DEFENSE ROAD AS
MEMORIAL HIGHWAY
Work To Be Started Soon On
Boulevard Over Route Used
BY Washington

Work will begin in the near future
to transform the old stage road, over
which George Washington drove from
the National Capital to Annapolis in
to a modern boulevard to be known
as Defense Highway.
This route, which was one OF two
proposed, has been selected by the
State roads commission in Baltimore
which was attended by Gov Albert
c. Ritchie The road passes through
8ladensburg, Lanham, Randle, to
Collington, thence over Priest Bridge
md through Camp Parole. The other
route suggested was by way of Seat
Pleasant. Largo and Hall.
Chairman j. C. Mackall, of the
Maryland commission, said a contract
for two more miles of the Bladens-
burg end of the highway would be
let in the near future.
Defense Highway is dedicated to
ifty-four Prince Georges county men
who gave their lives in the world war.
It's construction has been urged for
several years by the Good Roads
League of Prince Georges county. of
which John r. Riggles is president.
and other organizations and individ-
uals. 1t will be about thirty miles in
length, and the cost of construction
is estimated at $3S,O00 a mile. The
cost will be borne by the State of
Maryland.
The route through Largo was re-
jected by the Maryland commission
because it was the less direct.
One of the leading advocates of the
route selected was Col. Arthur E.
Randle. who filed a petition signed by
residents along the road and also ad-
dressed the commission.
