COUNCIL TO GIVE OU POINT
BOULEVARD RIGHT OF WAY
ROUTE WILL BE EAST OF MAIN
STREET CHOICE OF SURVEY.
Means That Lake Como Will Be Re-
stored by Erection of Fine Concrete
Bridge and Tumble Dam.

At special meeting of Smvrna
Town Council, last evening, a resolu-
ton was offered by Councilman R. Y.
Wallen and seconded by Councilman
Thomas Jefferson, giving notice of an
ordinance granting the privilege of a
franchise to the State Highway Com
mission to run the DUPONT Boulevard
thru Smyrna from the entrance TO
Main street over Lake Como. and
thence in northerly direction east of
Main street as near to the business
center of the town as possible, with
right to purchase and condemn prop
erty, for a 100 foot right of wav.
This resolution was passed unani-
mously, every member of Council vot
ing. On motion, President L. NJ. Price
5. A. FOltner and J. E. Wilson were
appointed a committee to appear be-
fore the State Highway Commission
at the meeting to be held at 10 o'clock
this morning, present the resolution
and offer every encouragement to the
Commission to run the Boulevard
thru Smyrna. At first members were
strongly in favor of the Boulevard
coming direct thru Main street. but
after learning that the Highway Com
mission wanted from so to 80 foot
right of way, and that the granting
of this would involve a number of
stores and residences and might also
involve the sewer, water and gas
mains under said street, they became
OF the opinion that it would be best to
have the course of the State highway
run just east of Main street. Aside
from this it was deemed best to di
vert the truck traffic off of Main
street. While no definite survey has
been made, the road will probably
take a course across Lake Como on
the present causeway and then curve
east back of the gas house and then
in a nOrtherly direction across the
section of town known as "Whop-
ping" intersecting Commerce street
just the other side of the residence of
Mrs. NJ. (. Voshell If the State
Commission adopts this
course, it will mean that Lake Como
will be restored to beauty since a con-
crete bridge and tumble-dam will be
erected as quickly as possible in place
OF the present dirt causeway and made
into a wide and permanent thorough
fare. Both the Town of Smyrna and
the COrbitt heirs, owners of the pond.
are willing to this project which
would give a beautiful approach to
that end of the town. w. 0. Hoffeck-
er, OF Smyrna, member of the State
Highway Commission, is enthusiastic
about this move on the part of the
town of Smyrna, and is giving every
aid to the enterprise. Chief Engineer
Jpham viewed the situation Saturday

Date Postponed For Conference In
Wilmington to Last of November.
Following a conference with Bishop
w. F. Mcdowell, in Baltimore, last
week, DR.. Robert Watt, superintendent
of the Wilmington district of the
Methodist Episcopal Conference, has
announced that the meeting of the
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, scheduled for Wilmington in
October, will probably be postponed
until the Wednesday preceding
Thanksgiving. The change in the
time for the meeting is intended to
bring it closer to the annual meeting
of the bishops in Philadelphia, which
has been arranged to be held the first
week in December. This would en-
able the bishops, many of whom come
from distant parts of the worl0, to at
tend both meetings, which the ex-
pense attached to making two trips
would prohibit a number of them.

Being president OF one bank keeps
a man busy enough. but holding
that position with two institutions
at the same time is about all one
man can handle. John B. Cochran
can testify to this, and he is in a
position to know. as he heads the
Franklin National Bank of this city
and the Planters Bank of Staunton.
Virginia.
Mr.. Cochran is entitled to put an
Ill. B." after his name. but he much
prefers using "F. F. V" Any son
of Virginia would. They say that
the Presidents usually come from
that state. which is perhaps the
reason for Mr.. Cochrans presiden-
tial tendencies.
Although Mr.. Cochran was born
and raised in Staunton, Virginia, his
five years residence in WASHINGTON
has made of him one of the city's
best friends. He firmly believes CIT
izens of the District of Columbia
should vote and is optimistic with
regard to their chances OF doing so
within a short time.
Receiving his preparatory edu-
cation in the Staunton Military
Academy and Bellevue High School,
he later attended the University of
Virginia. where he graduated in
law. He practiced law in Staunton
for a number of years and also be-
came president of the Planters
Bank.
In 1914 he came to Washington
and helped to organize the Frank
lin National Bank. located at Tenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue.
Upon its organization he became
president and has held this position
to the present time. The Franklin
Bank is now one of the most popu-
lar banks in the business section of
Washington.
Mr.. Cochran usually spends his
vacations at Bar Harbor with his
wife's folks. This year he intends
to go there and indulge in his fav-
orite sport-pheasant hunting His
hobby is hunting partridges and he
does not use his ammunition in
vain.
He is a member of the Board of
Trade. Metropolitan Club and the
Chevy Chase Club.
