ed of New Congress.
Elimination of the Michigan avenue

Elimination of the Michigan avenue
grade crossing, where the Baltimore
and Ohio metropolitan branch crosses
Michigan avenue, between Eighth
and Ninth streets northeast, is before
the District Commissioners in the
form of a bill being drawn up for
presentation to Congress at the ses-
sion to open tomorrow. Pressing for
abolition of all dangerous grade cross
ings In the city, the Commissioners
obtained passage Of a bill authorizing
elimination of the Lamond crossing in.
Takoma Park at the last session of
Congress. although all the money re-
quired for construction of a viaduct
was not appropriated.
The Michigan avenue crossing Is
next in line and its elimination Is now
being suggested. Members of the
Citizens Advisory Council have been,
told this crossing is the only one set
for elimination this year. Viaduct
construction under or over railroadi
tracks in the District requires au-,
thoriZation OF Congress.

lying along -Runker Hill road, the
eastward extension of Michigan ave-
nue.. beyond Tenth street northea st 4.

Gus cases of near fatal accidents have
