A permanent highway constitut-
Ing a direct route from the upper
section Of Prince Georges county to
Upper Marlboro and Southern Mary
land is in prospect if the State
roads commission adopts as recon-
mended by the commissioners Of the
county the thoroughfare beginning
near the residence Of Justice Of the
Peace Hugh O'Neill on the Washing
Indianapolis boulevard and pro-
ceeding to Largo by way Of Land
over. The road is about six and
one-half miles long. The commits
sioners recommend construction of
one mile Of concrete road on this
route out of the 1924 lateral road
fund. /.
Completion Of the six and one-half
miles will bring about the linking
Of this thoroughfare with the road
now being constructed between For
estville on the Marlboro pike, and
Central avenue by way of Richie.
At present those wishing to reach
Southern Maryland from the upper
section Of this county must go
through Washington or else use
roads that are in poor shape.
The commissioners have also rec
commended to the State roads COM
mission the adoption as a lateral
road Of the highway from Laurel by
way OF Bowie to Collington. Con.
struction of one mile out Of the 1924
lateral road fund is recommended
on this thoroughfare which, If taken
over by the State, will afford when
completed a more direct route for
citizens OF that section of the upper
end OF this county to Southern
Maryland connecting ultimately with
the Robert Grain highway now in
course Of construction.
Adoption as a lateral road of the
old Powder Mill road which runs
from the present terminus Of the
Riggs road to the bridge over the
Paint branch at the site Of the
old Powder Mill is also recommend
ed to the roads commission by the
county commissioners. Construction
OF one mile Of concrete road out
of the 1924 lateral road fund is
recommended on this road which
- two miles long. The county COM
misSioners have ordered the build
ing Of bridge over Buford branch
on the road from Ardmore to
Brightseat, Kent district, the money
TO come from the 1924 bridge fund.
The commissioners are to meet
In Upper Marlboro Tuesday for the
transaction of road business. APP
