CAPITAL TO BENEFIT

A shorter and better road to Bal

That is what the mayor and COM
mon council of Hyattsville declare
will result IL Queens Chapel road
Is repaired for seveE-efghths of a
mile outside the western part of the
town.
The condition of the road at pres
ent is so bad that 1t is necessary
for motorists going to or coming
from Baltimore to continue on the
pike ard cross the b. & o. railroad
tracks, where numerous accidents
have occurred. The remainder of
the road, from Hyattsville to WASH
ington, Is in a splendid condition
and It would become an importaLt
artery in the roads system of this
section of the country IL the short
stretch of road were repaired.
Mayor Frank ]. Rushe. of Hyatts-
Vile. and a delegation of Prince
Georges County residents, including
George H. Lanhardt and o. B. Zant-
ginger. last Thursday put the mat
ter before the County commissioners.
The plan to repair the piece of road
met with the approval OF all the
commissioners except one.
The case was presented by Zant-
ziner. who declared that there are
four farmers above the proposed
stretch. who want the moneY which
would be spent on Queens Chapel
road used to build a new improved
road on the Bladensburg-R Rockville

hundreds of Baltimore and Wash

Der Of Representatives will be pre-
sented to the Maryland State Roads

when the mother asked her 6-year-
