Urges Piney Branch Highway
Be Extended Over Railroad

To the Editor of The star.
The news item in The Evening Star
OF the l7th instant to the effect that
the Maryland National Park and Plan
ming Commission will cooperate with
the local authorities In the construc-
tion Of the proposed viaduct ap-
proaches over the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks at Fern street In Takoma Park,
ID. c.. brings up matter OF great i'm
portance 70 the residents OF Northwest
Washington and the adjacent suburban
districts OF Maryland.
The construction of this viaduct. in
the first instance. Is In line with the
planning and development Of the city
OF Washington itself. The crossing 10
be- eliminated lies wholly within the
city limits. with perhaps only the be-
ginning Of the northern Tor eaStern)
approach lying in Maryland.
The original plan for the system OF
streets and highways Of the city OF
Washington, which would and should
be observed in connection with the con-
struction and location OF this viaduct.
was unfortunately tnterfered with by
the closing of the northernmost end or
Piney Branch road-where 1t leads 10
the railroad-~a stretch OF about l50
feet in the rear OF the block fronting
on Chestnut street. between Blair road
and Spring Road place.
The including OF a portion OF Piney
Branch road In the act OF June 80.
1925, authorizing the closing OF GER
tain streets and highways OF the Dis
trict OF Columbia turns out TO have
been plainly q mistake--not blamable
TO Congress but due mainly 10 the
hasty action OF local citizens asso-

If any one will consult a map OF
Northwest Washington he viii see that

Dirty Cities.

ST. Louis is given the unenviable dis
tinction OF being the dirtiest city in the
United States in report before the
American Society of Heat and ventilat-
ing Engineers. after experiments lasting
over q period Of four years. Next on
the list of dirty cities comes Cincinnati
followed by Pittsburgh, which, up to a
few years ago. held the undisputed title
New York Is fifteenth on the list. Wash
ington twentieth while Boston Is given
credit for being the cleanest city In the
country.
These figures In themselves mean lit
tie, but when 1t Is realized that the
average resident Of st. Louis Is inhaling
in excess of a tablespoonful Of SCOT and
dirt every twenty-four hours. and resi-
dents of other cities a proportionate
amount, they grow startling. The old
saying that every one must eat a "peck
Of dirt" before he dies Is being carried
out with interest, and 1t is evident that
residents Of dirty cities eat or inhale
their quotas long before their life span
Is finished.
There Is no question that the air OF
an average city is seriously polluted
and 1t is remarkable that the human
race Is able TO withstand so well these
conditions It is quite evident from the
report Of scientists that st. Louis and
other cities high up on the list do not
adequately enforce their smoke -preyen-
ton laws. but now that the matter has
been brought home TO them in this
striking manner II Is to be hoped that
steps viii be Immediately taken to
purify the atmosphere.

Of the deer became locked the two
