PROPOSE CHANGES
FOR PARK ROADS
Col. Sheriff. Considers Shifts
to Open Traffic Through
Rock Creek.

Proposals to shift certain roads in
Rock Creek Park near the Zoo and to
widen fordS in order to make the
park more accessible and convenient
artery for traffic naturally cutting
through it have been made to Col
{. o. Sheriff., officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds
one OF these proposals, which is
understood already to have received
the informal approval of Col. Sheriff..
would provide for through traffic by
way of Adams Mill road, through a
road now closed through the Zoo at
sundown. across a new ford and up
onto Cathedral avenue
AT the present time gate is closed
at the entrance of the road into the
Zoo near Adams Mill road, obstruct-
ing traffic after that time.
One Proposal Favored.
The proposal understood to be fav-
orably considered by Col Sheriff. pro-
vides for the transfer OF circular
part of good roadway skirting a hill
within the Zoo. beginning at the en-
trance at Adams Mill road. to a place
near the fox pens. from it's present
status under the Smithsonian Institu-
ton to the Potomac Parkway Com
mission. This would -call for moving
of the fence to the other side of the
road. 1t would open the artery to
traffic all the time and. it has been
stated. would not obstruct the view to
be obtained therefrom nor hinder any
of the present uses of the road. Near
the fox pens it would be necessary
to construct a new ford, it has been
pointed out, and provide paving of
an outlet which eventually would cut
into Cathedral avenue
This proposal is understood to have
been given more favorable considera-
tion in lieu of another former propo-
sition which was to have accomplish
ed the same purpose of providing a
connecting link for traffic from both
sides of Rock Creek Park at this
important point.
Big Difference in Costs
The former or alternate proposal.
it is understood, would have cost
about s260.000. or about 10 times as
much as the plan to move over the
fence, build a new ford and do some
paving.
The previous plan would have
transferred an old colored cemetery
in the vicinity and constructed a new
artery straight through this general
territory, connecting up the roads on
both sides of the park.
Widening of the present fords has
been proposed to Col. Sheriff. as a
means of making them passable even
in high water. During the Spring and
Fall there are frequent intervals, it
is pointed out. when the roads in
Rock Creek Park are closed by gates
on account of high water in the fords.
Were the fords themselves to be
widened sufficiently, it is pointed out,
they would be "navigable" by auto
mobile even during most of the high
water on account of the wider stream
bed cutting down the depth of the
flow.

Turkey has a hard problem on it's

There is lack of funds to indem-
