverted over the old Georgetown road, which adds but 1 mile to the route between the two points. Dedications Secured. Contract for the Jaying of the shoul- ders was made subject to the securing of the dedications necessary for the ! work, Maj. Lee said. One-third of the dedications have been s°cured, he stated, while another one-sixth of the y owners have indicated their dedicate the required strips of land. Of the remaining one-half of the K:mt] owners, Maj. Lee said, many ve not been interviewed. + made it plain that if the work of securing tnese dedications held up the beginning l of the road work it probably could not be completed by the end of January and would thus have to be discontinued for more than a year, due to the need of the road during the Bicentennial ar. nm road is being constructed out| of money received by theiSuate from | the tax on and is part ot‘ the State-wi highway development now under way. m(’)’;:‘m for 'lden’ln: the five small bridges on the pike have already awarded, and ome of the contractors began work on one of the bridges yes- terday. s i, FIFTH CANDIDATE FILES FOR SHERIFF Carl A.
