et THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, JUNE 26, 1932—PART ONE. OVERPASS ORDER MAY BRING SUIT Trolley Company Refuses to Increase Grades in Ken- sington Project. BY JACK ALLEN, Staff Correspondent of The Star. KENSINGTON, Md., June 25—A controversy between the State Roads Commission and the Sandy Spring Rail- way Co, with the prospect that a legal battle involving the Kensington Town Council may follow, loomed strongly to- day when it was disclosed that the | traction firm has refused to comply | with plans for the construction of the overpass that will carry the proposed extension of Connecticut avenue over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks here. In a letter to the mayor and Town Council, in which he attacks the legal- ity of an ordinance recently adopted by | the council to raise the grade of How- | ard avenue toward the overpass to be constructed by the roads body, R. H Phillips, secretary of the Sandy Spring Railway, declared that his company flatly declines to increase its grades and elevations along that street as set forth in the measure. Demands Proper Contract. | He also asserted in the missive that | the company would consider only such | changes in the grade of its tracks as it | deems to be of a reasonable nature, and then only after the Roads Commission agrees to bear the cost of the work | and enters into a proper contract with | ings, started several years ago days at Atlanta conferring with officials regarding his new plans.

Phillips stated, in making public his stand on the matter, that the grade of | his road’s tracks would have to be | raised approximately 8 feet to comply | with the ordinance and estimated that such a project. would cost $20,000. In his attack upon the legal phase of the measure Phillips charged that un- der the present plans for the overpass the commission. seeks to construct an unnecessary and dangerous highway crossing at the grade over his company’s tracks north of Howard avenue, while under the charter granted the company in 1906 the Sandy Spring Railway is entitled to be relieved of the dangers of grade crossings equally with the Bailti- more & Ohio Railroad. Cites Law in Case. “It appears by the lews regulating the action of the State Roads Commission ‘with respect to crossing over railroads that a contract must be made with the railroad companies involved before such construction is begun,” Phillips said in his letter. “Reasonable changes in grade of its tracks and elevation and Jacation will be permitted by this com- | pany, provided the proper contract is made between the State Roads Com- mission, the Town of Kensington and :x;’s company and if the changes are de at a cost exclusive to the State Roads Commission.” The traction firm's secretary suggest- efl in his letter that it would be more practical to construct the bridge across the Baltimore & Ohio tracks at the same elevation as its roadway level of the track line of the Sandy Spring Co.’s bridge over the Baltimore & Ohio a | short distance west of the proposed site of the overpass.

CHICAGO, June 25.—Melvin Traylor, the Chicago banker, will be placed in nomination at the outset of the roll | call of the States. 2 | This was decided upon_tonight by Prank Scofield, the Texas rancher and manager of the Traylor campaign, after the Illinois delegation was released by | Senator James Hamilton Lewis, its fa- | vorite son candidate.

S. Aid. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va, June 25.—The recent elimination of the Collins amendment from the District of Columbia appro- priations bill will result in the renewal of efforts of George Washington Memo- rial Parkway advocates to raise $25,000 locally in order to insure the purchase of $100,000 worth of land, it was stated today by Mrs, Florence E. Cannon. The Collins amendment would have prevented the National Capital Park and Planning Commission from expend- ing any more of its funds for the pur- chase of land, and therefore would | have rendered ineffective an appropria- tion of $25,000 that was voted by the last General Assembly of Virginia for the purchase of lands for the parkway. The Virginia appropriation is contin- gent upon the raising of a like amount locally and the matching of the total by the Federal Government. Efforts of Hugh Lee Kirby, Mrs. Can- non and other residents of Arlington County to raise $25,000 either in cash or land donations had been brought to a halt by the Collins amendment. This was_stricken from the appropriations bill by the Senate and House conferees. ‘While the Virginia appropriation does not become available until 1933, it is believed the National Capital Park and Planning Commission could advance the amount of the State appropriation if the local fund is raised, the Federal act containing a provision that the Federal Government can advance the State’s share upon assurance that the money will be repaid. This would insure the purchase of at least a small part of the parkway lands while prices are low. ‘The National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission has available $800,000 left from original appropriations amounting to $5,000,000. Any portion of the balance, it is said, can be used for land purchase if assurance is given that Virginia or Maryland, as the case may be, raises a like amount for the same purpose. Any land so purchased becomes the property of the Federal | Government.
